Storage space
While we don't have a huge amount of space available for storage (as we try to use most for tools and equipment) there is a variety of storage options.
- Member Euro-Box
- Project Pallet
- Lasercutter Sheet Material Storage
- Storage Box
Member Euro-Box
- Every member can store one euro-box (size 40 x 30 x 22 cm, e.g. for personal materials or equipment) in the pit/basement. The stairs are next to the electronics corner.
- Suitable boxes are available for purchase in the pit, look for the labeled boxes in the back. You pay for the boxes and they stay your property.
- Please put your (ideally unique) Slack name on both short sides of the box, so the board of members knows who to contact. The boxes need to remain stackable - that means you can not fill them above the top!
It used to be that two boxes per member were allowed, but the shelves are almost full now, that's why the limit is currently reduced. Further note from Aaron (06-2025): If we clean out some junk from the pit and find suitable shelves at the Baumarkt or Ikea, we could increase the limit again. Help is much appreciated.
Project Pallet
This is the standard way to store projects you are actively working on. It is located between the laser cube and a row of storage boxes. There is a couple of things to note:
- This space is "first come, first serve" - if it's exhausted, you will need to take your project home
- It is limited to one euro pallet - so please be mindful of the space you use
- There is a 7-day time limit so everyone gets the chance to work on bigger projects
Please make sure to note your name and date clearly visible on your project (and all parts that belong to it). Items that are on here for more than 7 days become free2take automatically - so make sure to look after your projects :-)
Project Box
This pilot project was decided on the 20230528 Plenum - all details are subject to change at any time. Members can temporarily use one of the previous member boxes to store larger projects. There are one big ("full-size") and two small ("half-size") boxes available. To claim a box, please read the following rules and use the list on the door to claim it:
- The Project Boxes are "first come, first serve".
- You can have one temporary Project Box at the same time.
- Be considerate and do not take a Project Box if your project easily fits on the Project Pallet.
- When claiming a box you must store a Project in there. First, bring your project, build, and then claim a storage box. (Just storing material is not a project.)
- There is a 7-day time limit, and it is strictly enforced - your stuff becomes free2take and WILL be removed from the box after 7 days without further notification!
- Please do not put a lock on the door. We will regularly check if the boxes are in use so we can reallocate boxes that are free or not used in accordance with these rules.
- Doors need to be fully closed and you can not have any items stick out (just like with any other boxes)
Members are asked to clarify conflicts (e.g. other members claiming a box for 3 or more consequent weeks) by talking to the member directly. Should you have any questions, issues, or feedback about this program, please speak to German (on Slack or in person).
Lasercutter Sheet Material Storage
The Lasercutter Sheet Material Storage is located at the entrance. This space is meant for laser materials only and works very similar to the project pallet, but with a storage lifetime of 3 months instead of 7 days. Please make sure to note your name and date clearly visible on your materials. Items that are in the shelf for more than 3 months become free2take automatically.
Storage Boxes
If your member euro boxes are not large enough, you can rent an additional storage box, or parts of it. Currently it's 40 EUR per complete box, though renting only one half of a box is possible. The basic design plans are here: Storage Box. Build a box yourself will give you some free storage time. If you are interested in renting just talk to the board of members.
