"Someone should ..." - This phrase is uttered very often when it comes to upgrades in the space, so why not gather all the ideas here?

How this page works

  1. You have an idea how to improve something in the Lab.
  2. Write down the basic infos in the table below.
  3. As the project idea matures write down any further details/instructions onto this page.
    For bigger projects (> 2 weeks working time) consider to create an own project page on the wiki.
  4. Introduce your project on the next plenum or gather people to help you.
  5. When finished tell everybody in Slack which awesome improvement you did!


ToDo Projects 💪

Title Description (one or two sentences) Skills needed Help wanted Contact person Status
Switching valve on sawdust vacuum Changing the tube which goes into the vacuum is tedious. Make a Y-valve with a lever to switch between the "arm" and the "tube" crafting / plumbing yes Phier looking for support
Easy device handling on gaming corner The devices at the gaming corner (TV, HiFi, consoles, etc.) should be connected to different switchable power sockets (so there is only one switch to turn on the TV, only one for the HiFi, etc.). Documentation on the wiki how to turn on/off the devices is also needed, along with a QR-code on the devices which point to the corresponding wiki page. - yes Phier looking for support
New proper arm for sawdust vacuum tube The old and fragile plywood arm in the workshop should be replaced by a proper one made out of steel. crafting / maybe welding yes Phier looking for support
LED Projects Documentation We have a bunch of WLED powered blinky projects installed in the space, but there's no documentation in the wiki :'( yes


Finished Projects 🥳

Title Description Done by Month/Year
Laser Cutter door brackets The current brackets for the laser cutter door are old prints and are all cracking, this means the front door panel can come off if all brackets fail. Ideally we would design bulkier brackets with modern materials and install them Adrian & Bernhard 10/2024
Improved water tap at men's toilet The foot switch has been installed with minimal changes to the wiring. If someone wants to do some extra improvements (e.g. bolt it to the ground, improve water resistance with a gasket here and there) they're welcome to :) Adrian 10/2024
