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.
Salivate all you want, but we're not talking about tasty pastries. This month's feature presenter, Jim Kennedy, has explored the applications of Octoprint software on the Raspberry Pi. A Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that can be used for a wide range of maker projects. Octoprint software allows you to use the Raspberry PI to remotely perform and monitor all aspects of your 3-D Printer. Jim will provide a demonstration on his 3-D Printer and discuss our plans for an upcoming workshop.

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.
