Some of the projects our members work on: aquaponics, FIRST robotics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Internet of Things (IoT), electronics, ham / amateur radio, wearable electronics, home automation, microcontrollers, quadcopters, drones, 3D printing, art, etc. We are working on offering a wide range of classes from Minecraft to sewing to LED lighting to Linux to lockpicking to movie making and photography to ceramics/pottery. Whether your interest is technology like hardware or electronic devices, software, or artistic like art, design, film, or music, we're here to help you with your projects.
Our workshop currently has 3D printers, a laser cutter / engraver, CNC wood routers, welding, sewing machines, embroidery machine, vinyl cutters, a heat press, kilns, electronics tools like soldering stations, oscilloscopes, metal / machine tools including a CNC mill, vertical mill and lathes, and a full woodshop with table saw, bandsaw, crosscut / miter saw, planer, jointer, router table, lathes, sanders, hand tools, etc.
We are located just south of Tampa Airport and are reasonably close to all of Tampa Bay - Pinellas County / Clearwater / Largo / St. Petersburg, Pasco, or Hillsborough / Tampa.

Please note: this is not the tool signoff for 3D printing at Tampa Hackerspace. Effective April 2024, this class focuses on PrusaSlicer, rather than Cura. While Cura offers the broadest printer support for Hackerspace members and nonmembers alike, the audience has shifted since the pandemic to more people looking to use the Prusa machines we have onsite.
This is a hands-on, online class for anyone who is brand new to 3D printing and wants to get up and running with choosing models and getting them ready to print. We recommend that you join this class from a computer you will be using to prepare models for printing, especially if you are a member of Tampa Hackerspace and plan to use the machines at our site. This class does involve installing software on your computer and following along with the instructor; however, there is no final project, and you are free to listen and take notes instead.
We’ll take a look at a few sources for models that you may want to print, and we’ll look at how to tell what kinds of modifications your model might need to print successfully. We’ll walk through setting up PrusaSlicer, an interface that will convert the digital images of your model into toolpaths for the printer to make your model into a physical object. Finally, we’ll take a model from .STL to GCode to show you the full process of getting a print ready for production. Once we’re done, we can cover some questions and answers you may have about 3D printing and, if applicable, joining Tampa Hackerspace.
If you do not already have PrusaSlicer installed, you can download it directly from Prusa (for free!) at https://www.prusa3d.com/en/page/prusaslicer_424/ . We won’t spend much time on the install during class, so you can save yourself some time if you download and install before we meet. I will be in the class a bit early in case you have any questions about downloading and installing the software. (Note that PrusaSlicer runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.)
