[AMTD] CNC router class?

infinite.perplex...@gmail.com (Glenn Wright) — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 06:41:10 UT

I don't see a CNC router class listed in the near future, though both I and
Lyra Levin would be interested in taking. Can we request one? I'm
wondering I could leverage the router to teach the Hacker Scouts how design
things algorithmically in Processing and then translate those designs into
real-world projects.

Re: [AMTD] Glass etching

hey Robb,

i'm no chemist but i've had some success doing this kind of glass etching:

using Armour Etch:

i wore gloves and worked in a well ventilated area and while, not being a chemist, i was generally unaware of any dangers involved it at least -seemed- safe enough.

Hi Marc, I'd certainly appreciate some advice on using the bits in the
drawer, as an amateur I don't know if I'm using them wrong or what. I'll
be by the space tomorrow night at around 7 or 8, maybe I can show you what
I've been cutting if you're around then?

Thanks,

Drew

[AMTD] Glass etching

dijji...@gmail.com (Robb Pope) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:40:19 UT

Hey guys (and girls)
I'm looking for a chemist or someone who's comfortable handling dangerous
chemicals. Specifically I need help using hydrofluoric acid to etch glass.
I can put up some cash for your time and buy the beer for after we get
down with the soul eating acid. Hit me up if you've got the mad skills!

Hi Aces,

The 8th quarterly Workshop Weekend is taking place in downtown Oakland this
weekend, and we're looking for volunteers to help check people in, give
directions, help connect laptops, and handle random issues as they come up.
(Most of the time will be relatively relaxed, and feel free to bring a book

Hi Dave R,

Thanks for the tips. I used 5 shells and that seemed to do the trick. It looks like my rocket is holding the pressure, but now the cap isn't so much. :( I need to mod my 3d model to include space for a rubber o-ring I think. It's difficult to get the shape precision right it seems. More engineering it is!

[AMTD] AMT Instructables Group

donov...@gmail.com (David Donovan) — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 21:52:19 UT

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to re-announce the AMT Group on Instructables.com for those of you that had troubles before. You should be able to go here:

[link]

and join the group now. The group is moderated, so you'll have to wait for an admin to add you. Once you are added to the group, then you can add your individual instructables to the group directly.

getting a ticket back to the bay. the RV is in good hands. its currently at
a mechanic shop in the area, and should return in the next week or so.

roman...@gmail.com (Stefan Hristu) — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 02:48:46 UT

Haven't had a chance to do this yet. We got a new toy mill and that kinda
diverted my efforts.

I'll get back to the printer at some point after the mill is completely
cnc'd.

Stefan
