Message-ID: <1464883275.15922.6.camel@swansea.hackspace.org.uk>

With the robot workshops done and dusted, and negotiations to move
seemingly taking forever, its about time we had some more workshops.

Could everyone please post their ideas and requests for skill-share
workshops.

These can be old ones you'd like to see again, suggestions for new ones,
or some skill you would like to share with others. It doesn't have to be
a topic we have covered before, it can be pretty much anything that we
have the space and facilities to do.

If you can all try to post something then we will pick out the most
popular/interesting ideas and get them scheduled.

thanks

Personally I'd love a 'non-microcontroller electronics' workshop. I'm fine
with digital stuff but have huge gaps in my understanding when it comes to
discrete circuits. We could have some theory and a bit of breadboarding
over a few sessions.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for opening this up.

Since joining Hackspace I have been able to build a 3D printer and have
just flown my first self-built quadcopter (not complete yet).

Thank you to the space and members for helping me make these things happen.

I would personally like to see a workshop on jewellery making, chains,
enamelling, wire work, etc.

I would also be interested in how many people are looking at monetising
their interests in making and whether we could run a workshop on how to
achieve it.

Thanks for all the effort and for making the Hackspace possible.

Many thanks,

Richard

Message-ID: <CANSRvvABHNrB59ZbcCxroiTFeD0gnQ9yU3QGoXJngr06X3AFSw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,
I built my Prusa i3 kit (not bought from Prusa) in 2014 and Prusa has now
released an upgrade to give a bigger bed and self- levelling. See here -
http://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printer-parts/106-original-prusa-i3-plus-to-mk2-upgrade-kit.html

I built mine with a Ramps 1.3 board. The upgrade requires a Rambo-mini 1.3
board I believe.

I can't find a reasonable one of these boards in the UK and to get one from
USA is pricey. Anyone got any ideas on how best to source this kit please?

Many thanks as always for all your help,

Richard

Banggood.com is where i usually get almost all of my 3D printer parts.
Technobotsonline.co.uk for Bairings

Ramps should still be ok.
Will have a look ..

Message-ID: <1466505365.30537.8.camel@justin.llw.rokcorp.com>

Just a quick status update for all those that don't regularly make it to
the monday night socials.

It looks like we will be staying where we are for the moment, as all of
the properties we were looking at have fallen through for one reason or
another.

We now have a working door buzzer again, we have the top button on each
panel, there should be hackspace logos on it, at least until they fall
off again.

We can now order more keyfobs. Any member that does not currently have a
fob, and would like to get 24hr access to the space, please email me so
i can put together an order. Issuing a new fob costs ?15

Any ideas on ways to improve the current space and make the most of what
we have are gratefully received.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] [Announce] Wirework Jewellery Making Workshop
Message-ID: <1466957725.26274.11.camel@swansea.hackspace.org.uk>

When: 1-3pm Saturday 16th July 
What: Wirework Jewellery Making Workshop 
Who: Members and their guests. ?3 per head
Img: http://imgur.com/PI7lrTF

This will be a workshop in the basic techniques for constructing
jewellery using wire and beads. We will cover the tools and equipment
you need, how to shape and form the wire, how to combine different types
of beads to make for example earrings, necklaces and bracelets. The
various types of wire will be provided, along with a selection of beads
in various materials from glass and plastic through to semi precious
stones.

You will require a pair of Round Nose pliers to work with, also a pair
of Chain Nose jewellery (ie without serrated grip) pliers is
recommended. plus wire snips are useful, flush cut ones for preference.
 
These can be bought online easily, also from local crafting stores
(e.g. Hobbycraft, The Range, etc). We suggest this set for ?4.99 or any
similar: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm//311405311604

You are welcome to bring children, we have a range of beads and
threading materials so that even the younger ones can make their own
bracelets, whilst older children are welcome to try the wire techniques
with the adults.

Hi Justin,
Does the pliers set you reference include the Chain Nose Pliers?

Or do I need to also get one of these? -

Looks like the names vary, some call them snipe nose, others call the
chain nose.

in the original link, showing 5 items in a spread, its the right most
ones i was referring to. the outside is rounded and tapered, the inside
is flat.

As a bonus, if you have that set, then the right most and left most
pliers are the pair i use most when doing chainmaille jewellery, which i
am sure to run as a workshop in the coming months.

The ones you absolutely require for this workshop are the ones in the
centre of the picture, that are two tapered cones.

Great news - I've bought 3 sets and am hoping my purchase of them will be
enough to ensure Andr?a and Max come along too :-)
