Repair Clinic and Take-a-Party!

Have something that is broken and want to fix it? Maybe you have something you want to re-purpose. Or perhaps you have always wanted to know how something works but lack the tools to take it apart?

Come to the Repair Clinic and Take-a-Party at Solid State Depot!

Spend an afternoon at Solid State Depot (SSD) working on your project and getting expert guidance from the friendly makers!

Completely free!

All people, of all skill levels, from beginner to expert, are welcome to attend!

SSD is a non-profit maker space serving the Boulder, Colorado community. We have the tools and human know-how to help you.

Friendly makers with skill using the tools in the makerspace will be on hand to give you advice and help you fix your item or make it into something new. Nothing says “maker” more than breathing life into an old device. Don’t put it into a landfill. Make it live again!

The makerspace contains the following tools:

3D Printers
Laser cutter and engraver
Sewing machines and serger
Ceramics area including wheels and kiln
Electronics lab with soldering irons, oscilloscope, multimeters, and more
Shopbot (computer controlled mill for woodworking)
Fully stocked woodworking area with chop saw, table saw, drill press, and more
Metalworking shop with lathe, mini-mill and Tormach machine
Welding area with welding machines and cutting and grinding machines
Computers and small hand tools for working on computers
Hand tools galore

(Note: While all of the above tools are available at SSD, some high power tools and cutting tools require certification before use. SSD will try to have tool certified members available during the event but cannot guarantee that a member certified to use a given tool will be available during the event.)

Sometimes repairing a beloved device is easier than you think: You just need the right know-how and tools!

Important: While we will do our best to help you fix your broken device, we cannot guarantee that it can be fixed at the event. Even if your device cannot be fixed at the event, we will do our best to give you advice on the next steps to fix or re-purpose your broken device.

If you don’t have a broken item or item you want to re-purpose, do not fret: We will have a lot of fun devices for you to take apart and explore! Make something cool out of our collection of free parts and take it home!

Children are welcome with adult supervision!

The event is free but space is limited. Reserve your spot today!
