Find out why the CNC can’t be fixed. Maybe have a metal shop meeting?

New Business

• Questions around woodworking inside. Andre will get to the bottom of it. 

Station Reports

• 3d Printers - Spidey and Strange are both down for different problems. Ouch has the AMS 4-filament handler now. No issues with the workstation. Dragon has chronic problems we don’t understand yet. Needs some maintenance - will be done soon.

• Display windows - They’re still there! Some of the smaller Lego pieces might be going back in the bins. Keep the tower up. Also we can add levels to it (carefully!) We have a beautiful LED robot almost ready to put up. 

• Wood shop - It’s chugging along, people are using it. 

• Laser - They work! They are reasonably clean. Ventilation on the 60W was not ideal on Sunday because there was a large piece of wood. If you’ve seen a knight post to the mailing list please.

• Metal shop - We’re trying to get metal casting in HSL. Tuesday night we melted aluminum cans. Please crush your cans!

• Sewing - going well. Expanding out and organizing.

• Vinyl - 

• Electronics - Smith has been at it! Go Smith! The anycubic is up for grabs

• Welding - Mig welder is now an arc welder. That’s all we know. 

• Jewelry - Lots of supplies from Cynthia on a long term loan. We now have a kiln. 3D printer for wax - people need to be certified. Vacuum pump and vacuum chamber for casting in the works.   

• Art - Shaun is taking over the championship of the Art station, figuring it out. 

• Bio - some reorganization is needed
