OPen Lab at Marston Makerspace
Open Lab is for everyone!
In addition to housing the UF Libraries 3D Printing Service, Marston Makerspace offers shared equipment and workspace for creative projects and collaboration during Open Lab. Find us in the basement of Marston Science Library, just across from the elevators.
Marston Makerspace is staffed and supervised during Open Lab hours; no booking or appointment necessary — just walk in and get started! Access is not restricted based on major, departmental affiliation, lab enrollment, completion of training modules, etc. We welcome both academic and hobby projects.
We charge for only two things: 3D printing (at the rate of $0.15 per gram of filament) and button supplies. Everything else is free for reasonable personal use while working in Makerspace!
There is no fee to use our sewing machines, soldering stations, glue guns, cutting machines, heat presses, hand tools, etc. Please note that Makerspace tools and equipment are for in-lab use only and cannot leave the room.
Materials are limited, and if you need something specific for your project (like three yards of dinosaur flannel or a certain replacement capacitor), you must provide it.
Marston Makerspace does not offer any classes or workshops at this time. We’ll do our best to provide personalized assistance with your project on a walk-in basis during Open Lab hours.
