[Daniel Flaum]

This thread is to post stuff you want or need for a project.

Don't abuse it.  First time you do your out.

[Andrew Ricke]

Well since you made this topic:

This list for the Photobooth (still preliminary). 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvW9GTtySRsQdFdVZ0pJWDczNnRuY195ZTZieEhLNFE&usp=sharing

Either looking for this list as a donation or a good source with price/link. 

Thanks

I have a bike that was hit by a car that can be salvaged for chain and gears.

Last I saw there was some in the donation area, if it's all snatched
up I can give you some that I snagged for a project that's on hold at
the moment.

I found it thanks guys.

[nfolken]

I need window plastic to finish up insulating the west windows. I have a little, and I heard one of the Ryans has some, but anyone else who has any they would like to donate I'll take it!

[EschewObfuscation]

Enthusiast PC enclosures often have motherboard trays that can be removed without unscrewing the motherboard itself.

Some (usually older ones) even have the card guide assembly attached as part of that removable unit, so you can pull the motherboard and addin cards entire out the back. These usually have one or two screws visible from the back of the enclosure which once removed allow the whole assembly to be slid out.

If anyone should scrap a machine of this sort, I would very much like that removable mobo-plus-card mechanical assembly. (I'm not concerned whether a motherboard or cards are still attached or not.)

Thanks!

[Kamikaze Joe]

I MAY have a double-wide server case that it like this.  It's been a while since I've looked at it and it's too heavy (with the hardware contents) to move it myself.  Good news is it's in my car already.

Oh my! Well I'm in no hurry, but if it's riding around town with you, it sounds as if it needs to come out, if only to lighten your car. Does this mean I need to actually haul my own backside downtown at some time in the near future? :)

[Kamikaze Joe]

Sorry.  I took a closer look when I got home and it does not have the slide out motherboard tray you were asking about.

[EschewObfuscation]

Okay, no worries; as I said, no rush on this project. If the request has been posted, maybe someone else will remember it when they scrap one like that.

Thanks for checking!

Well I haven't attended any meetings yet but I plan on it. I'm looking for an analog oscilliscope though and if anyone has any advice on where I could pick one up in the city I'd appreciate it (just moved here from Baltimore).

There is at least one in the space that you can use.

[EschewObfuscation]

If your goal is to buy one to own as opposed to using one that's at the space, bear in mind a Rigol 1100 can be had for street price $400, very nice basic digital storage scope. Not that you necessarily want one of those, but that should inform what you're willing to pay for an older and less capable analog model. 

If you want a truly analog model, the last and best Tek scopes before (nonreplaceable) ASICs were the tek 453 and 454, each also in an a variant (nuvistors replaced by early, very fragile FETs). $100 will usually get you a good one on fleabay if you're willing to wait and watch a while.

[nfolken]

A while ago Ryan W brought up that we should have a dehumidifier going 24-7 in the shop to reduce rusting. I've kept an eye open for one on craigslist, but I figure I should post here in case anyone has a spare one they would like to donate with a hose attachment and that we could permanently mount somewhere out of the way. Chip in Ryan if there were additional requirements...

[Chris Weiss]

are we having a rust issue?

[Keith Rogers]

Regarding a dehumidifier..  those things are basically an AC unit that collects condensation. Running one 24/7 make for a pretty high electric bill.  I've had humidity problems in my basement and have had good luck with a product called fluid film.  It's not mostly solvent like WD40 and others.. seems to stop rust immediately and clings to exposed metal.

[EschewObfuscation]

Your point regarding 24/7 power consumption is valid, but I'd suggest that a humidity detector, working like a thermostat (and this would require autoclosing doors to the shop) might be the necessary elaboration.

While point defense by various protectants such as LPS3 etc can work, they require shop discipline, which we do not have. If we can't keep power tools in proper repair, can't keep tooling sharpened, can't even sort sockets and such, a regimen of ensuring vulnerable surfaces are coated with an essentially invisible film of something won't work.

So, plus-plus on dehumidifier, just needs a control circuit.

[Chris Weiss]

again, are we having an actual problem? I mean, the space is already
climate controlled...

[Ryan Williams]

I'd say that yes, there has been issue with rusting and moisture in the dirty shop, but mostly after the sinks were installed. It hasn't gotten worse though, though I've tried to take more precautions as well, such as throwing desiccants where moisture sensitive material is, such as welding rod, powder and tools.

FWIW, as we enter winter phase, and since the steamy gas heater has been obsoleted, we'll be seeing drier interior conditions. So that buys some time to address this issue.

[Chris Weiss]

far as I know the gas heater is still all there is.

[EschewObfuscation]

Oh. I thought someone's (yours?) old one had been put in service in the space. If the wall mounted heater goes into service again this winter, it'll dump a huge amount of combustion-product water into the space. I recall watching condensing water just pour off the windows. That would not be ideal.

[Chris Weiss]

nope, landlord rejected it.

[EschewObfuscation]

Oh. Rats.

[bti...@gmail.com]

First time posting in here so I'll keep it basic. I know of an non-profit animal shelter that needs a working desktop. I've got the LCD already so now I just need the parts. Depending on the reason, even non-working ones would work.
I'll also get on freecycle and craigslist.

[Chris Weiss]

I have P4 that has stability issues, I don't know if it's hardware or
"OS wants a re-install" related, I just replaced it with something
better. you're welcome to it. it has an XP Pro COA on it, but the
hard drive is not available with it.

[Tony Mueller]

I also have a P4 sony tower sitting in my basement. I need to give the hard drive a secure wipe or remove it entirely by request of the previous owner, but you're welcome to it otherwise.

[Brad Tissi]

Thanks to both of you. I would be happy to take them off your hands. I'm not sure what would be easiest, but if you can, just hide them somewhere in the storage shelves (not sure where's appropriate) with a note.

[Tony Mueller]

I'll be in Thursday for the Soldering class. I'll try to remember to dig it out of storage.

[Brad Tissi]

Does anyone have a PCI SATA card that I could use for this? All of my IDE drives seem to be producing errors now.

Thank you

Half of the track lighting is up, but it ended up using all of the lights we had. So, we need more lights. If anyone has any laying around, or knows of where we could get some cheap, please bring them in!

We will end up with a spare 4ft section, so you can grab that for testing. Last week I picked up a bunch of can lights from the Salvation Army ReStore for $1 each, so we might have enough now.

Wanted 15 Altoids tins, preferably all the same standard size. I found three of them in the donations area at AR and I have a few couple more at my house. Do we have a stash of them elsewhere? A local high school teacher would like them in order for her class to make pinhole cameras with. For simplicity's sake, it's best if they are all the same size. If you have any Altoids tins sitting around that can be donated to this project, please drop them off at the space on the counter near the front door before Sunday.

Upcycle exchange on south grand has a ton apparently. My fiancé is there often and has seen them. 

If you haven't been there, it's a craft store that is mostly pay want you want as it deals with mostly donated leftover or creative recycled art and craft supplies.

It's similar to this one, except not this one: http://www.amazon.com/West-Bend-82306-6-Quart-Electric/dp/B00004RC6R/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1396017654&sr=8-3&keywords=popcorn+popper

Looks like it's about the same size, so I'm going to guess 5-7 qts? We got it as a wedding present and never used it.

Working on the aquaponics and I am looking for plastic barrels. Food safe 55 gallon with lid and a 30 gallon with lid.

[Chris Weiss]

I have an extra 55, it's like the one at the space that's being used
for recycling. it had medical grade saline solution in it, though I
think it was actually in a plastic bag in the drum..

[Brad Tissi]

I use to be able to find small UPSs for either free after rebate or $10-15, but am striking out lately. Does anyone know where to get a relatively new UPS for cheap?

[ROB K]

That kind should be OK. I think the ones with lids are for dry chemicals and medical goods as long as the dry chemicals are not pesticides, fertilizers or Herbicides they should be good to use.

I ended up being busy yesterday and was not able to make it to the meeting.

[EschewObfuscation]

Does anyone have a bit of yellow, amber or orange transparent plastic? It could be flat like transparency sheet, a drinks bottle, any shape, as long as it's a yellowish color, reasonably transparent and expendable. A few square inches becomes a useful quantity, a transparency sheet would be luxuriously large. If it were solid, such as a piece of plexiglas, it could probably serve without being cut/damaged, and returned after. Goal is to make a tinted observation window for a miniproject.

I don't think that they would be out of place at all. Although a manufacturing environment may have a different take on additive manufacturing or weather balloons, the articles are still really interesting to anyone involved in those areas.

If you would like to claim a few of them for projects, let me know. Otherwise they will end up in the tools storage area of the shop. You'll have to find any nuts for them. 

They are long enough to hold two 2 x 4s together through the short sides.

Things that I've seen pop up that now I can use:

Server cabinet - full or half height, enclosed preferable, will depend on footprint

Food grade barrels to be used as rain barrels

[Brad Tissi]

All right, a box of magazines is sitting by the bookshelf and includes some combination of Backpacker, Mechanical Engineering, Skiing, FTF Magazine (geocaching), and maybe some Mining.

I probably have more at home that haven't been uncovered. Feel free to rummage/take what looks interesting to you.

If something looks particularly relevant to AR, please leave near the bookshelf.

Also, have the two rain barrels been claimed or are they still open for use?

Does anyone have access to a bit of aluminum bar stock, minimum 1 1/4 diameter, maybe an inch or two long? It's hardly enough to justify S&H on a mailorder, or gas cost of driving about town. Anyone's scrap bin have a likely candidate bit, maybe? Specific alloy doesn't matter, just looking for something easier to machine than steel.

One of the rain barrels in the shop have been claimed for use. I'm not sure who wanted the other one, but there could definitely be a use found for it. It'd make an awesome media blasting chamber.

1.25" Bar? I'll take a look but I don't think we have that size.

I've got some aluminum scrap but I rarely make it down to the space.  Shapiros has a bucket of larger bar stock cut-offs that may be ideal.  If you're into scrounging for weird things, they will sometimes throw in non metal items for free along with your metal purchase.

Yeah, I may have to bite the bullet, burn some gas, go poke about. Was hoping someone had a scrap, but I knew it'd be a long shot.

Just bought some bar stock that fits that description. Let me know if you need a piece off it.

Anyone have an old VCR (or is there one somewhere in the donate pile?)? Need the rotary transformer out of it to see if it'll work for a project.

There's a nice, big rotary piece from a VCR sitting on the electronic supplies shelf.
