The Pikes Peak Makerspace Wiki
The Pikes Peak Makerspace Wiki was first launched in the middle of May 2015. Our wiki was first indexed by Google in November 2015.
It was taken down for a period of time, but fortunately in the middle of 2021 it was reestablished from backups.

AI generated content on this Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) Wiki will be labeled as such, to the extent possible.
Additionally, we are anticipating that AI “chat” interfaces for searching will become increasingly common, so we will be continually improving content here to stay current and remain useful to both members and non-members.
Our social media sites and communication materials may have individual procedures and goals at this time.
Tips
- Allowed file types that can be uploaded are the image formats PNG, GIF, JPG, and JPEG.
- The file type SVG can also be uploaded after an extension is installed.
