Better documentation and investigation into the design/execution toolchain--scheduled to be handled by the Coordinators.
Coordinators: Regularly check bobbin cutting blade. Order new part from repair shop if damaged.
Coordinators: Regularly check for nicks/scratches in needle plate. Sand out as necessary. Similarly, nicks in feet should be sanded lightly to reduce the burrs.

G
Acquire replacement barrel lock with key for mounting hardware. +
-Get tubing for the other two canisters that isn't already tainted with color. Not sure what size it is exactly, maybe about 1/2-3/4"
-Nozzle rinsing tube needs to be added in to the gun (this is one probable reason it was spurting powder) needs air washing over it from this port, probably also needs a separate regulator for adjustment. It's the only port on the gun with nothing currently attached.
-Open up electronics and verify and label which knob does Voltage and which does Amps
-Secure extra fuses so they aren't just floating in the box.
-While in the electronics, flip the wiring on the potentiometers so they make more intuitive sense when turning them. Currently turning left increases and right decreases.
-Re-print the magnetic mounts with better filament, the PLA is starting to sag from temps in the space. +
Yet to do, short term:
*Coat battery terminals generously with anticorrosive.

*Remove, sandblast, repaint, and reinstall the battery bays.
*Ammeter for charging/discharging current? +

;New cylinders to hold different lenses,
:...to make it easy and safe to change them without smudging or damage. Sector67 has indicated they may make some of these. (The existing cylinder has too narrow an opening for the lens that gives a long focal length. Its beam is so wide that it hits the lip and heats up the cylinder.)
;Payment-measuring timer.
:One way to do this would be to measure current to the machine and time how long it runs at laser-firing power. It would be good to put a button on the timer that would re-set it to zero.
:Another way, used at other spaces, is to use the "blow" output contact from the controller, which is meant to trigger the air-assist, in case bottled gas is being used for special cutting.
===Done===
;Payment box.
:Greg Smith made it.
;Laptop desk.
:Standing desk built by [[user:Dustinbikes|Dustin White]] & Ted Hansen.
;Aperture in the chassis, through which to thread the blue USB cable with a grommet.
:Instead, we discovered an exit under the machine and threaded it through that. [[user:Mattarnold|Matt Arnold]] used sugru on the side of the standing desk for a place to attach the end of the cable when unused. +

The hard drive is also the boot and installation drive, which makes it feel sluggish by 2026 standards. Consider moving boot and program files to an SSD of 0.5-1 TB capacity.
Case and CPU fans are incredibly noisy under moderate load. Consider upgrading to quieter fans (Noctua?).
Needs case screws to attach the side panel. +
