Hey, Hackerspaces! Win a Free LulzBot 3D Printer!

Aleph Objects, Inc., manufacturers of the LulzBot line of 3D printers, is now hosting its Fourth Annual LulzBot Hackerspace Giveaway.  This means that eligible hackerspaces around the world will be able to get their hands on a free 3D printer.

If you were one of those lucky winners from previous contests, you’re still eligible to win once again.  The giveaway does have some criteria for who can win these precious printers.

To qualify, LulzBot has outlined that hackerspaces must meet the following guidelines:

  • “Own a community-operated physical space,
  • Maintain a website/wiki,
  • Offer a basic set of tools and equipment,
  • Believe in sharing resources and knowledge to build and make things, and
  • Use and contribute to Free Software and Open Source Hardware projects and communities.”

If your space meets the above criteria, all you have to do is fill out a simple form on the LulzBot Giveaway page and submit by Sunday, March 1, 2015, 11:59 PM Mountain Standard Time.
