New Business

Space business - Bathroom Cleanliness

From Jan, who's been putting forth a ton of effort to keep the front rooms clean:

  • Could we agree to use the bathroom sink for bathroom uses only, and use the utility sink to rinse paints etc? Also a reminder to leave sinks rinsed for the next person, and make sure if you have guests, they do the same.

  • Come help out. Great way to contribute for new and prospective members.

  • Planning an Open House meeting next Tuesday, 7:30 pm, February 27

Zone updates

Compute Zone

  • Nothing to report

Laser Zone

  • Both lasers need new tubes. Also, China is currently celebrating new years so no one is at work this week. This has delayed getting replacements. I expect to get the order in by next Monday, and then, optimistically, the tubes should be delivered in early March.

Machine Shop

  • We recently got new carbide cutters for the lathe
  • New grinders for high speed steel. Planning to get these up and running during potlock.
  • If anyone's around during the day, the scrap barrels need to be emptied. The phone number for the guy who picks it up is on the barrel so give him a call and see if he can stop by.

Media Lab

  • Nothing to report

Vinyl Zone

  • There have been some reported problems with the vinyl cutter.
  • We haven't gotten to the root of the issue or even determined if there is an issue.
  • If you have any failed cuts where it seems like the machine screwed up, please post in Slack in #vinyl_zone and if you can, share the file you were trying to cut
