I hadn't seen Rob in years, but I had an emergency today--a 14-foot by 30-inch banner needed…read moreovernight for a 7 a.m. event. Rob answered my call, remembered me immediately, and said he could do it. I drove over to his new location and he printed it in under 25 minutes! His prices are unbeatable--he only charged $10, while FastSigns quoted over $500. Years ago, he helped me print a different banner, showed me how to install the grommets, and gave me a grommet kit--six years later, I still remember how to do it! Rob is a wealth of knowledge, and his makerspace is all about helping people learn, create, and even having a platform and commuity support to start making money. If you've ever wanted to learn how to 3D print, use a laser engraver, CNC router, drill press, bandsaw, vinyl printer cutter, or any of his amazing machines--this is the place to join. Sign up for a membership, explore workshops, complete projects, and empower yourself. Whether it's for a banner, group, or business, check it out--you'll love the opportunities here!

Rob emailed me pictures of my part (which was very small) just a few hours after I sent him the request. He verified that it was the right size and that it looked appropriate and then had me pick up the next day. His communication was excellent. The part was ready when I arrived, along with a small printed cat which was very sweet. He was kind enough to give me a tour of the makerspace and told me the story of how he came to start the makers space. I really loved his mission and how he is clearly passionate about his work. After the tour he made it clear if I needed any changes or adjustments to the part, he was happy to help me. The part worked perfectly, and I was able to finish the repair within a day of it breaking, all thanks to Rob. I highly recommend his business, 3d printing is one of many other machines and services offered at his facility.

Dennis is fantastic! I've had the best time learning woodworking from him. His shop has been a…read morelovely place to get comfortable with woodworking and gain foundational knowledge, like learning how to calculate / measure correctly, how to use the tools, choosing appropriate woods, etc. I've appreciated that he puts a lot of emphasis on safety and proper technique when using the machinery. I end up feeling more confident with using the tools, with knowing how to avoid accidents. Dennis makes the class environment a comfortable and nice place to hang out. There's creative energy all about. I look forward to going each week and seeing what projects the other students are up to or chatting with him. He's not only a great instructor but also so easy and friendly to talk to! Dennis' enthusiasm for woodworking and old tools will quickly rub off on you. It's a great balance between a structured class curriculum and freedom to customize your projects. I've since discovered that going to the lumber yard and choosing woods feels a little like being a kid in a candy store. It's so much fun to do something hands on and design / build your own furniture. I highly recommend the Wood Work Shop to anyone looking up to pick up woodworking.

A few months later, after researching many printer designs and different brands, I ended up purchasing the big brother, of the Bukito, called the "Bukobot." Since all of this was new to me I thought excellent technical support was critical. Deezmaker is open seven days a week, and you can reach them by email, or by phone, or if you're in the area, in person. Every time I've needed help with something, I've gotten immediate assistance. Best of all, everyone there is not only knowledgeable, but friendly, with none of the attitude that sometimes crops up when you're a beginner asking an expert for help. I've been to the store a dozen times, whenever possible I go to their monthly Meetup, and again and again I've seen a willingness to answer even the most naïve questions. This morning I discovered that a part on my 16-month-old, heavily used printer, had cracked. I drove out to Pasadena, hoping they would have a replacement in stock. Not only did they have it, but they encouraged me to do the work myself while I was there, and provided helpful suggestions, and even let me use their tools to make the repair. If you have any interest in 3-D printing, or simply want to understand something about the mysteries of it, stop by their shop. You will feel truly welcomed, and if you want to delve deeper, I strongly recommend the class they offer, called, "Zero to Plastic," which is a very thorough and well presented introduction to 3-D printing. I've had a lot of fun with my Bukobot, and it has turned into an essential tool in my design studio.
