Repair Café at the CoMakingSpace

We are cooperating with Ökostadt Rhein-Neckar to extend the Repair Café scope beyond the usual repair categories. At the CoMakingSpace, the entire wood workshop stands ready to help with small furniture repairs and we may even be able to replace a couple of broken plastic pieces by 3D printing new parts! We would also like to invite people who would like to learn about bike maintenance :-)

• next date: October 15, 2022 / 14:00-18:00
  • preparations start at 12 :-)
• interested members: join #topic-repair on slack or talk to Lukas!
• we need: repairers, organizers, cake donations?!

• past dates:
  • April 30, 2022 / 14:00-18:00 (facebook event)
