Description	The Starship Factory is a Maker Space in Basel with a focus on learning, teaching and transparency. We try to combine not just wide-spread techniques of a Fablab, like 3D printing and CNC milling, but also try to include textile working (sewing, cutting, T-Shirt pressing etc.) and want to find more working areas in the future.

The Starship Factory is a Maker Space in Basel with a focus on learning, teaching and transparency. We try to combine not just wide-spread techniques of a Fablab, like 3D printing and CNC milling, but also try to include textile working (sewing, cutting, T-Shirt pressing etc.) and want to find more working areas in the future.

We take experiments and learning very seriously, so we also applied the process to our organization itself. We have a basic democracy, which means all members decide monthly what happens with the goods of the organization, and we are very transparent about everything, because we would like other organizations to learn from our mistakes and successes.

We're currently still in the setup phase of our makerspace so we don't have a big room yet, but we do have a number of projects and some equipment, such as:

• A 3D printer
• A T-Shirt press
• A vinyl cutter
• A wire bender
• Several programmable Elna sewing machines (from the 1950s)
• A weather station
