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.
Kevin: Rewrite maintenance page as maintenance + troubleshooting; add link to Husqvarna troubleshooting section of manual (http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/SiteMedia/Products/Machines/Support/Designer_SE_Troubleshooting_EN.pdf).

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.
*Replace the base-run switch.
Wishlist, long term:
*Diagnose and repair the platform-power connection.
*Redo the vinyl lettering on the machine panels and sides.
*Remove, sandblast, repaint, and reinstall the battery bays.
*Ammeter for charging/discharging current? +
H
* Needs a fitted cover, at some point.
* How-to list for printing patterns and posters on the roll paper at full size.
* Order spare ink cartridges and printheads. Preferably set up a process that makes reordering simple, if we have high print volume.
* Set up something that does the accounting for paper and ink usage, and ink/printhead orders, so we don't have to track people down if they forget to pay for their prints...
+
* 2026-06-01: Does it still work?

# Update Wiki pages for this page and for Training page as well as produce training videos.
+
*Source more dies
*Add a good pic to this page
*Add the manual or a link to it
*Maybe find some good videos and link them
+
*Perform monthly checks and maintenance.
*Install at pressing station -- fill water tank, hang UV shield to protect resin, connect iron, hook up retention spring, take a new picture and replace old one on this wiki page.
*Train a trainer
*Offer authorization training sessions and add users to the wiki.
