The Maker Mobile is a makerspace on wheels. Most of the equipment that can be found in a makerspace, can be carried directly to schools, libraries and even birthday parties.  The Epilog Zing is one of the equipment that is carried on the Maker Mobile making it a portable machine. Apart from the laser cutter itself, there are other components that are required for its smooth operation. The elements are shown in the picture.

*Air Filter: The filter should always be attached while performing a cut, the laser cutter is not to be used without the filter, this ensures that the air in the room is safe for users and limits potentially hazardous debris.

*Air Compressor (compressed air): A steady flow of air to blow smoke and cutting residue away from the beam path and optics of a laser cutter. It's simple, but critical; without it, smoke can obscure and reflect the laser beam, foul lenses and mirrors, and severely degrade cut quality.[[File:Air Compressor.jpg|thumb|Air Compressor|link=Special:FilePath/Air_Compressor.jpg]]
