Great news about the Fun Day, glad to see that there was lots of
interest.<br class="">
<br class="">
When in the space yesterday evening I swapped the cable on the
printer for one in the makey makey kits, recalibrated the z axis
with the bodged z endstop and replaced the kapton on the bed so I
could get it working if your careful. Still need a new cable and the
bracket reprinting but there is now less urgency about it.<br class="">

Hi everyone!
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Yesterday Eleri from TechHub and I represented
Swansea Hackspace at the Coastal Housing Tenant Fun Day at LC2:</div>
<div class=""><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://twitter.com/SwanseaHack/status/658974645706735617" class="">https://twitter.com/SwanseaHack/status/658974645706735617</a></div>

<div class="">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 ;)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We had a (Makey Makey) banana piano set up for the
kids: </div>

<div class="">Some more good feedback: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://twitter.com/Kirsty_Coastal/status/658988186358689793" class="">https://twitter.com/Kirsty_Coastal/status/658988186358689793</a></div>

<div class="">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.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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):</div>
<div class="">- 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</div>
<div class="">- 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?</div>

<div class="">Cheers,</div>
