TO DO LIST
THINGS YOU CAN BRING THAT WOULD HELP
“Shoe Box”-style plastic boxes. Nicer ones from Home Depot or even dollar store ones. We're not picky. If we had 20 of these show up, I'm sure we'd find a use for at least 20 more.We have plenty of these at the moment.- Pie-in-the-sky request: Another nice rolling tool chest like our Craftsman one? If somebody craigslists one for $50 or less, I'll reimburse you (only applicable one time. Include screenshot/printout of ad for proof of price)
General Space Infrastructure
- General cleanup (i.e. the kind of thing that should happen frequently- every week or three…)
- Empty garbage into dumpster (all of the cans, so we can fill them up again)
- Tidy all workbench surfaces
- Shelf organization/labeling
- Keep generally similar things together. If something's in the wrong place, get it to the right (or at least a right-er) place.
- Contain loose things into containers where possible
- LABEL BOXES/CONTAINERS/SHELVES: just use a piece of masking tape & a Sharpie.
- literally work on anything on the fixme list
- Use the new Vinyl Cutter to make a magnetic sign for the outside door.
- Sort bins of random stuff into where the random stuff actually goes
Shop Zone
- Continue repairs on the Shopsmith Mark V- parts are in, what are you waiting for?
Move Press back into the workshop area if it's not alreadyI think this was done?- Start working on the new-to-us band saw from Akron Makerspace
- Figure out all the stuff it needs done to make it a viable tool
- Needs a new power cord.
- Blade is insanely rusty, but seemed to move freely?
- Robert H. started on this…
- Drill bit sorting(ok, probably not, but it does drive me crazy)
- Priority: really low, unless it's driving you crazier than me.
- Tool organization - any improvements are welcome!
Rolling carts/stands for some bench tools (Miter saw, especially) - need to keep bench space free for the eventual 4×4 CNC Router.Semi-lower priority now?- Better stand/mount for the Disc Sander? If not, see about improving stiffness of the existing stand…
- Better organization inside the gray bench cabinets in general
- Electrical wiring for the “new” 220V stick welder (convert its plug to something better? L6-30? - check with John K.)
* Put the Enco Drill Press back together DONE
- Build a nice fence for the Enco Drill Press?
- Measure T-slot nuts for the Enco Drill Press. See of additional ones are available, or maybe make some.
- Implement Dust Collection Station? See what repairs the Delta Dust Collector needs?
"Hardware" Wall
- Fastener Organization & labeling
Electronics/Digital Zone (general)
- Install a set of standardized tools onto laptops
- Arduino IDE
- Cura
- SignBlazer Elements (it's effectively free, but not a good as VinylMaster…)
- Pronterface (handy-er for debugging DIY printers than Cura?)
- Inkscape (useful for designing stuff for the vinyl cutter)
- Salae Logic
- K40 Whisperer
- bCNC?
- The Easel Connector for CNCing from the web browser
- Other software?
- Maybe first get all of these installers onto a USB stick, so they can be done all at once.
Computers/Digital Fabrication
DesignJet printer really needs a dust cover, since it gets completely clogged up with dust and debris when not in use.(would still be nice, but less critical now?)- Complete RepRap Snappy
- Make some kind of filament storage solution? (clear plastic tote w/holes & gaskets, and a bunch of color-changing silica gel??)
- Get the MaxNC running again? - shouldn't need too much effort.
- 8/07/18 - plugged in and jogged it, tested spindle start. Probably good to make a small test piece next…
- Optional: Upgrade electronics to something 4-axis ready.
- Get the RepRaps running again, or for the first time?
- Bonus: Upgrade them to RepRap Samuels
- Figure out steps needed to make the K40 Laser Engraver chooch safely & reasonably
- Add an Emergency stop?
Figure out ventilation - filtration system?ORDERED. Will need some- Figure out water pump/alarm stuff (short version: water pump is running, but flow alarm is triggering? need better pump? replace alarm? right now alarm is shorted out in order to test functionality…)
- Add air assist
- Replace clamping fixture with something bigger
Electronics
- Organize components better?
figure out a way to keep all the Radio Shack bins together??they're mostly under the benches now- Organize electronics tools better - electronics bench is a good start at this…
Figure out power supply pinout for prototyping station. Fabricobble a replacement or otherwise find one.
AV Stuff
- Go through pile of donated audio cables w/cable tester and see what's working and what isn't
- Make repairs to cables that don't work, or make list of needed connectors if parts aren't available.
- Figure out condition of donated microphones - parts needed? parts available?
This Wiki
- Update entries that need updating
- Delete entries that need to be deleted
- Add entries that need to be added (use the Tool Submission Form for Equipment)
- Add photos to Equipment entries? (Good for a first timer!)
- Add/Update instructions for Equipment entries
Miscellaneous
- Inventory First Aid supplies. Make list of recommended additions and/or replacements for anything missing.
- Repair the rolling cart - I kind of tried epoxy but it didn't seem to work. Weld? Bolt?
Long Term/Not any time soon
- More/better shelving?
- More improved use of vertical space? (not sure how to accomplish this without stairs/ladders)
- Any new shelving project should have a budget, rough drawing, and an explanation of where it will go…
- Build a wheeled cart for the Casting Furnace?
- We'd need cast iron/steel casters. We should have sufficient steel tubing?
- Priority: low,
needs good weather (due to welding) or done offsite.
