 ===== Lab Announcements =====
-/07/25 \\
+/10/25 \\
-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.
