Week 760 - Upcoming Workshops, Cord Maker

[Jackie Pease]

Each week we'll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you're involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here! The easiest way is to post on Mastodon - if we follow you there, just add #weeknotes to any post you want included. If you’re not on Mastodon but would like to be, chat to one of the organisers and we’ll help you get started. And of course, you can always just send us an email!

• Jackie Pease:Cord maker drill attachment printed on Christmas eve, for Twixmas (it's from https://www.printables.com/model/559853-cord-maker).
  It was fun to use but only lasted a few cords before jamming - on examination it looks like the edges of some of the cogs have degraded and melted.
  I'm going to try again with PETG instead of PLA, maybe 100% fill, and using the "optional" dry silicone lubricant.First photo shows the assembled attachment, second shows the damaged cogs with some twisted cords.
