We're always looking for new opportunities to facilitate projects/education in the space. New equipment can help us do that, so we decided to make a wishlist of some of the things that we need for the space.

If you have any items you would like to donate to our space, please contact donations@freesideatlanta.org with details to arrange the donation drop off.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Mural Art: Artists, pick a spot on the wall and make it yours! For large pieces, please give the directors a heads-up.
  • Classes: Teaching at Freeside raises money for the space, helps educate our community, and can put a little extra money in your pocket. You don't have to be a member or an expert to teach a class, you just have to have some basic skills and a plan to share them.
  • Projects: Volunteering your skills on projects (and Build-Outs) is a great way to meet people and help out. Check out our Meetup account for upcoming opportunities to jump on in.

Consumables

  • 105" bandsaw blades for the Delta
  • Resin for the 3D printer (Elegoo grey is a decent choice)
  • Paper towels and toilet paper
  • Ten-gallon trash can liners
  • White stoneware clay (cone six)
  • Various pottery glazes

Software

  • More CAD licenses and modules (Solidworks/Fusion/AutoCAD)
  • Windows 10/11 LTSC licenses (ideally 2021 or later)

Hardware

  • SSDs of reasonable size (256GB+ 2.5" drives would be great)
  • LCD monitors with HDMI (most of our current monitors only have VGA/DVI input)
  • Audio/lighting/DJ equipment
  • Human Interface Devices (decent mice, VR headsets and controllers...)
  • Modern Raspberry Pis and microcontrollers (We have lots of Arduino UNOs, but something more powerful would be great)
  • Working UPSes for various systems

Storage

  • Materials for an additional member storage rack (lots of 1" square steel tube and at least 3/4" plywood)
  • Other comparable shelving for member storage

Materials

  • Bar/tube/sheet steel for buildout projects
  • Lumber - 2x4" lengths and plywood sheets are always useful
