Arch Reactor has new, larger laser!
AR's New Laser
In many ways the new laser is much like the original. The materials it will cut are the same, the laser software is the same, and preparing images is the same. The main differences are the "on switches", the size, and the focus.
The Laser Guide has been updated with some of the new information. Check it out here: https://archreactor.org/project/laser-cutter-guide

Super Bowl of Destruction
Everyone is invited to come to the Arch Reactor for the Super Bowl of Destruction. We will have the football game on our big screen for everyone to watch. Not interested in football? Don’t worry, we also throw this party as something for the non-football enthusiasts. As a hackerspace, we use this time to breakdown all of the donations that are no longer usable or fixable. We have hard drives, computers, printers, server equipment, and more! Come join the mayhem and destruction! Bring a Super Bowl snack to share. We had some great food last year.
Destruction starts at 4pm on Sunday, February 2nd at Arch Reactor, 2215 Scott Ave. 63103.

About Our Hackerspace
Arch Reactor was founded in 2009 by a group of friends who liked technology, programming, making, and pizza. Now St. Louis' largest hackerspace, Arch Reactor's growing membership continues to bring new skills, projects, equipment, and people to one place.
For a deeper understanding of what we're about, you should check out our explanation of hackerspaces, perhaps read about one of our members' projects, or (best of all) come meet us in person at the next open event!
