ECE Makerspace Wiki
Machine guides, parts locations, filament stock, workshops and rules for the ECE Makerspace in RM3125A.
This wiki is the operating manual for the ECE Makerspace in RM3125A, Academic Building: how to run each machine, where parts live, what filament is in stock, and the rules that keep the space working for everyone. Exco maintains it. Edits go live the moment they are saved, so these pages are more current than anything you were told in passing.
Quick links
Machines
Live status, quick start, verified settings and repair guides for all 8 machines.
Component Banks
Searchable grids for electronics, assembly & mechanics, and the screw wall.
Filament
Live inventory with low-stock alerts and a restock request flow.
Workshops
Session plans with interactive run checklists for workshop runners.
Lab Rules
The consolidated lab-wide rules, covering safety, cleanup, logging and reporting.
Reporting an issue
Every machine page opens with a live status badge; check it before you plan work around a machine. If a machine misbehaves (a clog, grinding, a failed print, an unusual noise), report it to exco the same day rather than assuming the next person will deal with it. Ask the exco on duty, or message the WhatsApp group (contact details to be added). The QR button next to the badge opens that machine's page on your phone, which is useful when you're standing at the machine and need the specs.
Editing
Exco members can edit any page of this wiki at /edit. Changes are live immediately; there is no rebuild step.
