Zone updates
CNC Zone
- Haas is under going a few repairs, coolant pump motor and oil pressure switch, and is operational during this.
- The pallet changer base has been removed from the Haas table and it will be scrapped as no bites on selling it last 2 months. As a result of removing the base the flatness of the machine table is outstanding! Within 0.0005 inches overall.
- Looking for members to help with authorizing users and updating Wiki. See ZC Thad Johnson for details.
- Need to do a trial run with VCarve for wood router prior to getting super discount of VCarve Pro for Maker Spaces. See ZC Thad Johnson for details.
- Still getting a steady stream of members wanting to get authorized on both the Haas and the wood router.
Craft Room
- Sewing - serger is out for service, Diamond is back, SE is running, contact for embroidery training.
Electronics Lab
- Anyone interested in open-source FPGA toolchains, pop into #elab on Slack and let's talk!
- If you want to teach something electronics-related, do that too!
- Thank-you to everyone who uses the lab and leaves it clean and awesome.
Injection Molding
- Larger injection molding machine will be sold/scrapped due to lack of controls. Building the controls here has been discussed for several years with numerous members and while feasible, it is too time consuming to do it properly. We have access to a larger molder offsite, if needed, via a joint partnership with 3 current i3 members.
- Small molder is working fine and will be going back into production soon running Minecraft Figures and First Robotics Tank Treads.
- The second small molder will be taken out of i3 in the first half of this year as it is a joint member owned machine and will be run off site.
- The large injection mold that has been in the CNC Zone has been taken to a local molding shop to help with production supply.
Jewelry Zone
- Two-day bracelet/stone-setting workshop is coming up on Saturday, Feb. 9
Laser Zone
- Thanks to everyone who has been using and manitaining and not breaking Bumblebee.
- Tube for Wolverine is still in Customs Hell.
