Welcome to Maker Nexus Wiki
Maker Nexus is a makerspace in Sunnyvale, California. This page provides a starting point for information relating to
About Maker Nexus
- Main article: Maker Nexus Makerspace
- Address: 1330 Orleans Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089
- Phone: 408.685.2500
- Email: info@makernexus.org
- Business hours: Mon–Tue 10am–5pm; Wed–Sun 10am–10pm
- Where would people find out about holiday closures and the #openorclosed Slack channel? --JSaxe
- Web Site: https://www.makernexus.com/
Membership
Equipment
- Main article: Maker Nexus Equipment
- Wood Shop
- Metalshop
- Electronics
- 3D Printers
- Textiles/Vinyl/Leather
- Laser Cutters
- CAD/CAM Software
- Office Equipment
- Are there other topics we'll want to add under "Equipment"? Where does the injection molder fit? the vacuum former? the jewelry bench and tools? whatever we expect might be going on in a "mud room" (silk screening?)? What else? --JSaxe
Classes
Main article: Maker Nexus Classes (TBW) --JSaxe
- Current Class Schedule (grouped by class)
- Maker Nexus Class/Event Calendar (sorted by date)
Policies
- COVID Protocols Should this be more prominently placed? --JSaxe
- Safety
- Our current information about safety (even in the narrow sense of avoiding injury, death, or property damage on account of improper use of tools or improper handling of materials, and not including things like anti-harassment, child protection policies, and COVID protocols, which are also safety concerns) is currently scattered in several places, some of which are marked as "DRAFT":
- It makes sense for safety information about specific sectors and tools to be on the respective sector and tool pages, but I think our general safety information could be better organized. --JSaxe
- The Ethics and Conduct page is currently marked as "DRAFT" though linked from other pages. --JSaxe~
- The page Acceptable Use and Security Policy page is currently effectively orphaned. Is the content accurate? Is there a better version somewhere else? --JSaxe
- ... What else goes here? Stuff about guests? kids? pets? class cancellation? (not) repairing your engine in in the parking lot? alcohol? firearms? For policies that aren't linked from the Main Page, what will be the obvious link to take people with questions one step closer to an answer? --JSaxe
Collaboration tools
MN Collaboration tools (documents, classes, online chat, equipment reservation, and more)
- MN RFID System (for building access)
Organization
Things to consider moving up or out of this page
- Below are some topics, including various current wiki pages with MN-related content, that I haven't fit into the categories above. I don't intend this "Miscellaneous" category as a dumping ground for those topics, but as a reminder for us to decide what to do about them. Some won't deserve to be linked directly from the Main Page at all. Others might deserve very prominent placement. --JSaxe
- Mission
- Volunteering
- Donations
- Building map
- Tours
- Room rentals
- MN COVID Response Not to be confused with COVID Protocols --JSaxe
- Maker Store

- Projects/Members
- MN Sample Ads
- Maker Nexus History
- MN Thanks You
- MN Clean shop
- MN wood shop
- MN dirty shop
- Makerspace IT/Computers
- MN Design Style Guidelines
The following pages are currently orphaned (or effectively orphaned). --JSaxe
About Makerspaces and Making in General
- Why do we need makerspaces?
- Locate a maker space in your area
- How to start your own community maker space
- Other items bulleted under "Maker Spaces and Resources" on the current main page ("Businesses offering discounts", "Ideas for Classes", and "A secure RFID system" could go a click farther away, either on the "Starting a Maker Space" page or on some new page. --JSaxe
- Tools and Tips — This is our collection of notes for makers on tools, techniques, materials, settings, and sources. Articles linked from here may or may not be relevant to equipment or activities at Maker Nexus.
- The words "Tools and Tips" would link to a new page with the links that are under that heading on the current Main Page. --JSaxe
