 ===== Lab Announcements =====

-There will be no internet in Elings this week on Wednesday and Thursday. Our local connection should still work, so tools will function, but if you need to transfer data you must bring external (USB) storage.
-Ensure that you log your reservation in FBS. If you typically make reservations from within the lab, please remember to do so beforehand or immediately after. Thank you!
+**Fall Update:** Wizards are back and training is ramping up.
+Over the summer we installed one **Form 4 resin printer**, as well as a new wash and cure station. For those who are trained on the Form 3 printers, feel free to try the Form 4 -- the workflow is nearly identical and up to 10x faster. Once we've used most of our Form 3 consumables, we'll install another Form 4 and retire our Form 3s.

+This year we are launching the Future Makers program - a series of field trips and workshops to inspire young students to want to make things. **The lab will be closed from 9am - 4pm on November 14** for our first field trip. Please do not plan to access the Innovation Workshop during that time.
-The **lab manager will be out of the country from 4/20 to 5/5.** During this time, there will be no new user orientations. Expect training, jobs, and tool maintenance to move a little slower than usual.
-If you need an orientation (required for swipe access), I recommend requesting training ASAP using the form below the announcements.
-/27/25 \\
-There will be an **all-campus power outage tonight** around 9pm. Power will remain off until tomorrow morning. We are powering off several tools in preparation for the outage.
-Since tomorrow is a holiday (Caesar Chavez), no one will be around to respond to any lingering tool issues until Monday 3/31. I recommend waiting until Monday to resume lab work in 3430.
-/11/2025 \\
-As some of you may know, we recently installed a **new laser cutter.** It's much more powerful than the Trotec, with a larger bed and a more effective air assist.
-This means it can cut a much wider range of materials. You can learn more about the new laser cutter [[thunderlaser_nova35 | here]]
-We are currently phasing out the old Trotec. If you need to laser cut, please request training on the new laser cutter asap. **The Trotec will no longer be available for regular use.** You can find the training request form below the announcements.
+/11/25 \\
+**Summer Update:** There will be minimal Wizard support this summer at the Innovation Workshop. If you submit jobs, expect them to be performed by the lab manager.
