11th Meet Up- Coffee then to the Lab.
John
Where- Letty's Coffee Shak 4229 Front St. San Diego, CA
Who- Anyone interested.
What- Makerspace meeting/ hacking
Why- Last week we mistakenly got caught up in conversation and missed
Richard at his lab. This week we are meeting at a coffee shop very
close to the lab so we can all make it in time.
There isn't a lot of close parking so you might have to park a few
blocks away or a pay for parking.
Bring whatever projects you would like to show off/ get help with and
we will try to get a lot done this week.
Don't forget Richard has opened his lab to us all week, just call a
day ahead. So, anyone can head over there though out the week.
Hope to see you all there!
Please RSVP so we know who to expect.

Given that no one showed up ... or bothered to call me (until 2 hours
later) ... I already have made plans for doing something else this
Saturday.
Basically its like this if you want to build repraps ... I am
interested. If you want to talk about building repraps ... I am not
interested.

to get to see Richard's lab.
There are so many RepRaps and many types of
RepRaps that it is an inspiration.
Hardcore RepRap builders should make
this a priority.

on timing) or if you have a planned building session then I am open
towards participating.

talking and weren't watching the clock. At one point, I checked the
time and could have asked "Hey aren't we supposed to be going to
Richards lab?" but I got distracted and didn't say anything. I think
we were just being cluless, no insult intended, and I do apologize for
not thinking about the fact that you were expecting us.

I would be lying if I am saying I wasn't bummed out about it. I sort
of am scratching my head ... still. Do you really think we have that
many people interested in this stuff to have 2 meetings
simultaneously.
But anyway Rob and Verne stopped by today and told me that the meeting
was really good and that some laser cutter people showed up.
I would definately like to do some cutting ... (aka print beds and
experiment with a linear rail). Eventually I want to get one of my
own. It would be awesome to have access to one to do a couple of
cuts.
I would barter providing access to space for group for access to a
laser cutter for some cuts.
Thing is that I am moving out sometime before June and that will be
the end of my Reprap lab since its some of it is going to be an a stem
cell building and other parts will be in my backyard (another Saturday
project).

walking distance of the lab, so we can keep talking as we make our way
over there. LOL...
Sorry to hear the lab is going away, but 3 months is better than
nothing. Hopefully, by then John's kickstarter listing and our group
efforts to found a Maker Space in San Diego can provide a new home for
your RepRaps, or at least some of them. That way, you can continue to
get some help with whatever issues you run into (I hear the power
supply has been acting up?) and we all can have a place to hang out
and make things.

Yeah my wiring was loose looks like its working now.
This week isn't good for me anyway. Since I have to hustle on
preparing the move. (I am moving to Sanford next week)
Overall fundamentally, Makespace is opening on Morena (awesome ... I
can ride my bike there from my house). So having a kickstarter is sort
of obsolete, don't you think? Its started hurray @ Makespace!!
I am interested in collaborating on building repraps though. There is
so many little issues where crowdsourcing would be very effective
(multiple nozzles, different materials). So I am keen on coordinating
a build? Maybe try to allocate responsiblities to different parts of
the group.
Next week the space will be more open/empty and we can try again if
you want. I am not upset about moving out of Hillcrest. Since this is
my full time contractor job (reprapper/biotech ninja), I will be in a
place that is more active and I can reduce transportation costs coming
out here. This is place is just a hospital anyway ... its not like La
Jolla.
And I can learn how to make organs ... or be a reprap alternative meat
butcher for great grilling steaks :)

Are you leaving next week or before June?
Where is Sanford?
What is Makespace? (google doesn't find anything related for makespace
or "makespace san diego")

I am moving my expensive stuff to Sanford Regenerative Institute
(Torrey Pines glider port location) next week but I am keeping the
Hillcrest space until June (UCSD works this way).
So right now my place is in a state of chaos (more so then usual).
Next week it will be more emptied out and the benches will be more
accessible ... but actually I am out even next week too so I could
host a meeting in 3 weeks but then again Makerplace should be open
then.
I guess you are not on John's MakerspaceSD facebook page ... here is
the link to Makerplace -- http://www.makerplace.com/

the point in going to that tiny coffee shop. I'd rather go back to
lestat's if we aren't going to Richard's after.
Richard Rouse
sorry
