Welcome to the Maker Wiki!

This is an open wiki for makers. It is also the repository of public information about Maker Nexus' makerspace in Sunnyvale, California. We document a lot of our organization in this wiki. Read about us here.

This wiki is about fabrication and making and a bit of hacking. It covers tools, techniques, materials, settings, and sources. Frankly, we set it up so that we wouldn't forget all the good things we have learned through hard work and getting help from our friends. Everyone is welcome to use our information.

If you'd like to contribute, please sign up for a FREE account. Once you've created an account we will give you access to edit and add to this wiki. (Note that right now only admins can change this home page. If you want to change the home page, just message us and we will get it set up.) If you need to practice your wiki editing skill - it's easy once you get used to it - try this sandbox page.
