Join us this Saturday, August 29, at Historic Slater Mill for S.A.M. Fest!  Free for everyone and open both Saturday and Sunday, with music to enjoy, food trucks, artists, vendors, and a walkthrough of Slater Mill.

Pawtucket’s very own Ocean State Maker Mill will be there on Saturday!  Stop by our booth and say hi!  We’ll be chatting maker culture and makerspaces, and demonstrating 3D printing with a variety of printers.  A local event not to be missed!

Return of Moat Boat Paddle Battle!

We’re very excited to announce that the Moat Boat Paddle Battle is returning, this time at World Maker Faire New York!

If you missed all the fun and revelry at Maker Fare Bay Area, now is your chance to get in on the action, create and race a boat, and compete for some excellent prizes (3D printers provided by SeeMeCNC).

Check out the video of all the fun at Maker Faire Bay Area in May:

We’ve Been Busy!

Here at Ocean State Maker Mill, we may have been quiet online recently, but we’ve been busy bees offline!

Four of Ocean State Maker Mill’s finest have just returned from San Francisco after participating in Make: Magazine’s Annual Desktop Fabrication Shootout!  With the event led by our very own Matt Stultz (3D Printing and Digital Fabrication Lead for Make:), and joined by members Jason, Spencer and Kurt – OSMM represented 1/4 of the entire testing team.  Look for testing results and reviews in the November issue of Make: Magazine.

We’re gearing up for upcoming Maker Faires – and we’ll see you at both the Rhode Island Mini Maker Faire and World Maker Faire New York!

And last but not least, we’ve been cranking out an entire set of Instructables to share our individual skills with the world!  Stay tuned for increased Instructables updates!
