Next

• Library station with reviewed best books to start each course of study.
• 3D printing station with instructions.

Eventually

• Shared plans and video on how to construct the common types of stations for various common hackerspace tools
• Getting those shared to the tools-in-spaces database pages at Hackerspaces.org

Possible

• Incorporate electronic touch screen kiosks into the 3D printing station to allow printing common objects without plugging in a laptop
