Experimental Musical Instrument Workshop Part I
The Experimental Musical Instrument Workshop is a series (2-3) of workshops designed to:
Labeling Madness!!!1!
Following work on Friday I (Your Documentation Dictator Scott Petersen) will be getting beer, going to the space, and ordering pizza. While consuming these delicious and life-sustaining substances I will be feverishly labelling everything in sight. You are welcome and encouraged to join me. Following the labelling, we can all head out "on the town" to continue celebrating those things most dear to us: beer, pizza, and labelling (oh, and our friends and fellow makers!)
All the 3d printing possiblities
Please excuse the video quality but the following is a recording of a presentation about many applications of 3d printing. The presentation was done by Ken Lovell, Associate Technical Director of Yale’s Digital Media Center for the Arts.
3d Printable Circuit Board Mill
I just stumbled across this project on the hack-a-day site and remembered that there were a few members who have asked about something like this in the past, so I figured I post this just to see if there is any interest in building one of these, and who would be there to help with the project...
Microprocessor Monday
Join other interested in microprocessors and electronics. We will do brief introductions and brainstorm projects before breaking out to do group work and learning. Will likely chip in on a pizza.
Bring your electronic kits/toys/tools.
All skill levels welcome.
3d Printing Problems on the Replicator 2's
Was finally able to complete a print of the infamous shift knob this AM. Used Adam vice Eve this time and tried something completely different. I mounted the (white) filament on Eve and strung it across to Adam. It was much easier to monitor the slack and several times detected overwraps that would have not have been seen behnd the machine. I suspect that even minor tension on the filament will cause the type of problems I have been having. A good solution might be to mount the reels on the wall where they can be better observed and controlled. You definitely can't walk away and hope
HERMS Progress
Hey MakeHaven,
Just wanted to let everyone know we have several updates to the HERMS project page. Have a look to get up to speed.

We're still refining the process, but we're also making beer. I was considering scheduling a brew day to introduce people to the project, and get them some time using the machine.
We are also working on several projects stemming from this one which are really interesting.
1. We want to build a temperature controller which can take a schedule. I already have all the parts for
Remote Control Car build
I'm forming a small project team to customize a remote control car.
Specifically, I propose we design a car from chassis up and fabricate much of it using the makerbots and laser cutters. I'd like to recruit someone(s) with electronics expertise to help with custom circuitry.
These cars are really cool. I've built a 1/18 scale electric that hit 60. We could exceed that, if the team is determined.
Perfect "vehicle" to learn more about Inventor and the makerbots. I'm thinking weekly meetings, but I'm open to ideas. I'm also flexible on project goals.
