Week 730 - Bike LEDs, Space Hacking, Carbs

[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!

Liverpool MakeFest - Saturday 5th July

Only a month to go until this year’s Liverpool Makefest! DoES Liverpool will be taking part as usual so please get in touch if you want to display your stuff on our stand or want to help out (Github issue here that you can add your details to).

Things of Note

• MCQN Ltd:It's not 3D-printed, but @amcewen finally got his bike fitted out with a My Bike's Got LED kit.Anyone would think we've got an event to go to later in the week.#OHS2025 #ibal234 #weeknotes #BikeTooter #WLED #ESP32 #MyRibble
• Adrian McEwen:So it begins. At Lime St station in #Liverpool. Next stop Glasgow, then cycling the canal to Edinburgh #OHS2025Think I'm visible enough? 🤣#BikeTooter #WLED #CarryShitOlympics #weeknotes
• Adrian McEwen:It's the @DoESLiverpool hack-the-space day, and I'm looking forward to closing *checks notes* an eleven year old issue.Less excited about the shortfall in our finances that's pushed it to the top of my priority list 😕#weeknotes #makerspace #Liverpool

Sunday 08 June, 2:00pm-5:00pm	Plastic Tactics In a world with mountains of plastic and molehills of play, let's get our spades out and shift the balance. Make new things from abandoned plastic with us. Plantpots, purses ... pedalos? Shred plastic. Blend it. Meld scraps together with a heat gun. Make sheets. Laser cut it. CNC it. Stitch potato bags together with soldering iron? Make fabrics with a regular iron? What have we got, what can we make? We don't know - let's figure it out! Two rules: 1. No Objectives - this is an aimless and wandering session. 2. Bring Your Own Initiative - this is an active session and we'll help you get creative. Every two weeks on a Sunday afternoon, between 2pm and 5pm. Facilitated by Plastic Tactics - follow on social for the latest updates, and to see what we make if you can't be here in person: http://instagram.com/plastacs http://twitter.com/plastacs http://facebook.com/plastictacticsliverpool
