To organise any kind of workshop or craft session just take a look at the upcoming meetings list, pick a day thats not already been claimed and let me know, i will make sure it gets listed and advertised. It's that simple. If you, that is any of you in our growing band of members out there, ever find yourself thinking that you wish more people knew about this neat thing you have discovered or learned, please do consider sharing it via a workshop.? Running a workshop does not require presentations and handouts, it can be as low key and informal as you like. Some of the most fun workshops have started with "I have a pile of these $foo, I have figured out how to do $this so far, lets see what else we can find" From tim at swansea.hackspace.org.uk Fri Feb 24 14:48:53 2017 From: tim at swansea.hackspace.org.uk (Tim Clark) Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 14:48:53 +0000 Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] [Announce] Pancake Day Event Message-ID: <61139d67-b1e1-c7d9-5004-0f313d84e79f@swansea.hackspace.org.uk> Tuesday (28th) is pancake day, we will provide the pancakes, bring your own toppings and fillings. ?1 on the door.

I don't want to tread on anyone's toes because someone else offered to do it at the AGM, but if it hasn't been done yet I MAY be able to get it done quickly. I am working on something part of it could use the printer and I need it fairly quickly as I have a deadline and I would prefer it not to be running too hot,I also have to run a piece of equipment with a camera for at least an hour to test battery and memory usage and the space might be the ideal place to do it. My first step is to experiment with a sewing machine, which I have used before, to see if my idea is feasible using my skills and to improve them anyway so I intend to do this quickly as I will need to order the proper materials. So what I am saying is that I am offering to do is take those measurements if I can and let people know when I have done them. That is if the work hasn't been done yet.

I am going to try to get my early experiments done this weekend and If I can't I may not have the time until later in the week and there are some restrictions on my time anyway.

Sorry for the delay in response, someone else said they were going to respond. I did the calibration and rebuilt the control software last night, so our reprap printer is now safe to use. You may need to do some experimentation to find the ideal temperature for your chosen filament, but the temperature will now be accurate, and so should match the guidelines you find online.

Sorry for the delay in response, someone else said they were going to respond. I did the calibration and rebuilt the control software last night, so our reprap printer is now safe to use.
