-The **Trotec laser cutter is currently down.** A flange that holds the compressed air line has sheared, so the tool cannot be safely operated at the moment. We are aiming to restore the tool by the end of day next Tuesday. Sorry for any inconvenience.
+I am **now accepting applications for undergraduate staff** for the 2024-2025 academic year. I will likely close the application period around 5/24 and begin interviews. I am hoping to find 3-4 new hires that can begin as soon as June 17. If you are interested, {{ :announcements:staff_job_description.pdf | please see this job description }}, which also contains application instructions.

+**The Innovation Workshop and Microfluidics Lab have been merged into one FBS facility.** Please ensure that you are working inside the new facility, appropriately named "Innovation Workshop & Microfluidics Lab". Let us know if you have any questions or notice anything missing.
-The labs will be **unstaffed from Wed 12/20 until Wed 01/03** due to the Winter holiday closure. Please consider joining us in taking a break from lab work during this time, as there will be no one to assist you in the event that a tool malfunctions. This means that training will also be limited until we return.

-If you use our facilities during the holiday, **please do not let others into the building or labs.** Only those with swipe access should be entering our facilities outside of business hours. We had a small theft in Elings over Veteran's Day weekend, most likely due to an unauthorized person entering behind someone with swipe access.

-**We are ready to offer training on our [[wazer_waterjet | waterjet cutter]].** We will be limiting class sizes to two users per week, so please only request training if you expect to use the tool within a month or less.
-In our experience so far, it's a good tool for cutting materials which are 1/8" (3mm) or less, especially thin materials like sheet metal and carbon fiber. Sign up for training using the Training Request Form linked below.

 We now have a [[https://forms.gle/YvvXqV18izy4TumY6 | Microfluidics Lab & Innovation Workshop Feedback Form!]]
 Please use this form to let us know how we are doing, as well as provide suggestions for potential new tools or procedures.

-**We have redesigned our silanization chamber.** The new chamber features polymer valves and fittings which should not corrode like the stainless steel fittings used in the previous chamber. The silane agent is also stored in a sealed glass container now, so we can easily see when it is running low. Please take a moment to [[vapor_silanation_rig_sop_new | review the new SOP]] before using the tool. Report any issue to the lab manager, and note them in the log book.

-Have you ever wondered **which resin printer is best for your application?** Check out our new little study - {{wiki:3dprint:resin_print_resolution_summary.pdf | Resolution Limits and Print Quality for Resin Printers }}, where we compare the resolution limits of our Objet30 and Form3 printers.
