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: Thursday, 9th March 2023 at 8 pm

Topics for the Plenum

Projects & Groups update

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

3D Printing Area

• Documentation for the filament storage boxes at lab has been created. Dehumidifiers container has been printed and humidity sensor bought.
  
• Discussion about usage and potentially donation of filament is needed.
  
• The Prusa MK3s from Terry has been repaired and should be fully operational. It might be a good idea to find some nice name for it and the Artillery sidewinder X2.
• Some users have mentioned that some flat print is hard to remove from the magnetic build plate, a scraper with plastic blades (like this one) around 5 euro could make life easier without damaging the printbed. (should this be in things to buy?)
• Some glue sticks could be bought for better first layer adheasion, the one currently at lab is small and old.

CNC 3018 Pro

• The CNC 3018 Pro engraving machine has been in the Lab for over one years now and there do exist interest in this machine, especially for small projects and PCB milling. Some Introduction to the machine has been given to the machine but is not structured. Maybe it will be a good idea to find a better way to do the introduction.
• It would be also greate if we can upgrade this machine to a more capable one. It do get the job done nicely but because the very weak spindle takes ages to do bigger projects, and plastic parts makes doing precition operation especially PCB milling pretty hard. My suggestion is to get a machine like this around 343 Euro with aluminium construction and a small spindle or even better one with linear rods and a proper spindle and safety for around 526 Euro. Both should still fits in the eurobox that holds the current machine.

Say Thank you

• Alex guy for clearing up the 3D print corner
• Everyone working on the topic heating to get the MGH to finally do something
• Everyone planning the disassembly of the space to make heater repairs possible
• Everyone helping with the disassembly/reassembly of the space
• Meier and German for doing maintenance on the dust extraction in the workshop
• German for cleaning up the member storage

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? 20230226 Plenum

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

• get rid of the old RGB Projector --Meier (talk)

Member storage

The member storage (Euroboxes) is completely full. I propose to change the rules so that each member can only have one Eurobox in the future. For current members I propose to ask everyone to voluntarily constrain themselves to only use one box too.

Call for action: It would be great to find a group of volunteers who will plan better shelving for the member boxes then we currently have. This involves planning, procuring materials and implementing it.

Proposal: for the next spring cleanup I propose to move all of the member boxes from storage to the main space and validate for each box if it still in use (eg by having the members come in and move them back, or contacting the board members for handling)
