Laser Cut and Engraved Dice Tray

Submitted by Bee Weingart on

Similar to the Laser Cut and Engraved Box project available elsewhere on this site, the Acrylic Dice Tray is an invaluable resource for tabletop and board game use--durable, highly customizable, and easy to make!
These instructions do assume basic proficiency with the Universal laser cutters, and general knowledge of the use of Inkscape for optional customization, but other than that this project is fairly straightforward, and is an ideal next project for those who have completed the laser cut box and want to branch out to new materials.

Remote monitoring of 3d printer area - Web version

Submitted by Krystian Michnicki on

Having live streaming of the 3d printer area will allow people to remotely monitor the progress of their prints, seeing if their jobs are complete or if issues occurred and stopped mid way. this can be important on longer running jobs. Additionally will allow people to see if equipment is being utilized without having to come in to the space.

IP cameras pointing at all pieces of equipment. WYZE Cam OG 1080p HD Wi-Fi Security Camera - can be of the area or of each printer (35 per printer or 4 to monitor area)

Adobe Creative Suit

Submitted by Joe Wilson on

Adobe's Creative Suit includes Photoshop (image editing,) Illustrator (vector editing,) Premier Pro (video editing,) After Effects (motion graphics and video effects,) Audition (audio editing,) Indesign (page layout and multipage document publishing,) and a bunch more. While free alternatives are available for many of these and are widely used at MakeHaven, there is something to be said for using "the industry standard" software which may be more feature rich and capable.

Fuseworks Craft Kiln (Small Glass Fusion Kiln)

GLASS SLUMPING: Add dimension to your fusing. Ceramic slumping molds allow you to shape the glass by bending (slumping or draping) over a form to make unique art, dishes, and more. Make sure to use 1/2" kiln posts to elevate your mold to let air flow above and below. Work in short intervals to prevent crack due to rapid heat. Start at 5 minutes then wait 30 seconds and repeat 2 more times, then proceed to 10 minutes or until piece is fully slumped.

Makerspace needs more space.

I realize that this isn't something that we can "buy" but I look at all the items on the wish list, everything from bar clamps to laser welding machines, and I think "where are we going to to put all this stuff?
My wish list is stuff like a lockers where we can put laptops and personal items while we're in the space working.

Green Sweep

Submitted by John Hatch on

GreenSweep is a sweeping compound that can be sprinkled on a dusty shop floor, (see metal shop), and will then allow the inhabitants to sweep the area without raising a ton of dust in the air. It doesn't have to be used every time, but then nobody seems to be sweeping with any regularity.
A 50 pound box costs about $30.
While we're at it, are there any good brooms around? Where?
