From gwiondavies at LIVE.CO.UK Fri Oct 2 19:06:13 2015 From: gwiondavies at LIVE.CO.UK (Gwion Davies) Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 18:06:13 +0000 Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Urgent! - Briefing for Swansea Model Railway Show. Message-ID: Hi all, I?ve just come back from the initial setup at the National Waterfront Museum. I have managed to get us a great spot! So I will be arriving at the Techhub tomorrow morning at 8 to pick things up and making my way over to the NWM at around 9. I will need some help carrying over some of the things including a monitor and table as I found the table provided for us was far to small. The show will be open to the public between 11 and 4 both days and we will need to be out by 6 on Sunday. Parking will be available at LC2, it is ?7 and ?3.50 will be refunded to the museum if you bring your parking respite. Parking is free on Sunday. Any questions please don?t hesitate to ask, I will try my best to answer. Best, Gwion.

The bigger space is REALLY fantastic and it's looking like a really great makerspace now with all the storage and different stations setup for 3D Printing, Soldering, Sewing and textiles and the laser cutter / CNC room. It's also FAB to see a rich list of events in the calendar for everyone to enjoy too (don't forget RAGWORM night tomorrow ?) *BUT.....(you knew there would be one).* To keep the bigger space we need to increase members and income to the space (any ideas?). *Did you say you would run an event?* Is anyone else able to commit to run an event (instead of it ALWAYS being Justin) please? Justin is proposing a 'Build your own Robot' series of classes early next year - what else could we do? It would be good to *capitalise on the Christmas spirit* to entice new members and also tap into the '*New Year's Resolution*' to incentivise people to pick up new skills - and where better than our Hackspace!! :-) *DON'T BE SHY - Any ideas or suggestions on how we can attract more members and promote our HACKSPACE then please reply here...

Yesterday Eleri from TechHub and I represented Swansea Hackspace at the Coastal Housing Tenant Fun Day at LC2: https://twitter.com/SwanseaHack/status/658974645706735617 There was a lot of interest, from little kids being amazed by the 3D printer to members of the public (and Coastal employees) getting excited about the possibilities of a hackspace. There was a photographer too, so there may even be photos in the newspaper ;) We had a (Makey Makey) banana piano set up for the kids: - https://twitter.com/TechHubSwansea/status/658967724429877248 - https://twitter.com/TechHubSwansea/status/659048556221870080 Some more good feedback: https://twitter.com/Kirsty_Coastal/status/658988186358689793 I started off by printing some whistles, but once the kids figured out that you can make ?almost anything?, requests flooded in and a mini-football, mini-pig, mini-pikachu and mini-flower got printed as well. Unfortunately the a couple of things went wrong with the 3D printer (I didn?t want to move it from the space, but my alternatives didn?t work out): - The bracket for the z-axis stop switch broke (it was cracked, but moving the printer didn?t help) - I temporarily fixed it with some blue tack, but we?ll need to print a new bracket - The orientation of the new Rumba board caused the USB cable connector to weaken, which halted prints every time the table got bumped - does anyone have a spare USB cable with mini-B connector?

There are several parts on that printer that are showing signs of cracks, i think we should look at printing a set of replacements for them in the near future, before something more critical snaps.

Those lockers are approx 300mm wide which seems to be the only size readily available. they are the deeper 450mm type. and the height will depend on how much of a locker your willing to pay for. a quick check with the supplier says : the 1/4 lockers were ?30 each a 1/3 locker would be ?35 a 1/2 locker would be ?50 a full locker would be ?85 If you know of a source of wider lockers do let me know. there just isnt the budget right now to invest in lockers and hope to get it back someday so we need to find enough people to fill a stack before we can buy one of that size. > PS dropped off a Unicol stand for the big screen TV, it has a plate on > it that may take a telly, if not a simple hanging rail will bolt on > across the top easily.

Hopefully we can sort things out on monday, i'm sure one of the younger/bendier chaps will be happy to swap with you, i think gerrit said he would. If it is too small for you then someone will buy it off you, i had been thinking of having one myself, and i'm sure there are others. Although i too would not be able to reach the bottom one.

I could also offer to run it at the new Swansea & > District Amateur Radio Society as well if it goes well at Carmarthen. There are currently no made up kits, they all sold at the time. If you want to diy then the list of parts is on the website : http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/TakeOut/Arduino I still have piles of some of the components, as they were cheapest bought in bulk, the rest i would have to buy in specially. Happy to combine orders with you. Are any hackspacers interested in buying kits ? Do people want anything new from a kit, maybe an ESP8266 based one ?

Subject: Re: [Swansea Hackspace] Lockers + Unicol TV stand
hopefully the first set of lockers is now paid for :-) the depth was wonderful, all of that is moot as there is no way I can reach a locker that low with my condition so i will just pass for now. Thanks though - you have my money, I don't want it back. regards Emyr On 29 October 2015 at 11:26, Justin Mitchell < justin at swansea.hackspace.org.uk> wrote: > On Thu, 2015-10-29 at 09:23 +0000, Emyr Morris wrote: > > Blimey those lockers are small.
