Laser Cutter Appointments for the Holidays
The holidays are our busiest time of year! To help you plan ahead, we are temporarily requiring laser cutter appointments from November 17 - January 9.
Appointments are for one hour, including setup time.
All other equipment is first-come, first-served.
Collaboratory hours:
- Sunday and Monday: Closed
- Tuesday-Thursday: 10am-8pm
- Friday: 10am-5pm
- Saturday: 10am-4pm
Guidelines
Limits: One appointment per household scheduled at a time.
Arrive design-ready, or come in early: Your design must be final (correct size, no edits) and ready within 15 minutes of your appointment start time, or your appointment will be forfeited.
Be on time: Appointments are forfeited 15 minutes after start time.
