Consumables
Consumables are common useful items, materials, and other supplies that hackspace aims to keep in stock for everyone's convenience.
Consumables are for the reasonable light use of all members in their projects. If you are using a large proportion of our stock of any item, you should consider buying it it yourself rather than depleting the Hackspace's communal supply. Common janitorial, maintenance, and PPE items are also classed as consumables.text/html2026-03-10T22:32:49+00:00samp20 ([email protected])BOTLab Quarterly Members' meeting Q2 2026

Maintenance and Repairs
Repairing and maintaining tools and equipment is one of the ways you can give a little time to keeping the space running. Some tools have maintenance teams which you can join.
If you find a tool or piece of equipment to be broken or in a poor state of repair, please take it out of service by sticking a sign to it, and posting on the forum.text/html2026-02-22T17:30:58+00:00tggzzz ([email protected])Power Supply - Maplin N93CX
