Project Presentations

Let's take about 2 × 20 minutes before each plenum to show others what we're working on! If you are interested in talking about your projects, please announce it here and/or via the Mailing List:

  • talk 1: From scratch build of a PC case. Aluminum Cube, cooled with water. -Jochen
- An old project from 2008. Robust design. Details documented at Meisterkuehler.de
  • talk 2: Building and programming a QR-code based physical jukebox with raspberry pi. -Keno
- Included a very interesting summary of QR-code workings. Amazing that 800 characters on 2cm QR-code can be reliably read by PI camera.

  • Waste Situation?
- Generally better. 
- Further improvements at upcoming do-something event on 22 Mar.

Area Patron Update

Area Patron Update Members Feedback
Electronics Bench Johannes Johannes has done a great job organising the Electronics area, including sorting the metal shelves, attaching the sockets robustly so it's easier to plug and unplug and keep the cables organised. He got good feedback and thanks. In general it is being left in pretty good shape by the users compared to before. Probably due to it being so much better organised
3D Printers Luca became a 3D printing tutor any feedback/thanks?

Who else would like to become an Area Patron (Eckpate) or tutor for a tool they're experienced with?

Seminar Ideas

open discussion (general improvements, etc.)

What did I do since the last plenum?

Quick roundtable

  • Notable for the Space: Moritz continues the small metal Lathe repair/renovation - will contact Armin about modification to mount it and also to ask can space be made for mounting it in the precious plastic area.
    • Lukas: talked to Moritz the next week - instead of shrinking the Precious Plastic area which will all be needed as soon as that stupid missing part arrives, we planned to move the blast cabinet and table to the left and the Precious Plastic area to the right. The drying oven could go with the plastic equipment, making enough room on the table to mount the lathe.

What am I planning to do until the next plenum?

  • Kim will order at Motedis, anyone interested?

What went wrong?

What went well?

  • lots of new additions to the Members Wall :-)
  • 7 new members again since the last plenum!

What should get done at the space (new issues)?

Next Meeting

A Wednesday evening in April - April 3rd or April 10th?

  • no decision during the plenum, let's just do April 10 for more time in between.
