Plenum

The Plenum is a regular meeting of all people involved with the space to talk about things and decide stuff. If you have any topics to add, go right ahead! Please sign your points with your name (by adding a "--~~~~" after your text).

After the Plenum, please follow the tasks outlined in Cycling the Plenum to archive the discussion.

Preamble

• The Plenum is an institution to decide what the space should look like, physically and in other ways, such as virtually.
• Things concerning the space should be discussed at a plenum.
• Everyone on-site can participate in that process, member or otherwise.
• Everyone can lead a plenum; no need for board members to do that.
• Topics should ideally be announced on the Plenum wiki page beforehand.
• The Plenum should be held in a language that everyone participating understands.
• Scheduling: Second Thursday of the month at 8 pm and the last Sunday after the cleanup (which starts at 11 am)
• Plenums should be no longer than 90 minutes.

Next Plenum: Tuesday, Jan 9th at 8pm

Topics for the Plenum

Projects & Groups update

This is a quick update from group meetings at our space, other long-term space projects (e.g., Lasercutter, CNC, etc.) or of the lab internal projects.

• The mitre saw is now bolted to its table and won't go anywhere. --Phier (talk) 23:31, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Say Thank you

• Spacezhang, Philipp, David and Korbinian for having a second running Bambu Lab for the lab
• Philipp for the new cleanup and heating wiki page.
• Alex for the Laser Cutter Honeycomb improvement
• Shubhsboson for testing the Orange Pis on the LaserCube wall. (They are still working, just need new SD Card and new software... and a new idea for what to use them)
• Milian for bringing order into our electronic component inventory & ordering the consumables in December.

MiniJobs

If you want to be mentioned at the previous section as well, one of the easiest ways is to take one of our MiniJobs. This is a great way to participate in the Munich Maker Lab e.V. and contributing time helps keeping our space in a good shape. You can find all information about the scope of the available jobs on MiniJobs.

Stuff from the past

What was discussed at the last Plenum? What's the current status of those things? 20241212 Plenum

3D Printer

• A transport box for the Sidewinder would be too big and too heavy for the transport without a car. Disassembling it every time is also not a good solution since the gantry is the most fragile part of this printer.
  The idea would be to make the Prusa MK3 as a take away printer instead of the Sidewinder. It's smaller to carry around and also faster which would decrease the lent time. --Milian & Phier
• I've contacted the FabLab and asked them if they want their lent "Ulrich 3D printer" back. --Phier

Anything you don't feel comfortable with within the space? What would you like to change or to be changed?

• The "Beehive" is still occupying one of the temporary storage boxes. -> David wanted to contact the owner -> any News ?! BotoxBitch - But will it Parkside (talk) 17:59, 28 December 2024 (CET)
• The power cable running from the wall to the tables in the community area is a dangerous trip hazard. I want to install a floor outlet into the OSB board. This outlet will be connected from underneath from the pit. New ones start at 50€, I've found one on Kleinanzeigen for 23€ (incl. shipping) --Phier (talk) 23:31, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
