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!
Please help us spread the word! If you, or any of your friends, could do with a Boost to get a new idea off the ground (or even just to keep going…), then take a look at our Boost scheme – 6 months free desk or workshop membership here at DoES Liverpool, conveniently
situated near the centre of the city. Join our innovative community!
It’s a draw so everyone has an equal chance. Applications are open until 11:59pm on Sunday 30th November 2025.
Things of Note
- MCQN Ltd:Packaging, code on prototypes and tidying up products - the latest @MCQN_Ltd #weeknotes
-
Jackie Pease:I like this contour fill - one of the inbuilt options in
#inkstitch. Machine embroidery on
Peloton Liverpool jackets, using Fred, the @DoESLiverpool embroidery machine (I was going to use the default fill, but it didn't work well on the wheels).
#WeekNotes
- Adrian McEwen:A productive afternoon's work. I've got a new board added to the CH32 Arduino platform, so can now run blink on the @MCQN_Ltd Hexanoodle board (with its CH32V203F8 chip) 🚨

Adrian McEwen:Back on the
@MCQN_Ltd My Bike's Got LED packaging kick for this
#FreeCADFriday
I'd done a bit more work on it on Monday too and tried cutting it out. That wasn't too bad, but the tabs to hold the panel with the PCB on didn't keep it in place.So today I reworked that bit to have the side panels to hold the battery hook over the PCB panel. That holds things much better.

DoES Liverpool:Robot Vacuum cleaner fixed by Mike G at today's Repair Café.
Mike 3D printed a replacement part for the brush which meant that it stopped rattling.
