Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Looking for 3D printer help in Margam
Message-ID: <1494192378.24992.6.camel@discordia.org.uk>

We have had a request from a lady in Margam looking for someone to go
to her and help get the 3D Printer she has assembled working. It is an
i3 kit, which from the photos looks to have been fully assembled and
wired, but the lcd is not responsive and she has not been able to
reinstall the firmware.?

I have explained that this is not a service that we offer, explained
when our open evening is, and offered online help, but she really wants
someone to go there.

So if anyone is able to help get this i3 printer working, I can put you
in touch via facebook.

thanks

12v car tire pump compressor?

I would be interested in one, I've filled a 2 litre bottle to 100psi with no problems, sure these should be able to handle that?

Hopefully making some display shelving for non-refrigerated snacks this
evening. Fanta and Sprite will also be stocked today for the many
Coke-averse members. :)

That would be useful thanks Liz, assuming the current configuration is
being kept.
No idea what the decision is on that, my idea of "just have two fridges"
got shot down! I'm not married to the wooden shelves or anything so I'm
fine with switching it if people want.
Depends how important ice cream storage is to the hackspace... very, I'd
assume.

Hi all,

I've just submitted my latest project to instructables, its a lamp made
from a whiskey bottle and a table leg. I was hoping some of you would be
kind enough to take a look and vote for me in the two competitions its
entered in (orange vote button on the top right of the landing page)

Thanks

Hi everyone 

I am the STEM coordinator at a secondary school in Burry Port. As a school we are very keen to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) projects and introduce our pupils to wonderful opportunities that are out there involving STEM careers. We have been extremely successful in many of the competitions we enter; last year named Young Engineers school of the year, as well as taking part and indeed winning several national STEM competitions. You can see all the great work we do on our twitter page @glanymorStem Currently we have a team of three y8 pupils (aged 13/14) who have won through to the national finals of the TeenTech Awards http://www.teentech.com/teentech-awards/ with their idea for an app which builds on the scan and shop concept, to include a range of additional info. 

One of the core aims of TeenTech is that pupils link up with industry or technical mentors to develop their ideas and it would be great if amongst the Swansea Hackspace members there was someone who could support and mentor this young team. We have quite a tight deadline as we need to get their entry ready for the finals at the Royal Society in London on June 26th.

Hi Susan,
Not sure if you have had a response back for this yet.
I am a new member to hackspace and not sure whether I will have the skills
you are looking for particularly but have worked in I.T. for 35 years and
have a small software company but currently not produced any apps of the
sort the students may be thinking of.
Sadly my schedule is pretty busy, but perhaps you can let me know what sort
of input you are looking for?
Thanks

Shaun

Has anyone tried cutting acrylic tubes with the laser cutter? Also, could it handle thin (3mm) polycarbonate?

Personally I think the speed/accuracy improvements would be minimal
compared to just using the router by hand. Doubt it would get used much.

I was the one who suggested a plotter for the blackboard. Only got as far
as buying some liquid chalk markers so far. If anyone else wants to help
out with the design/build, that would be great.

depends on the diameter but i imagine a tube will be difficult, the
focal depth of the laser, the depth where the beam is strong enough to
cut, isnt very deep, maybe 10mm or so at most.

the metal grid plate that is in the cutter is positioned so that the
focal point is hopefully around 1-2mm above the surface, so that a 3-
4mm thick piece of material is right in the cutting zone.

if the tube is larger diameter than that then only part of it can be in
focus and cut at any time.

hope that helps you figure out the answer

>  Also, could it handle thin (3mm) polycarbonate? ??

internet says yes polycarbonate does cut with co2 lasers

Do you have a breakdown of specific problems that need solving, or
materials that you need ?

I'm sure there are plenty of people that will try to help if you can
focus the needs a little

I very much disagree Nathan. The accuracy you achieve is far more 
reliant on your personal skills. For me this machine would be marvelous.
You can design intricate patterns and produce unerring copies without 
much effort.

Do we actually have a router of the kind already?

It's a nice demonstration of the idea but I'd think if you spent the time it would take to build it and set it up on a bit of practice you could do anything this machine could do with a simple jigsaw and with much less set up and fuss (and a lot less cost).

 Also I'm not sure what the safety implications of dangling a 30000 rpm router like that would be, especially if anyone could use it unmonitored.

By all means ignore my opinion, if it would be useful to you then go for
it! Happy to help out. If you need multiple copies in plywood, and larger
than the CNC can do, it would be very handy. There's enough overlap with
the blackboard plotter that we could potentially build both in parallel.

For one-offs the vinly cutter can draw very accurate large scale templates
on the paper rolls we have. And we do have a handheld router, not used it
myself though.

I see the link for reserving the kit (for August/September delivery) is still active. I've been on their waiting list as I'm also really interested in this project, and they've sent an email to indicate that they may close the link any day now.

The kit is $350 + $70 international shipping = $420 (~?324). I wonder if we can get enough people to pitch in before they close the link?

I had left my hand held router int he space for general use, i don't
know if anyone else brought another one, i don't mind it being attached
to things and used, but i don't want to see it hacked up for parts.

How big is this build yourself cnc thing anyway? is there room to keep
and use such a thing? and will materials large enough fit in the lift
to get them there ?

Sorry Justin I didn't realise it was your router, thought it belonged to
the space. I wasn't suggesting we cannibalise it!

If it is any use I have a router in my junk pile at home. i assume its faulty as the previous owner cut off the plug though I have never tried testing it. the chassis looks sound though so you are welcome to cannibalise it to your hearts content. I also have a working electric motor I salvaged from an electric chainsaw which should be of a suitable wattage you are welcome to if the one in the router is burnt. its all just gathering dust anyway.

I had left my hand held router int he space for general use, i don't
know if anyone else brought another one, i don't mind it being attached
to things and used, but i don't want to see it hacked up for parts.

How big is this build yourself cnc thing anyway? is there room to keep
and use such a thing? and will materials large enough fit in the lift
to get them there ?

Reconsidering the amount of space that we have available, I have had to
reduce the number of tickets being offered for this course.

There are a couple left, but if you are planning to attend please book
now. I will be reminding people to cancel if they can't attend, so will
post on here again if more spaces become available.
