Announcing: Automation Station: One (DIY CNC night) July 20th at 7pm

[Sacha De'Angeli]

Hi everyone,

As many of you may have noticed, CNC tools have been gaining traction at PS1 over the past few months.

We have had the reprap build event, and now the hacked vinyl cutter, makerbot, PS1's own reprap, and the new Epilog have taken over half of the electronics work area.

To complete the takeover, PS1 will host a monthly Automation Station: One event where people are encouraged to bring their in-progress projects for building in a communal atmosphere and completed projects to show off. 

All CNC tools are welcome: additive, subtractive, mills, lasers, printers, frosters, plotters, and even egg-bots.  There will be an emphasis on open source hardware/software tools, but not exclusively so.

This event will be July 20th at 7pm at PS1 in the main room. Non-member CNC enthusiasts are welcome.

For future events, I'd love to have speakers, if you have suggestions please contact me directly.

Sasha,

 

Sounds great. Love to come. It says you have a Makerbot – I have a thingomatic up and running. Should I bring that or since you have something is it not worth it. Can you tell me more about the Epilog? I don’t see anything on the PS1 site about it.

 

-Doug

Feel free to bring your TOM with you.

The Epilog hasn't been announced yet (I probably shouldn't have mentioned it here, sorry), but you'll be able to see it if you show up next week.

Hi,
This event sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I'm not a PS:1
member, is there a charge?
I have a makerbot and a small CNC router I would love to bring.

Nope. Free of charge to participate, but if you decide to kick in a little cash, no one will complain.

Friends,

 

I will be there tonight but I can’t bring by Thing O Matic because of transportation conflicts. I’ll bring it another time. Looking forward to seeing folks and the new equipment.
