| - | The lab manager has returned from vacation and is preparing next week's training schedule. There are currently ~25 outstanding requests and we will do our best to accommodate everyone asap. | + | |
| - | If you posted limited availability | + | The **Bambu H2D is Back Up**. After replacing the hotend cooling fan (and the nozzle camera after accidentally damaging it during repairs) it's back in business! |
| - | 04/07/25 \\ | + | 3/16/2026 \\ |
| - | 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 | + | The **Bambu H2D is Down**. The hotend cooling fan has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Parts have been ordered but no ETA yet. |
| + | Most likely, it will not be up until after Spring Break. | ||
| - | 03/31/25 \\ | ||
| - | 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. | + | 3/12/26 \\ |
| - | 03/27/25 \\ | + | After a moderate amount |
| - | 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. | + | |

| - | 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 | + | |
| + | While our users had a lot of success with Tough 2k V1 and V1.1 on the Form 3, the new V2 formulation does not work well with PDMS casting. | ||
| + | The upside is clear prints on the Form4 have an incredibly smooth finish, even better than the glossy treatment that we developed a couple years ago. | ||
| + | 10/10/25 \\ | ||
| + | **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, | ||
| + | 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. | ||
