New user shenanigans
Not cleaning honeycomb
Too much power

Tell them to use less power when cutting

Tips Of The Month

DO not set speed to 1,000 on cut mode (this will not help saving time or money)

There’s the idea that if the software will let them do it, it’s OK to do

In-space easter eggs have any value? How do we get this across to people?

Formalize the “settings from scratch” lab into something more?

Maybe play Big Brother and call out people who don’t clean up?
“For the next 2 weeks, we’re going to check the feed everyday. Anyone who doesn’t clean up gets their cert pulled, and has to take a maintenance class”

What should they learn in Maintenance class?
User cleaning + rails + filter box

Practice Projects
Need to more thoroughly complete the things

Slate project needs some work with engraving the map – map may not be a closed object
(David to update)

Build an actual clock so people understand it (Miriam)

Binder
Power settings page has been replaced

Access Point Update
Hal’s been out of town for 2 weeks, just got back, possibly another 2 weeks until we see results
Evan hopes to get trained up on Hal’s stuff later

Folding Chairs?
David wants to steal 2 more chairs.
Nope – let’s just have Laser buy 4 new chairs.

Computer Update
Need to create a new laser user every month.
David to do after monthly Laser Meeting

Framed Art
Spacers need to be put in the sides
Need to find mechanism for hanging
Frame too thin: Get CA glue and glue it together, then hang it.

Confirm Class Bookings
David every other Tuesday
Miriam first Saturdays

Holiday Events
Laser cut holiday cards November 12th
Need to pull together some kind of plan as to what/how/where
Make it an Art Class, not a Laser Class
Pre-publish a menu of options before class
Add post-laser embellishment
Ornament class? December sometime.
Add the class, then if no-one shows up, we can just hang out and make ornaments
December 10th for Ornament class
Need to prep for this with arty party mid-November

Rotary Tool
Pint glasses have arrived!
Set it all up, charge $12 a pint glass to get your design
Need menu of designs to put on the glasses
Let’s prototype the tool!
Need to figure out how to get glasses in the chuck
Let’s try and do some work on this in October
Then we can put the certification class together.
Miriam & David to work on that this month
