How to Reserve Time on Tools at MakerFX

Getting Setup

• Click Register for a Makerfx.org Wordpress account - this account will be used to reserve time on tools
• Your account will need to be promoted to Member level in order to reserve time on tools. Once you've created the account, use Slack to tag @ian (for now, will work to get more people trained) - Send a PM with your new wordpress user name and ask to be upgraded to member status so you can reserve tools.

Getting to the Reservation Form

• If you are NOT logged in, visit makerfx.org/reslogin which will prompt you to login and then drop you off on the reservation page.
• If you are already logged in, visit makerfx.org/reservation

Making a Tool (Resource) Reservation

There are several sections to the reservation page that are noted below:

• Upcoming Events - This section on the top right gives you a quick look at upcoming events that might impact your tool scheduling.
• Resource Calendars - If you want to know when a specific tool is open, these links take you to interactive calendars for each tool.
• Reserve Resource Time - This is the reservation SEARCH section, which will be explained more below.

To SEARCH for an upcoming time on a tool (or group of tools), first Select the category - this includes types of work like Laser, 3D Printing, CNC Routing, etc.
