Firehose Workshop
by Dylan Baldridge on Apr.23, 2024, under Uncategorized
Here at Midsouth Makers we love the Memphis community. This includes both the people and animals who make this city what it is. Last month, Midsouth Makers had the opportunity to help out the Memphis Zoo and work with some firehose donated by local fire departments. During our workshop, we made enrichment for the elephants, gorillas, and rhinos based on plans from hose2habitat.com. The items are currently in use and both the keepers and animals are thrilled about our work. Check out some pictures of the workshop taken by the amazing Memphis Zoo photographer Brandon Lau and if you are at the zoo, keep an eye out for MSM’s work!

We Have Merch!

Like the title says, MidSouth Makers officially has merch! For a very limited time, we have pocket T-shirts for sale with our logo on the pocket and on the back of the shirt. Sizes S through 3XL are available for just $25/shirt. We will be closing orders this coming Friday, 7/21/2023, so no dallying! To order just go to https://midsouthmakers.org/shop or click the MERCH link in the upper right. We use Paypal for our payment processor, but a Paypal account is NOT needed to order.
We want to thank our next door neighbors at Bartlett Sports who are producing the shirts. If you need custom apparel and want to keep the business local, go see them, they’re a great group of people.
One other note: they must be picked up at the Makerspace. If you cannot make it to an open house or have any questions or concerns about your order, email us at info@midsouthmakers.org and we will be happy to help.

Thanks to the nice folks over at Elegoo we will have a brand new 3D printer at the Makerspace soon – the Elegoo Neptune 2S! It is an i3-style “bedslinger” with many cool features like Filament Runout detection, a spring steel magnetic sheet w/PEI coating, a dual-gear all-metal extruder, and a Power-Off Resume.
As a special treat, we will be unboxing, assembling it, and getting the first print going LIVE during our next 3D Printer Clinic on Saturday, August 13, 2022, at 1 pm CST! Everyone is welcome to this event, member or non-member. This is a great way to learn about 3D printers and 3D printing. Even if you’re already familiar with 3D printing but are having issues, come on out and let us help you resolve your problems. Or just hang out and watch us build our new printer!
We look forward to seeing you then!
