Lost & Found Policy¶

Use the slips provided in MakerLab.

If we have run out of slips, you can print one from the PDFs here.

Leaving Items in the MakerLab¶

If you need to leave something in the MakerLab and the provided totes and bins do not fit your needs, you may do so temporarily. You must identify the object with a “Project Slip” (see below).

• The Project Slip must be filled out, clearly visible, and near the project. Physically attach the slip to the project if possible.
• Maximum Pickup Period:
  • 3D Print: 1 week
  • Other: 3 days
• Date Format: MM/DD/YYYY (e.g. March 14, 1592 → 03/14/1592)
