Sewing now on Tuesdays at Starship Factory too!
As the sharp-eyed reader of our website may already have noticed, we introduced new opening hours at yesterday’s plenary. From now on Starship Factory is open every
Tuesday and Friday from 18:00 to 22:00
That lets us take account of the increased demand for a meet-up on Tuesdays.
We have also thought of those who have no idea what to start with here: for a small fee we provide our new Starship Factory starter pack. It contains a Starship Factory T-shirt to print yourself and a small kit for building an electronic name badge with a 3D printer and a soldering iron.
We have also decided to lower the recommended membership fees from April 2014. The recommended minimum contribution has been set at 20 francs a month, or alternatively 200 francs a year, payable in advance. Anyone for whom even that amount is not financially possible may still apply for a reduction of the fee when joining the association.
But we also want to show our appreciation to those who are willing to give more to the association. Anyone who commits to paying more than the recommended contribution each month gets a small thank-you:
- Anyone paying at least CHF 35 a month receives a discount on our starter pack, a small voucher towards using our machines and, on request, a place in our sponsors’ hall of fame.
- Anyone paying at least CHF 40 a month additionally gets our association newsletter delivered free.
- Anyone paying at least CHF 50 a month also receives a Starship Factory surprise every year and, on request, a gift of some seeds.
- Anyone paying at least CHF 150 a month may in addition place a 3D print of themselves in our sponsors’ hall of fame.
Finally, we wanted to do something good for visitors who turn up without a laptop but still want to take part in 3D modelling or T-shirt printing, so we have got hold of three visitor laptops. These are available to any visitor for modelling, designing, painting, surfing or programming.
We hope as many visitors as possible will enjoy these improvements, and we look forward to a lively turnout on our meeting days!
