Projects for the Makerspace

Some projects to fix up our space. Let us know if you want to take one on. info@colamakerspace.com

• Done - Fan exhaust in 3D printer/laser cutter room. We installed the new 6-inch fan last night. It works great and pushes the louvers open. Run it on high speed and don't forget to open the damper to the enclosure you are using.
• Find the SF micro card used with the Ender 3D printer, or order a new one. Or figure out how to connect it via USB cable to the desktop computer in the room, or by wifi or whatever. 
• Finish welding the table in the metal shop. Design and build a hood to capture fumes and direct them to the existing exhaust fan.
• Find/design/create posters with safety tips. Also to remind people to clean and make sure the doors are locked when they leave. 
• Find the RFID gear from the old space. Then design an RFID system for the new space. We will start with our doors, and then progress to individual tools.
• Post PDF copies of the manuals for our power tools. I took pictures of the tools and paper copies we have (see the gallery below). Just search the manufacturer's site for PDF copies. Zip them up and send them to info@colamakerspace.com and our web master will post them
