Plenum

The Plenum is a regular meeting of all people involved with the space to talk about things, and decide stuff.

If you have stuff to add, go right ahead! Please sign your points with your name (by adding a "--~~~~" after your text).

Preamble

• The Plenum is an institution to decide on 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 who's there can participate in that process, member or otherwise.
• Everyone can head 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 8pm and last Sunday at 11am

Next Plenum: Thu, October 10th at 8pm

Topics for the Plenum

What are you currently working on?

Tell everyone about your current projects and stuff you've done for the space

Say Thank you

Let's say thank you to those who did some awesome stuff for the space since the last plenum

• Tim for printing out and binding the Pfaff sewing machine manual, and buying new needles
• Bennet and Paul for cleaning up the white dust

Stuff from the past

What was discussed at the last Plenum? What's the current status of those things? 20190929 Plenum

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

Is there anything that's bothering you?

• Someone did a bunch of sanding or whatever which produced tons of dust.

Some of it was most probably my dust (Nico) but I cleaned up pretty thoroughly after myself so I must have missed some?! My apologies! Someone else also did some sanding and left the workshop very dusty though.

• Cheap yellow delta sander is gone?!
• Our ratchet is gone and there is now a different even more incomplete set?!
• $something is making noise/music the whole day and night. It's not loud enough that I was able to locate it properly but it's still very annoying when it's quiet in the space!
• 3D-Printers running day and night (in idle mode) - Fans are loud and I don't think it's good for the fans to run 24/7 when nobody is printing?!

• What is the current situation with the grey Shelfes in the Gaming area? Alex reached out to Jörg, to whom they belong, via Slack. I appologised for opening them and offered repairment. Unfortunately he hasn't been online since. Others told me, that apparently, Jörg has been told to pick them up and since he didn't the shelfes now belong to the space. So what is the situation now? Is it comparable to the Precious plastic shredder projekt by Lukas?

Alex CNC

The Machine Alex presented to the Plenum turned out to be a scam offering. Alex now has bought a different machine, but with comparable specs. The Room needed for setting it up is about 500mm in width and 800mm in depth. A good place could be on the rightside of the industrial Vacuum, where at the moment only some wood is stored. The Machine should run, however it will take a couple weeks, till it is open for publiuc use, since a PC has to be set up and Milling Profiles have to be configured.

  Sideview

• 

  Axis are nice and sturdy (1605 ballscrew on every axis- 2 on Y, HGW20 on Y, HGW15 on X and Z)

Alex will pic the machine up this Weekend. If the Plenum agrees, the machine will arrive in the Lab on Monday.

Things to Buy

Things to buy for projects related to the space.

• Sanding disks 13€ (Nico)
• Velcro sanding base (mounted on the sander) 12€ (Nico)

On the one which is mounted on the sander the velcro doesn't stick anymore

• Vacuum hose adapters for our sanders <20€ (Nico)

To avoid/reduce dust in the future when people are sanding
