The Old VHS Minutes Thread!

Even though I just stopped in last night to pick some stuff up:

  • Reset Dustin on his charger
  • Pressed the “go” button on his fully-charged little sister, Buffy
  • Reduced the volume of our laser cutter scrap pile without getting rid of anything useful:

For exampe, start (right), and finished (left):

Whether or not the leftover parts are actually useful or if they should be kept is debatable. But getting rid of the useless bits is good for everyone!

Laser stuff done today:

Realigned mirrors 2 & 3, cleaned all 3 mirrors and focus lens.

Could we get a list going for tasks people could potentially knock off?
I eventually sorted some bins today, but it took more than my allotted one minute to figure out what to do :slight_smile:

That’s a good idea. Do you think it should be a separate thread?

I attended a workshop at VIVO this weekend, and after it was over I asked the instructors if it was okay to hand out some VHS stickers.

They said yes, so now 8 more people know about VHS. Thanks to @xquared for getting the stickers made!

Cleaned out Dustin - he had tons of hair round his brushes/gears and he was full of bolts for some reason. Cut all that stuff off and then released him into the space to do more damage.

Updated the ‘Join Us’/membership page with the new membership dues and did some small updates so the signup process becomes more clear.

Updated the https://isthelaserbusy.com/ site to include last usage (or in the case that it is currently in-use, how long it has been used), and a favicon because lasers should have lasery icons.

I ordered filters for the lasercutter. We had a smell complaint from another tenant. Makes sense - filters will cut that down and with busy cutting season approaching it’ll be less stinky outside and inside the space. Thanks LCC for approving that purchase.
