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.- IEC power cables? Our stash is getting a little low…
Next Makerspace Maintenance Punch List
- Build a little stand for the Monoprice SLA Printer, such that the UV Curing Lamp sits under it (with a little extra space for curing taller parts.
- Bonus - add a translucent acrylic window on hinges to cover the lamp area - the laser cutter should be able to handle that size…
- Double bonus - fix the SLA printer vat…
- the i3 needs its BuildTak replaced. We have it, just need to do it…
- Label cabinets in the Shop Zone based on what's inside each door
- disc/strip sander needs a new sanding belt (1×30?) - belts purchased, just need to install…
- Improved shelving around the back of the space? - we have some pieces of 2×10 that might be useful for this…
- Go through the Pallet Racks a little bit - clean up/consolidate where possible
- A general going-through of the shelves:
- Consolidate things that need to be consolidated
- Purge things that need to be purged
- label things that need to be labeled
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 Vinyl Cutter to make a magnetic sign for the outside door.
- Sort bins of random stuff into where the random stuff actually goes
- Improved lighting?
- Improved doors with hinges for the pallet racks? (4×8 sheets of plywood, maybe with some edging so they don't flop apart?)
Shop Zone
- Tool organization - any improvements are welcome!
- Electrical wiring for the “new” 220V stick welder (convert its plug to something better? L6-30? - check with John K.?)
- Build a nice table add-on/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?
"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??)
- Figure out steps needed to make the K40 Laser Engraver chooch safely & reasonably
- Add an Emergency stop?
- 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
Electronics
- Organize components better?
- Organize electronics tools better - electronics bench is a good start at this…
Figure out power supply pinout for prototyping station. - We have a picture of the pinout. Fabricobble a replacement or otherwise find one.
AV Stuff
- 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
Office/Organizational
- Alphabetize waivers? Seems like a good idea in case someone can't remember if they did one or not?
Miscellaneous
- Inventory First Aid supplies. Make list of recommended additions and/or replacements for anything missing.
- There are OSHA guidelines for what should be in one for various group sizes.
- 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
