[hackerspaces] Experience with Borrowing equipment/stuff?

[Chad Elish]

HackPGH has always shied away from that.

1. Because of the number of tools we have
2. Because some people forget to return them.
3. Because of Liability.

We’ve talked about finding a way to loan a 3d printer out but we still haven’t figured out the solution yet.

I don't think we would allow anyone to 'borrow' larger installed equipment like a laser cutter or CNC router.
