Scooter

My plan was to get an electric but that might be a little excessive, don’t you think?

Elaine lent me this one and it seems to do the trick for local errands and scooting over to the door to let people in.

May 17 Blink

We worked on the CD-Dress project. There are now seven people on the project (some making more than one dress). More news to be released on this project soon! If you are interested in this project, send a note to darcy@inventorArtist.com.

There was also an Arduino Blink scheduled for 7pm but there were no RSVP. We did have one person show but he didn’t have a laptop. So I made an arrangement for him to come back for a more serious session.

Mom-O-Matic

At our meetup today we did Mom portraits for Mothers Day.

We used our drawing robot which is an open source Axidraw system designed by Evil Mad Scientist.

Was quite a bit of fun.

Also Doug et. al. did some soldering in the oven.

Introduction to CNC, May 9, 2017

Last night we had a great beginner course on understanding CNC, using Sketchup and the 3020 CNC machine.

The course description was as follows:

Fast track of steps from A-Z of making a simple part. This is an overview and description of CNC. Also during the presentation we will see the process from A-Z of making a small part out of wood or plastic. $15 for non members.

We had a good turnout and we managed to make some pins. We cut them from some stained birch and then glued on a pin using super glue.

I forgot to take pictures so all I have is the before and after shots…

Aside from a drawing robot and CNC demo, the highlight was Doug hacking the “H” balloon into the Starship Enterprise.
