Dear fediverse,

what is the best resource of do's and dont's for setting up a #repaircafe ?

I guess not what I do with my own repairs : 40 boxes with half broken stuff from other people, waiting to find that single crucial part, schematic, or plans to fix it with a 3d printed part (to be designed and printed), actually converting my place in a #dumpsterdive without divers.

Neither desoldering all weird parts because weird parts are difficult to get...

Telford #RepairCafe moves around venues in the broader Telford area, and it was at Sutton Hill's "Hub on the Hill" today, 10AM to 2PM. I had a decent success rate today - 3 out of 3 repairs were successful: A slow cooker with the crock stuck in the body - a right pain to get it out, but persistence and a bit of lateral thinking overcame; a laptop that wouldn't stay on - turned out that the screws holding one of the screen hinges on had all worked loose, which was resulting in the screen cable being pulled out of its socket; and an anklet that needed putting back together, requiring a tiny dot of epoxy glue. Overall, we had about 10 repairers and looked at about 30 items. We were joined by a new repairer, who has previously brought items to be fixed, and also visited by a lovely young lad of about 6 years old, who went round (with his dad, who brought in the aforementioned laptop) asking the repairers about things they were repairing, and how they were working out what was wrong, and how they were doing repairs.

Any ideas for three month old Oupes Mega 1 powerbank that does not turn off?

I already contacted customer service. Apparently the accepted practice is to toss them and send the customer a replacement.

This is unacceptable for multiple reasons that are in no way limited to my personal tmi situation.

Thank you for your time.

Repair Cafe Barry

This 66 year old teddy was brought in to us missing a leg and looking very well loved.

The owner has had it since she was a child and it's been sewn up many times by her and her nanny over the years.

Fortunately Ann worked her magic and reattached the leg, so here's to 66 more years of love 🧸️.

A woman with light skin tone and some light grey hair peeking out from a fluffy brown hat. She is wearing a brown cardigan and holding a medium sized brown teddy bear which looks very well loved and holding one of the legs separately as it has detached. She is smiling.

Must say there is something beautiful and healing about seeing a bunch of strangers in a #repairCafe helping each other fix their rice cookers, format their laptops, sew their teddy bears, patch up their clothes, figure out ways to solve problems with what they've got right there and each other.

Highly recommended activity to restore faith in ordinary people when we see so much cruelty from the top.

I also learned that there are #repairCafe events all over the country, visit one and get someone to help you fix your broken thing.
Or go and help fix broken things, if you have the skills.
Or just hang out with them.

Here is their calendar.

I went to a #repairCafe today and got my ebike charger fixed for at least another 4 years of daily usage (I hope). 🚲 ⚡

Repairing things is good for the earth, for our pockets and for society in general.
The NZ Parliament is looking at a bill about this. 🔧

Please make a submission so repairing becomes the standard and we keep things out of the landfill for as long as possible.

Deadline is April 3rd.

Repair Network AoteaRight to Repair Bill | Repair Network AotearoaAotearoa has an exciting opportunity to make it easier for us all to get our stuff repaired when it breaks. We need your help to turn this opportunity into reality.

📢 **Aufruf zur "Allianz der Willigen" – Für echte Reparaturkultur!**

Mir reicht es! Zu oft wird in Repair Cafés nur herumprobiert, statt nachhaltig repariert. Freiwilligkeit darf keine Ausrede für mangelnde Qualität sein!

Ich suche Gleichgesinnte, die **Reparieren statt Wegwerfen** ernst nehmen und aktiv für das **Recht auf Reparatur** eintreten. Wer ist dabei? ♻️💪
