We have a BFB 3D printer with dual heads and a cubic foot build area. Also a Printrbot with an 8x8x8″ build area.
3D Printers
Overhead Projector
Sunday Arduino Meetup
Yesterday we experimented with wooden ink stamps. The stamps are made using the CNC cutter and we were hand pressing the stamps. This is incredibly fun and I’m pretty sure some of will be making more! I did a demo of making a stamp and I made up my own business card.
Sarah was showing off her arduino project. As you can see she’d been 3D printing, soldering, breadboarding and programming. Her project is a haptic feedback system.
Fab Labs Nation Party
Ottawa Makerspace
Sewing Machine
We’ve got a sewing machine. I had no idea how much fun these things were!
In the pictures below we are doing freehand sewing. You flip a couple of switches and then you are able to move the fabric manually in any direction.
Wohoo!
We will post the manual and instructions later.
I’ve been poking around and this might be “KENMORE SEWING MACHINE 158.14100” and it may be from the 60s.
Or it’s something not very far off from this:
Glowfair 2017
Business Cards
I made up a stamp business card for the makerspace.
You can see other cool business cards at the inventorArtist.com site.
Father’s Day Meetup (June 18)
The plan was to do Fathers Day portraits like we did for Mothers Day. Nobody came for that but we had 8 people and we did a CNC walk-through on making these Fathers Day Coasters!
Meetups
One of the purposes of Hack613 is a stable place for meetups.
Be sure to check the events calendar and sign up to the newsletter for alerts!
I have purchased 20 chairs plus tables plus Atomic Rooster can lend up to five. There are another five chairs in the four boardrooms that can be used as well. I’ve installed an overhead projector, internet and have paper and pens on the main tables.
There are four boardrooms where people can break off as well.
