One of our members built a nice miniature TV for theatre. For a small film set, they created a tiny television to play back clips during the show. It uses a Wemos D1 Mini (ESP8266) and a 1.44" TFT display. Check out the project on GitHub: github.com/sonarkon/HOP...

Remember Fluffy Furbies? This little one is in extended surgery mode and might get some new features soon. One of our members is currently debugging the controller PCB with a logic analyzer to make it possible to control the little fluff and give it a new soul.

October has arrived, bringing spooky season to the lab. Alongside our usual workshops and meetups, we might just have a few tricks up our sleeve. Open Community Days: Thursdays @ 18:00 #hackerspace #makerspace #openworkshop #MunichMakerLab #MuMaLab #DIYMunich #octoberevents #munichevents

One of our members is turning a Mini 4WD car into a track analyser. A sensor and battery mounted in the car's body record movement data during a run, helping him compare chassis setups and tune the car for the track.

Running local AI models made one member's laptop run hot and slow. His solution: a custom fan-based cooling stand, now on version 2. The project also gave him plenty of practice with CAD modelling and splitting a large design for a smaller 3D printer.

During the hot summer months, some of our members restored these garden seats to replace our old, broken benches. It was not a small job, but the result was well worth the effort!

Sometimes the flu turns into maker time. One of our members spent his sick days modding his 3D printer to hold a pen and writing custom plotter software, with help from one of the latest AI models. It has presets for paper games and, of course, proper Bavarian language support. Priorities.

Not happy with the available box generators for the laser cutter? Build your own. One of our members vibe coded a custom version and used it right away to make a proper enclosure for one of our button machines. Software available here: codeberg.org/simmarith/dx...

One of our members supports theatre projects with custom technical gadgets. This unusual-looking device recently received an update: it is a remote-controlled vehicle equipped with moving-head LED lights for creating special effects.

One of our member build a small turret orchestra inspired by Portal 2. Each turret is driven by a solenoid switched through a solid state relay. A Pi plays a MIDI file and the original audio at the same time, triggering each turret based on its assigned note.

One of our members built a 3D printed Battle/Death Racer. If you haven't heard of them: Death Racers are small motorized vehicles where the goal is to knock the hat off the other rider's figure. Now he just needs a few more makers to build their own so the battles can finally begin.

Look who just came around the corner, it's Wall-E! This little robot is one of our members' projects, and he is currently working on his autonomous capabilities so he can drive around without external help.

We got a new table saw and had the chance to test its additional safety feature, which helps prevent injuries from contact with body parts. No wiener was seriously harmed in this experiment! We hope to integrate the saw into our current setup soon.

As mentioned in previous posts, our Munich Maker Lab logo often serves as a test for different production methods, from 3D printing to screen printing and embroidery, but this one was not on our bingo card: the Munich Maker Lab logo as a tufted rug.

The last stained glass workshop brought another round of impressive results, with participants creating beautiful pieces despite having no prior experience in glass art. Expanding the workshop capacity worked out really well, allowing more people to get hands-on time and complete their own projects.

As part of our electronics workshop, participants can turn leftover electronic components into creative tiny creatures. This little wizard even got a staff with a working lantern.

Some impressions from our last Open Doors Day, with a wide range of offerings and lots of demo projects on display. It was a great chance to show what the lab is about, share ideas, and give visitors a look at what we build and explore together.

One of our members recently joined a stained glass workshop to learn the basics, and quickly turned that knowledge into her own creations. She designed and built two beautiful pieces after the course, each with its own distinct style.

One of our members got tired of cutting screws to the right length by hand, so they printed and built a handy jig for the Dremel to do it precisely. 3D model source: cults3d.com/de/modell-3d...

Two members rescued a lonely bike from the trash. Since both wanted to learn more about bike repair, they went all in: completely disassembled it, cleaned and oiled all the important parts, repainted the frame and put it all back together. The result is a nicely refreshed retro bike.

No proper maker yard without a proper flag. We ordered one, two arrived and now we have both an outdoor flag and an indoor banner. No one can miss us anymore.

One of our members collected some old wooden boards and crafted a cherry end grain cutting board from them. It took time, patience and a fair amount of effort, but the result turned out better than expected.

Munich Maker Lab @munichmakerlab.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Recently, we helped out our neighbors from the Spectrum Maker Space. They had sourced a special rubber material to laser-cut a custom stamp, with the housing to be 3D printed on top of that. The result is really nice and we are thinking now to make also custom stamps with our own Logo.

A member brought pre-grown tomatoes to the lab today, delivered by bike trailer. The mobile mini greenhouse, built from euro boxes and acrylic, fit right onto the carrier. The tomatoes are now planted in our raised beds in front of the workshop.

Finally, we got a decent disc and belt sander. A few members had been wanting this for a while, and after a member poll the community decided to get one. We went for a model with a big motor so it has enough power for typical sanding use cases.
