If I'd start a non-profit organisation, I could ask the government for grants probably.
Maybe start a system where people could lend their devices to the space, so they could earn some money on them long term. Depending of the initial cost of a device, I'd pay 10EUR-20EUR every time I'd use a special device. 10% of the profit goes to the makerspace, 90% to the device-lender. With 50-100 uses, you'd start making money.
I could see something like this work.
- justinclift 3y agoMost of the cost for running Makerspaces seems to go towards rent, at least here in Australia. :( --- On that note, if anyone knows of good potential locations for a large Makerspace in Brisbane, Australia... "Hackerspace Brisbane" (HSBNE) is looking for a new home: https://www.facebook.com/HSBNE/posts/pfbid0iAakLGAK39h8qDA7NfP7Lpo4ccovpaZGwNBjabiYoAzWmpzgw3uzTQne2NDHKFe2l https://www.facebook.com/HSBNE/posts/pfbid0iAakLGAK39h8qDA7N...
- Gigachad 3y agoSeems to be a bit of a problem where in low rent areas, people would just have a shed with all the tools, but in high density areas where you’d most want it, the rent is going to be highest.
- justinclift 3y agoYeah, fully agree.
