The City is considering cutting all Teen Service programs for multiple years, and we need your support to let them know that programs such as MakeX, YCS, the arts center, and more. Please join the Zoom call TODAY @ 1pm to tell the city how important these programs are to you! tinyurl.com/teenfunding

Hey everyone,

I hope y'all are comfy thinking up of all the projects that you can make when quarantine is over. If you can't think of anything, here is something that everyone (with a 3D printer) can do in the comfort of their home. The rapid spread of the coronavirus led many hospitals with shortages of supplies, so we need YOU to help them out by creating face shields for your local hospitals and test centers. Check out our website below to get the .stl files and remember to send us pictures of them!

Happy making!
The MakeX Team

This full-face mask design is relatively quick and easy to print. All you have to do is download the STLs for the headband and bottom reinforcment, print the parts, and fill out the appropriate form below to coordinate us picking up your parts!

Hey makers! Kaiser Health is currently short on protective face masks. If any of you have a 3d printer that can print PET/PLA (PET strongly preferred) or have filament you can donate, fill out this form by Maker Nexus, a fellow makerspace, to help out:

Please complete this form if you have 3D printer capacity in the SF Bay Area and can use your machines, or allow Maker Nexus to use your machines, to produce face shields for use in medical facilities. You can see the design here: makernexuswiki.com/index.php?title=3D_printed_face_shields

The city of Palo Alto is cancelling all programming, and since MakeX is a city-funded activity, we will be closing open hours through the end of March. Make sure to follow us on social media and join our mailing list to stay updated. In the meantime, keep making things from home and send us pics on social media!
