Week 779 - Printer Fun, Hawaii, LIDAR

[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!

DoES Salon - Inside Liverpool's Air

This Wednesday evening, Arkin Cisneros and Tunde Adekola will share the journey of their air quality monitoring projects with Aeternum Innovations, from its earliest sensor deployment across Liverpool to the latest generation of smarter, more capable devices and exploring what the data has revealed about the impact of major events on the city's atmosphere. More details here.

eufyMake Printing Fun

Here are some photos from our first 2 sessions showing people how to use the eufyMake UV texture printer. Lots of great ideas. We'll be running more events soon, so keep an eye on our socials (and weeknotes).

If anyone would like to run a session, or knows a group who might be interested in learning about the printer (ideas from Saturday included wargaming, dolls' houses, model railways ...), then please get in touch with Mike or Jackie.
