Welcome
We are a 100% volunteer-run NYC makerspace located in the heart of New York City in Greenwich Village. The brainchild of Noah Sapir and bootstrapped by Fat Cat jazz club in 2013, we’ve been a hub for artists, students, engineers, hobbyists, startups, and meetups to gather and grow through 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC routing, sewing, electronics, and more. Welcome!
Philosophy
At Fat Cat Fab Lab, everyone has the freedom to teach, learn, share, pratice, and create. We often see people come for the tools and stay for the community. Whatever you decide to do to make this place better, will make it better for everyone. As a community, we celebrate the hacker ethos and open source movement.
Dues
Member dues are collected monthly and go towards maintenance, new stuff, and keeping the lights on.
Storage
Storage bins (77Qt, 66L) are available for storing personal items.
Access
Members have 24/7/365 access to the lab. Though, you can't live here.
Responsibilities
Members are asked to help take care of the lab. We don't force anyone to do anything, but doing a small part goes a long way!
Helping out with the lab looks like:
- Cleaning up after you're done working (putting away tools, etc). This is a minimum requirement!
- Taking out garbage on garbage days, emptying trash cans
- Turning off lights, closing windows, sweeping/vacuuming
- Organizing tools/items
- Maintaining or fixing equipment
- Hosting meetups
- Teaching classes
- Working on our website or wiki
- Or whatever else!
Remember that the lab is only taken care of and exists because everyone does a part, we don't have magic brownie spirits!
