INACTIVE TILL NEW PREMISES ARE FOUND.

Ipswich Makerspace houses a range of tools and hardware. We have soldering irons, two laser cutters, several 3d printers, and a complete woodworking shop, including a lathe..

Currently closed, because of loss of premises. The Ipswich Makerspace Coder Dojo is still operating at Ipswich Gainsborough Library (Google for details).

Successes: Our Tractorbot has won prizes at Pi Wars Cambridge four times now, including first place in 2018. At Pi Wars 2017, our redesigned TractorBot took second place in the Pros/Veterans category. We have since open-sourced this design - details at http://ipswichmakerspace.com/tractorbot-is-open-source/.

Informally twinned with Ipswich Makerspace, Queensland, Australia.
