Natuurlijk, maar Microlab is wel gebouwd op samenwerking. Dus als jij het liefst met je gordijnen dicht in je eentje achter een computer zit, dan zijn wij waarschijnlijk niet de beste plek voor jou.

Nee. Heel veel ZZP’ers en start ups zijn Microlab members. Ook veel twee, drie en vierpersoonsbedrijven zijn gehuisvest in Microlab.

Waarschijnlijk niet. Onze grootste members hebben zo’n 50 werkplekken in Microlab, dus ze huren meerdere kantoorruimtes naast elkaar. Wij hebben ook veel corporate klanten die wereldwijd duizenden medewerkers hebben; vaak kiezen zij voor Microlab als regiokantoor met één of meer kantoren.

Microlab is zo groot dat we vrijwel altijd plek hebben voor jouw organisatie. We hebben een ruim aanbod aan flexkantoren, flexplekken, ateliers & werkplaatsen. Meer dan 200 bedrijven zijn gehuisvest in Microlab. Er is (bijna) altijd plek voor nog één!

Na het eerste contract van drie maanden heb je altijd een opzegtermijn van slechts een maand. Je kan alvast onze Algemene Voorwaarden doornemen, zodat je precies weet waar je aan toe bent.

Nee, het overgrote deel van onze klanten betaalt alleen de abonnementskosten en heeft daarbovenop geen kosten voor printen, internet, verwarming, elektra, schoonmaak of andere diensten. Als je heel specifieke ICT wensen hebt of regelmatig grote bijeenkomsten organiseert, moeten we daar losse afspraken over maken.

Certainly not! Microlab houses a broad selection of organisations, including freelancers, startups, corporates, multinationals, SME and non-profits.

Zeker niet! Microlab is juist een brede afspiegeling van het Eindhovense ondernemersklimaat, waaronder zzp’ers, startups, corporates, multinationals, MKB en stichtingen.

No, not personally. For incidental, small jobs, ask Chris, he’ll help you out. If you need it regularly for big jobs, contact sfh@servicepoint.nl who own our on site forklift.

Sure. Ring the bell at the gate, tell the receptionist who you are and why you’re there, the gate will open and you can use the docks. Please do not park at the loading docks too long, so other members can use them as well.

Not really, but you can contact our Service Point at sfh@servicepoint.nl they offer a warehousing service.

We have a deal with Paragon Service Point to handle all incoming and outgoing packages in our building, visit them or send an email to sfh@servicepoint.nl

Regular mail comes in through our front desk. Parcels and registered mail come in through the Service Point.

Please bring it to the shop, so the rightful owner has a chance to get it back.

Ask Chris, he might have found it, or someone might have brought it to him.

No. If you need a couple of screws every now and then, ask Chris, he’ll help you out. But in general all materials and parts should be provided by members themselves. Wood can be ordered at Jongeneel, Baars & Bloemhof etc. who deliver at our loading docks.

Please bring everything back as soon as possible, so other members have a chance to use them as well.

No, under no circumstance.

We charge extra for use of the CNC machine. We also expect a maker to have a basic set of hand tools and a screw machine. You can borrow ours incidentally, but this should not become a habit. Anything you use with our power tools that wears down (sanding pads,drills etc.) should be provided by you.

ou can use almost everything; our workrooms, our big machines, the power tools from our shop and, if it’s incidental, you can also use hand tools from the shop.

Yes, there’s one at reception and one at the Shop on the “Dirty Side”. You can hand them in there.

Yes, it should also be right next to the printer.

Yes, it should be right next to the printer. For boxes, you’ll find bigger waste paper containers down stairs. Please flatten boxes before you throw them in.

No, sorry, there’s not. If our printers need the toner replaced, please contact us by sending a WhatsApp message to 06 – 14609109. If you use your own printers and need to dispose of toner cartridges, please do so in an eco-friendly manner.

It does. Our printers can only be reached from a local IP address, which is not the case if you use a VPN.

Look in the printer’s bottom drawer, there should be extra paper there. If not, please send a WhatsApp message to 06 – 14609109.

That sucks! Please send an email to ict@microlab.nl and we will get in touch to try and help you out.

- Did you follow all the instructions in the installation manual to the letter?! Please don’t take shortcuts. 8 out 10 times that we are requested to help, all we had to do was follow the instructions accurately.
- If you are using a Mac you need to have the papercut app installed and running.
- Make sure you’re on the actual “Microlab” wifi network, not on the Microlab Guest network.
- Disable your VPN or proxy if you have any. You cannot print to our printers while you are on a VPN connection.
- Make sure you are using the name servers assigned by the Microlab network. If you set your own nameservers (to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4, for instance), printing will not work.

Send an email to ict@microlab.nl for a price list.

It might be. The speed of wifi depends on the usage throughout the building. Of course, we will strive to keep it as fast as possible. Fixed ethernet connections are 20/20 Mbs by default. If you need ethernet to be faster, send an email to ict@microlab.nl for options.

As a basis all our members get access to the Microlab wifi network. All offices also have a VLAN (per office) with a 20/20 Mbs internet connection. Support on ICT is on a best-effort basis and can be reached at ict@microlab.nl.

If you need any upgrades from this standard, please see contact ict@microlab.nl for a price list as the options depend on your membership type and where in the building you are.

Yes they are, but they are your full responsibility. Please keep them out of the wood workshop and other obvious places.

Perhaps you have reached the maximum number of members you can register? If so, you can remove people who are no longer part of your team to free up a slot. If this is possible, please send an e-mail to makers@microlab.nl we’ll help you out.

Yes. You can get them through Mobility-S. Take a look at their site https://www.mobility-s.nl

Basically when Microlab employees start recognizing recurring guests. People should not be using Microlab accomodations on a regular basis, without being a paying member.

Log in your my.microlab.nl page and click on “register a guest”.

Yes, they can. They can contact us at makers@microlab.nl and we’ll take it from there.

No, but you can book it right before using it, so this shouldn’t be a problem.

You can book a meeting room through my.microlab-eindhoven.nl or use the tablet next to a meeting room door. You can do this months in advance, or seconds before you use the room, as long as it has not been booked already.

Your Primary Member can log into my.microlab.nl/en/invoices and click the Enable (or Disable) Direct Debit button on the right. Just follow the instructions there.

You can send an email to makers@microlab.nl. Please keep in mind that this is a bit of work for us, so we charge €50 and it might take a couple of days.

No, the Primary Member is our point of contact for all administrative and financial matters.

Sure, just send a request to makers@microlab.nl

No, sorry.

Only with prior permission. Please send an email to makers@microlab.nl with a description of what you would like to do. Reasonable requests should not be a problem.

We find that in 9 out of a 10 cases, the printers can be installed by following the instructions you can find in: How do I install the printer?

If you followed those instructions carefully and it still does not work, please check the following:

Did you precisely follow the instructions in How do I install the printer? If not, please try again and follow every single step.
Are you connected to the Microlab WiFi network? You have to be connected to the Microlab WiFi network to print. (Note that Microlab Guest is not the same network.)
Do you have an active VPN or Remote Desktop connection? The Microlab printers will only work if you are connected directly to the Microlab network. In order to print, you will need to turn off any VPN you are running.
Did you manually set a DNS server? If so, the Microlab printers and meeting room presentation software will not work.
TIP: a quick way to test if the problem is either #2, 3 or 4 is to go to: http://darkblue5.microlab.nl. If that page loads, you are connected to the Microlab WiFi without a VPN and the printers should work. If that page does not load, you are either on the wrong network, are using a VPN or are somehow getting your DNS from somewhere other than our servers.

We have 5 steps for installing the printer.

Go to https://printserver.microlab.nl:9164/setup
Click download (don’t change the file name!)
Run the downloaded file and follow the instructions (Make sure you select “Microlab Shared Printers”)
Enter your print credentials
You are ready to print! (Select the right printer before you click print)
