The Schantz MakerSpace was created for people who share the joy of making things, have a desire to learn or improve their skills, and wish to see the knowledge of craftsmanship survive into the future.
Classes Employees at Schantz Organ Company believe sound craftsmanship is more than just a company goal. It is a passion and a desire to create what few people can even imagine, in an environment that has encouraged this approach for over 145 years.
To keep that passion for skill and craftsmanship alive, the Schantz factory opened its doors to creative, like-minded people who now help us to encourage and teach the makers of tomorrow. Our community is filled with enthusiastic makers who want to bring their creative ideas to life, but lack the necessary tools or experience. We strive to provide educational opportunities and experiences for people who like to build, invent, tinker, and/or learn new skills.
Our next class will take place on Saturday Jan. 14, 2023 and Jan 21, 2023. We will be building the Ender 3 (version 2) tabletop 3-d printer. This has been our most popular class. It is limited to 10 participants, and it will fill up fast. Our volunteer instructors will take each class member step by step through the process to build the machine from a kit. In the second Saturday session will we learn to program and operate the machine. The workshop costs $200 and you take your machine home afterwards to continue learning. The class will be held at the Romich Foundation maker space, 13875 Cleveland Road, Creston, Ohio 44217 If you have questions or would like to register, contact Rolf Nelson: nelsonrw24@gmail.com

We want to send a message to all the folks who have participated in our classes. If you built a machine and you are having problems with it in terms of adjustments, calibrations, parts., programming, etc. we offer a "repair cafe" Our volunteer instructors will be on hand for the Maker Monday meeting. This is your chance to bring in your machine and let us help you fix it. We hope to see you there.

At Schantz MakerSpace, we designed a class where students could buy CNC Router kits and, over the course of four weekend class sessions, our instructors helped them through the process of building their machines.
Learn About Our CNC Build Classes Our students have built over 100 3-D Printers and we are now rolling the program into the schools. We have completed workshops at Wooster and Northwestern schools and plan to bring the program to others in the near future.
Learn About Our 3D Printer Build Classes An Arduino is like a little computer chip that controls things like electric sensors, lights and motors. It is the ultimate tinkering tool for a maker. Most people aren’t trained in its programming capabilities to make full use out of it.
