Sorry, no. Unfortunately we are '''not''' a job shop, fab lab or tool rental company. You're going to need some patience. We are 100% volunteer run.

Good question. The laser cutter is our most popular tool. Our CNC area host, Elizabeth, holds regular office hours. Check the member's mailing list, she posts regularly.

The laser cutter is our most popular tool. There may be an authorization session on the Events calendar, or one may be in the process of forming, usually based on a discussion on the Google Group mailing list. There are a few recommended authorizers for the laser; it is no longer a viral authorization process. There is no recurring regular schedule for laser cutter authorization; it is a demand-driven activity. If you can find 2 other people that are willing to schedule a session at the same time, your chances of getting an authorizer to agree to show up are much better.
