Artwork added to Makerspace!

Bysporter News & Updates

The TRU Library Makerspace is happy to share that we’ve added some new life into our space by adding four artwork pieces from the TRU Permanent Collection to our walls alongside our very own #TRUMakes Community Identity Tokens. Come by Makerspace to view these pieces (as these pictures unfortunately cannot capture them well) and more during our open hours!

The two art pieces, Portraiture of a Radiolarian Pink and Green, are a pair of silkscreen prints. They are inspired by microscopic fossils called Radiolarians. They are an exploration of colour and my love of science and art.

Makerspace has 4 Ultimaker 3D printers. These printers have 2 extruders on them, which means each extruder can have a different colour. This allows users to create designs that can have multiple colours in them! If you would like to learn how to print objects with 2 colours follow the steps below! We will be using Tinkercad for this project and it will be based on the identity token project all new users have to create.

With a little effort, and with some inexpensive supplies, decent looking miniature figures can be produced with a filament printer.
I found two open-source models of pterosaurs on Thingiverse. There are many other miniature files available at that site.
The supplies I used are easily available and inexpensive. (Most of the tools came from a dollar store.)

Makerspace is looking for 2 new Student Makerspace Ambassadors for January to April 2024! Ambassadors support the Makerspace by providing orientations, tours, and helping users get started and troubleshoot issues. Knowledge of Makerspace technologies isn’t required but enthusiasm about supporting hands-on learning and experimentation is a must!
