goes in hand with print making and silk screen, but for plastic or metal parts

I think it would open a lot of possibilities if we added castable wax resin to our FormLabs 3B supplies. For example, as a jeweler I do a lot of initial design work with 3D modeling and lost-wax casting. Make Haven doesn't have metal casting equipment, but there are lots of outside casting facilities that will accept shipped models. This sort of resin would enable Make Haven members to model directly for that purpose. It would also be well-paired with more basic wax-carving tools to add an entire new medium to MakeHaven's capabilities.

Roasting your own coffee gives you more control, is far cheaper, ensures freshness, and gives you access to a much wider range of beans! Though you can roast at home with a Whirlypop or other simple setup, having a programmable machine with heating elements, fans, and smoke control makes things much easier, more approachable for new users, and produces less of a mess.
A machine like this is probably overkill for any individual, but would be perfect for a shared kitchen space!

For assembling PCBs

A mortiser is a tool used to make mortises (square holes) in wood. https://www.toolnut.com/powermatic-1791264k-719t-mortiser-1hp-1ph-115-2…

To bend steel rule/flat bar/strip into complicated shapes difficult or impossible to make by other means (e.g., using shear-brake-roll machine). Makes cutting and debossing dies, e.g., to cut and stamp patterns in sheet metal, leather, paper, and other materials, on an arbor press.

Analog photography is totally rad and magical! Watching a print develop before your eyes never gets old. Let's have a space in Makehaven that affords members the ability to process their own black and white or color film and make prints using real photographic chemistry!

Things we'd need:

Enlargers
Safe lights
Easels
Trays
Tongs
Development tanks
Measuring vials
Chemistry
Paper
Running water

Details on full setup: https://github.com/andrewsuzuki/makehaven-framebuilding-setup

At the core of any bike framebuilding setup is a frame jig (technically a fixture, not a jig). Industry-standard frame jigs run at $3000-5000, but we can make our own for $500-600.

Creates channels, ridges, and flanges to stiffen and minimize vibration in sheet metal parts or even just to decorate them---think truck bed floors and auto body panels. Stiffening allows for thinner gauges to be used and cheaper lighter sheet metal parts to be made.

Minimum cost is $175 for handcranked Eastwood #32044 model, expandable with optional power unit (+$300, Eastwood #21111) and rolling die set (+$225, Eastwood #20267).
