All members with an active lab membership may store a so-called "lab bin" ("labblåda") on the shelves in the corridor. '''It's only allowed to keep one box on the top shelf in the corridor. You may not store anything on top of boxes on the top shelf.''' Use a plastic bin of [http://www.orthexgroup.se/produkter/forvaring/forvaringsboxar/smartstore-classic/smartstore-classic-31 SmartStore Classic 31] or [http://www.orthexgroup.se/produkter/forvaring/forvaringsboxar/smartstore-home/smartstore-home-31 SmartStore Home 31]. You buy it yourself and they are sold on, among other places, at [https://www.clasohlson.com/se/F%C3%B6rvaringsl%C3%A5da-SmartStore-Home/34-1552-31 Clas Ohlson] and [https://jysk.se/forvaring/korgar-mm/plast/forvaringsbox-smartstore-classic-31-lock-0 Jysk]. Please note that only these models are applicable. It's much easier to pack efficiently if everyone's boxes are the same size. '''Mark your lab bin with your name and membership number'''. You can print labels for your lab bin using [[Memberbooth]].
All members with an active makerspace access may store a single storage box ("labblåda") on the shelves in the corridor. Use a plastic bin of [http://www.orthexgroup.se/produkter/forvaring/forvaringsboxar/smartstore-classic/smartstore-classic-31 SmartStore Classic 31] or [http://www.orthexgroup.se/produkter/forvaring/forvaringsboxar/smartstore-home/smartstore-home-31 SmartStore Home 31]. You will need to buy it yourself as we don't sell them directly at the space.

Please note that you should only use a box of this model. It's much easier to pack efficiently if everyone's boxes are the same size. '''Mark your box with your name and membership number'''. You can print labels for your box using [[Memberbooth]].


If you intend to take a break and not be an active lab member for more than a month, you should take home your lab bin. If you leave it at the space for more than 45 days after your lab membership has expired, the box and its contents will become property of the Makerspace.

All our larger rooms are used, but the storage opportunities are quite compact despite our space's size of 300 m<sup>2</sup>. If you want to store projects that do not fit in your box, make sure that;
There is limited storage for larger projects in our storage room. There are a few shelves there which are available for members to use for larger projects for a shorter duration. You should only keep projects there which you actively work on, since they otherwise quickly fill up. If you want to store projects that do not fit in your box, make sure that you;


* Put the items in a bag, tape them together or in some way make sure that there are no loose items.

Exceptions can be made during a shorter period of time (occasional days), providing that the project does not block anyone else's use of the workshops. Please note that the project still needs to be labeled as described above.

'''- Can I get help with X for my project?'''
'''- Can I get help with X for my project?'''


There is no one at the space just to help you, but if you talk to other lab members at the space or ask a question in our [[Slack]] there may well be another member who can help you get started so you can do it yourself.
The makerspace has no staff, it's completely member driven. This means that the best way to get help is to just ask other members. If you are unsure about how to use a machine, ask someone at the space if they might be able to show you. You can also ask questions on any topic in our [[Slack]] or in our facebook group. More often than not, lots of different members will chime in with ideas and help.
 
This, of course, goes both ways. So if you see someone at the space who looks a bit lost, they would probably appreciate a helping hand from you.
