One of the goals of Splatspace is to help our community with the skills and
resources we have available. While we certainly think we help do this with our
workshops and other lessons, sometimes we get to help in a more direct
fashion.

The Western Alamance Robotics Club — a local FIRST team
— recently came to us needing help with some custom parts for the robot
they’re building for their challenge. They came to the space and met with
Jeff Crews, who offered to help them print the parts they needed.

Over the course of a few days the team iterated through the design they needed
and sent their final stl files to Jeff, who printed them over the weekend. The
Alamance team had to do a bit of sanding and fine tuning on the parts to get
a good fit, but the print was a success and they’re continuing their build!

Here’s one of the parts they printed, installed in their build:

We’re thrilled that Splatspace could be part of this project, and that we
could help out local makers.

If you need help with a project, or have something cool to show off like the
Western Alamance Robotics club, come visit us at one of our open
meetings.
