It’s been a while since we had an update on the space. Thanks to the hard work of several members we’re now pretty well set up and open to making… A picture speaks a thousand words so please join me in a quick tour of the space in pictures:
Our main work benches and shelving. Note the LED shelving, each LED is individually addressable (you can control the colour and brightness), they’re waiting to join the IOT “Cloud” with the use of a Wemos (https://www.wemos.cc/) Maybe you can be the one to help progress this project?
Our laser cutter, several members are now fully trained and have been starting to making various projects developing laser cutting and etching skills , they’re raring to pass these new skills on to other members.
Our 3D printer has been tuned and fettled by a dedicated member. He has been printing parts for other members and it is pretty much ready to be opened up for general use by all members.
Our soldering station has been put to good use so far. We’re looking forward to the magnification, heat pencil and hot plate being used for SMD assembly. Our oscilloscope and meters are out of shot.
Our engineering area where all manner of turning and drilling has taken place.
Member’s storage is starting to fill up with all kind of interesting projects and equipment.
Our in house designed and manufactured (laser cut) cable storage rack.
It you’re not a member come along on a Friday night to see the place for real!
