Consumables
Consumables are common useful items, materials, and other supplies that hackspace aims to keep in stock for everyone's convenience.
Consumables are for the reasonable light use of all members in their projects. If you are using a large proportion of our stock of any item, you should consider buying it it yourself rather than depleting the Hackspace's communal supply. Common janitorial, maintenance, and PPE items are also classed as consumables.
If you spot that we are getting low on a consumable item, you can replenish it yourself and Hackspace will refund you for the cost. To get a refund, send a copy of the receipt to the treasurer.
Any overstock of consumables are stored in the consumables cabinet in the corridor. Please check here before buying more.
Suppliers: In general, Amazon/Ebay/Aliexpress are to be avoided as their quality is unreliable. Standard industrial suppliers such as RS, Screwfix, Toolstation are preferrable, but any other suitable suppliers can be used
List maintained by committee member for supplies (currently Alex R), contact him on the forum to suggest updates.
