We'll be organizing items and materials in the space roughly along the categories listed below. As we sort items, we'll be doing our best to establish ownership, tag it, and enter it into the website inventory system. Our end goal is to have an obvious and documented location for every item in the space, for every item in the space to be tagged, and for it to be tagged with owner and usage info.

MakeHaven Facade Facelift

We will need a party of folks to scrape, repair, and paint the front facade.  This project is very important as it's a condition to a possible donation/investment into the space by an outside party.  We need the membership to coalesce (word of the day :P ) in order to meet this goal fairly quickly. 

 

self assembling, computationally evolving robots

The goal of this project is to create relatively simple units that can come together on their own and "evolve" there mechanisms for assembly and function.

 

I am aiming to get this project to a working initial prototype by june 27th according to the following schedule.

-Week 1(this week) assembly mechanism

                  - print several 3d models to identify a simple and reliable mechanism by which parts can find each other and come together using arranged mangetic force.

 

-Week 2 mechanical function, electronics

I'm making this project as a place for people to add comments and suggestions regarding building in a lab space in the basement. The room in question is the old basement kitchen and the connected room with two sinks.

The Colonizer (Yeast)

It's time to build a fully automated brewing system at MakeHaven.

This is a really fun project, needing a variety of contribution; design, metal working / welding, chemistry, electronics, software development, and cost-saving creative thinking.  There are countless approaches to building automated home brewing solutions.  From 5 gallon, single vessel, dishwasher sized solutions, to 20 gallon, three vessel builds.

We are aiming for the more ambitious of options, because why not.

Robotic Arm Party Machine

We have that industrial robotic arm in the space that appears to be functional.  After a quick tear down we determined it has DC motors and optical position encoders.  We got the thing spinning with a DC supply within a few minutes.  The original controller is missing (good!) so the project would be to build a new custom controller and make this thing dance, pour beer, etc.  It should be a good project for anyone who interested in some basic electonics, microcontroller programming and robotics.

RotoMold Machine

Hey Guys,

I am deadset on building a rotomold machine at makehaven. 

Rotomolds can be used for molding rubber duckies and other vinyl toys.

See attached specs: http://www.solsylva.com/cnc/rotomolder.shtml

Seems very simple and looks like we can make some of the gears on the 3D Printer.
