Membership & Pricing

  • A membership gives you access to our workshops. However, a MakerSpace membership does not automatically entitle you to use the machines.

  • By purchasing a Card of ten, you receive access to both workshops for up to ten days. The Card of ten is valid for three years.

  • Day pass is primarily a technical term used in our access system. It is required so that your membership card can open the doors on the day of your visit. This is generally not relevant to regular members in their day-to-day use.

    With a Card of ten, the day passes correspond to your available access days. One day pass is used per day of attendance. You can see how many access days you have remaining in your User Account (Nexudus).

  • Your membership has a minimum term of 30 days and is then automatically renewed for one month at a time. If you would like to cancel, your cancellation must be submitted before the end of the current membership period. Otherwise, your membership will automatically renew.

    Example: If your membership starts on January 15, cancel before February 15 to end it on February 15. The easiest way to cancel is through the User Portal (Nexudus).

  • The easiest way is through your User Account in Nexudus. You can cancel your membership there in just a few clicks. Please note: Your account will remain active. If you would like us to delete your account, please contact us by email or through the Help Desk.

  • No, but you can cancel your membership at any time and start a new one at a later date.

  • You can add either a credit card or your PayPal account to your User Account (Nexudus). To pay by SEPA direct debit, please email us at rechnung@maker-space.de. Invoices can also be paid by bank transfer.

We provide protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection—ear defenders are available in limited quantities. During each course, you will learn which protective equipment is required for the relevant machine. Earplugs can be purchased from us.

You can develop prototypes, work on your own projects or simply try out new techniques—from individual components to complex products.

Courses

  • Machine courses are not included in the Maker, MakerPlus or 10-Day Pass memberships and must be booked separately. With a Maker membership, €25 is credited towards one course booking per month; with a MakerPlus membership, the monthly credit is €50. This course credit may be changed or discontinued at any time without prior notice. There is no entitlement to this benefit.

  • No, courses can also be booked without a membership. However, you will need a membership if you want to use the machines after completing the course.

  • You can cancel up to 24 hours before the course begins. The best option is to call us directly on +49 89 541 98 70 060 or send us a support message through your User Account (Nexudus).

  • Unfortunately, we cannot provide the course materials in digital form.

  • Course vouchers are not displayed in Nexudus, but they are automatically applied during the booking process. If the amount due at checkout is €0, you can be sure that the voucher has been applied correctly.

  • No prior knowledge is required for our beginner courses. They are designed so that you can get started without any previous experience. All participants begin at the same level, regardless of any prior knowledge or certificates they may have. For advanced courses, we recommend completing the basic course first. Please refer to the relevant course description for details.
