Workshop Wizard Resources
Workshop Wizards are undergraduate students who maintain the labs, provide training to users, design new tools, and build parts for users. This page serves as a reference for documentation specific to lab employees and should not need to be referenced by general lab users.
Supplies & Vendors
Workshop Wizard Handbook
The Weekly Cleaning Guide serves as a general resource for the weekly cleaning and maintenance performed by the Workshop Wizards. This must be completed once a week to insure tools are kept in like new condition and the lab is kept stoked, organized, and clean for all users.
The Workshop Wizard Inventory Checklist should be checked every week and done alongside the weekly cleaning. It lists all frequency used consumables and their suppliers along with the necessary number of each item. Should current inventory fall below the minimum quantity of items, Gateway should be used to purchase new consumables.
Use the Gateway portal to make purchasing procurements and assign carts to lab managers and PI's. Instructions on how to use Gateway for a variety of suppliers can be found here.
Please use the Projects Spreadsheet to sign up for and track ongoing internal jobs.
For finished user jobs, notify users through email using this format.

Creating New Recipes
To create a recipe for a new approved material, begin by doing research on what power and speed is generally used for your material. Be sure to account for the differences in speed and power of the printer you’re using versus the printer which you found the material recipe for. Your recipe will be a Speed(0-100%) and Power(0-100%) setting for both engraving and cutting your material. Cutting will need significantly more power/less speed than engraving. R
