(repost of my original Email to the Group)
G’day Makers,
I’m excited to announce that we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to:
1) Get ongoing access to a 24x7 purposely built maker space that will be part of the new Eaton Library currently under advanced planning (think next 12-18months away), a perfect home for the SW Makers.
2) (the fun part) we also get a say in what we would like to get it kitted out with, i.e. 3D printers, Laser Cutters, Robotics, Raspberry Pi/Arduino Lab etc. what else? Think Blue Sky Stuff here, big wish list items as we probably wont get another chance again to go shopping again.
What type of 3D Printers? Sizes?
What Type of Laser Cutter? Size? Wattage?
Robotics, any educational kits worth looking at, i.e. Lego Mindstorm etc.
What Else?
Sooooo.......
We urgently need ideas on equipment, make/Model, costings, weblinks to Australian Suppliers would be very helpful, unfortunately we need them yesterday as grants are being applied for right as we speak and closes soon.
Sue Parora, also a member on this list is managing the project for the Shire of Dardanup and if you have any questions either Myself or Sue will try to answer.
I will also open up a topic on the Forum so you can post ideas.
