I talked to Eric about these links in reference to the Egg-Bot. I thought I would post them for everyone to see. All the stuff you need to build your own from scratch. Even the PCB gerber files.

Sparkfun has a lot of great tutorials for SMD soldering that are worth a look.
http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/category/2
I think Thomas has done some of the print transfer type etching. This is similar to what was in the video but you skip the need for special photo etch boards.In a nut shell, You print the pattern on paper using a laser printer and iron that to the board. I think water is used to disolve the paper. It leaves the toner on the board. The final step is the same. You just start with a copper clad board and skip the lamp part. The boards might be cheaper as well.
Fun fact! The Egg-Bot frame is made from circuit board material. You can use anything but they used the same process needed for pcb milling. I think it lets them stencil the lettering on it and probably lowers the cost in the end.

It seems to be pretty simple. The video is nine minutes long
and I think he only cut out down time waiting for the chemicals to
work. Definitely need a solder mask for all the surface mount parts.
As for the actual soldering part I see from Hackaday.com, and another
makerspace website I visited that some people have had success gluing
the surface mounts to the board so they remain in place and using a
skillet to re-flow the solder.

I am so sorry guys,
I have a family travel event that I committed to this weekend and I will not make the meeting Saturday evening. I am most disappointed at not getting to meet Brian/Selroth with everyone. My only real input other than encouragement was going to be to ask that a motivated and willing individual take on the project management aspects for the February 4th event. Please Thomas or Jonathan take that for action and get someone to serve as the central point of contact for the event.
I will still be happy to work on the forum part of things for the website this weekend and I have some other outreach stuff going on.
On a personal note I interviewed for a teaching position for Biology at Pine Forest High School and I even mentioned Makerspace :) If you guys have any strings to pull help a brother out :)
Best,
Carl Swanson

Don't feel bad, I won't be attending this one because I don't
feel so hot. I just moved here so I'm not used to the local germs. As
for the project I think the egg bot is a great idea. We need to be
able to show them we can be an asset to local business's. Being able
to upgrade and repair your own equipment in this economy would be a
huge advantage. Other points could be things like helping rebuild
America's manufacturing base.
Jon do you have any more of those planet kits use in the Tundra
painting tut? Maybe we could have the bot draw a green and blue map of
Earth on the ball.

I have a few. :) I'm working on some designs but the designs are complex and kinda require the bot to do some trial and error. I'll bring a few and if time and Eric allows we can experiment a bit. I can also teach anyone some of the cool tricks I've learned with Inkscape.

Cool. Something else is I don't know how many people know about how
cheap and easy most data recovery can be. I got a EIDE/SATA/SATA 2.5
to usb adapter for under $30. I use that along with the BackTrack 5
Linux distro to get files off of hard drives that Windows refuses to
recognize.

John, I can't come Suaturday (tomorrow) night. You are certainly welcome to work with the eggbot. I have ordered a case of pingpong balls for the 4th. I think Dawn will start decorating them with "makerspacepensacola.com" and leave an area to write visitor's names. I can get the eggbot to you and you can try out your designs as well.
For the 4th, I also have serveral arduinos, leds, and misc items. I've got some attiny85's that I've been playing with in conjunction to some small prototyping boards that I have milled from single sided coper clad boards (using an smd digital pot, surface mount resistors, and caps via i2c from attiny). So this describes my smd soldering as well.
I also have a GE865 that we can easliy set up so that someone can send it a text message and tirgger an output to do whatever......
I can also bring my roland MDX15 (the baby brother of Lamar's MDX650) if we want to have a mill running.

I don't want to take up to much time on Dawn's new toy :) Oh I just had an idea. If you can work up a cool design for an advertising item then we can print it on one of the acrylic ornaments. They have a nice hole in the bottom that could take LEDs easily. Then we can setup a few with the GE865. Text the number with 1,2 or 3 and that will turn on and off the LED planet combos.
The mill would be cool. I'm not sure how loud it is or how hard it is to move. Might turn into more trouble then it's worth. The Open Book guys better watch out. Looks like we are going to steal a good chunk of their thunder.

My 10 yo nephew has a capacitor that he made from a 5-gallon bucket. Apparently during discharge it lights up his entire backyard and can be heard more than a block away! No need to steal thunder when we can make our own....
I'm hoping he will bring it to the demo.

Oops. Duh of course we're competing. I mean do we know who else is
trying to get space there?

The event is for the opening of Open Books. We have been invited to feel out the space and their organization to see if it will be a good fit. I personally like the space. Its kinda a starter home for us. Small and cozy but needs a bit of work. Details have not been hammered out yet. This event is designed to help us gain support/potential members and meet the Long Hollow people who are renting one of the buildings to Open Books.

We are not competing. It is two different buildings in the same complex. We also have a possible opportunity next door. Those details are months away and depend on the city letting the art group move in. Open books is moving to Building A. I assume building B is the meeting hall in the middle and the old semi converted stables in the back could be for us.
