<hr />
<div>This is a pledge drive to purchase a second hand Boxford BGL1390 laser cutter from a local person who has offered it at a good price and has kept it in good condition, with light usage. If purchased it'd replace the current 9 year old laser (which would likely be sold).<br />

[[#Pledge List|Add your pledge to the bottom of the page]] if you have a wiki account (the password is the same as your HMS account, but make sure you use your HMS username rather than email address) but if you can't access let the [[trustees]] know. Your pledge money will be requested once the pledge is fulfilled and once we have the money the laser will be purchased.<br />
<br />
== Pledge Aims ==<br />
<br />
£3600 - Base pledge for the Boxford Laser Cutter and assorted parts:<br />
* 100W Laser<br />
* Lightburn based controller<br />
* Built in chiller<br />
* Camera with automatic laser focus (the autofocus will be repaired and may not be immediately available)<br />
* Rotary attachment (brand new/unused)<br />
* 1 x Lens with narrower beam for deeper cutting<br />
* 2 x Lenses best for engraving and shallow cuts (caveat; we are not allowing members to swap lenses they may be used in particular workshops however)<br />
* Lightburn Software (3 keys) and Boxford material library<br />
* Misc Spare materials (will be used for workshops)<br />
<br />
If we reach £3600 and go over money will go towards the below items:<br />
<br />
* Transport and installation<br />
* Spare mirrors and lenses<br />
* Improvements to the laser area<br />
* Running the Hackspace<br />
<br />
== Pledge Money for Laser Time and Inductions Information ==<br />
<br />
Like the first laser cutter pledge we will be allowing the pledge money to be also used against the cost of using the laser in the future.<br />
<br />
It has been decided by the Trustees the cost will '''not''' be increasing from £3 per hour which is judged to keep it at a good, affordable level and cover usage, parts and repairs.<br />
<br />
To use the new laser cutter you will need a safety and Lightburn software induction. If you have already had an induction on the current laser this will be free and these will be done in groups. The laser team is prepared to commit the time to do this.<br />
<br />
Inductions for members not already inducted on the current laser will continue to be paid one to one sessions bookable on HMS (cost £20).<br />
<br />
== Information and Background on the Boxford Laser Pledge ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Boxford2023.jpg|300px|thumb|Boxford Laser]]<br />
<br />
We were recently offered the opportunity to purchase a laser cutter that is surplus to the requirements of the owner. The machine in question is a Boxford 100W with A0 (1300mm x 900mm) bed.<br />
<br />
It was purchased in 2021 and has had relatively little use, mostly during Covid when their primary business was on hold.<br />
<br />
The machine has a built in chiller, air assist compressor and advanced control panel with screen. It also has front and back pass-through panels that are easily opened and closed, allowing sheet materials larger than the bed to be processed. To assist in maintenance all parts of the system are accessible by removable panels.<br />
<br />
Also included is a rotary attachment which has not yet been used. There is also a camera to assist in positioning work on the bed accurately.<br />
<br />
The laser has been well looked after with the honeycomb bed in excellent condition with only a little residue. It has been tested by the laser team doing cuts and engraves.<br />
<br />
The user had a small fire in the machine that led to one of the clear lid panels being damaged. This has now been made good but unfortunately it also affected the auto focus system which is currently not working and we will be seeking to fixing this as part of the pledge. Other than this, the machine is in good condition and is recommended to us by Dominic and is recommended by the Laser Team for purchase.<br />
<br />
Software is Lightburn which is one of the best laser control programs currently, allowing use of many different file formats including both raster and vector files.<br />
<br />
When new this machine cost £8932, but the owner is looking for £3500 for a quick sale and we want to fix the autofocus for an additional £100 for £3600 total.<br />
<br />
== Our Current Laser ==<br />
<br />
The current laser cutter was discussed in the last Members Meeting, and rightly the question was raised about fixing or improving the current laser cutter.<br />
<br />
Our current laser cutter is currently over 9 years old and in recent times (3-4 years) we have seen multiple problems develop which despite servicing by a professional engineer continue to plague us.<br />
<br />
Lasercut software on the PC has always been unreliable, sometimes failing to load files, even the regularly used induction files from both hard drive and removable media and failure to download files to the laser for cutting. Multiple attempts usually result in success but there is no pattern to the problem.<br />
<br />
Intermittently the laser head will jog around 10mm to either left or right while cutting and continue while maintaining the offset.<br />
<br />
While the base bed on the laser is level, both knife and honeycomb beds have problems with the honeycomb bed having a significant dip in the middle, this may be contributing to uneven cutting with parts of projects not cutting through completely.<br />
<br />
We have also had instances of the cut becoming random during a session, which can result in a waste of materials.<br />
<br />
While some of these issues could be resolved by modifying the laser, we are faced with it being taken offline for indeterminate periods while work is done and tested. This could cause upset amongst users of arguably the most popular tool in the Hackspace, especially as there is no guarantee of the machine being fixed by this work.<br />
<br />
The Laser Team recommends this Pledge Drive to raise the funds required to purchase the Boxford as it will quickly solve the current issues, while giving a significant upgrade in laser performance (25% power increase and much wider capabilities with Lightburn).<br />
<br />
== FAQ ==<br />
<br />
'''How/when will the new laser be installed?'''<br />
<br />
The seller wants it gone ASAP so it could arrive quickly. If we can arrange installation at the same time this will be announced to all members. The lift is currently out of order so will depend on that being fixed.<br />
<br />
The new laser will require a short reinduction as noted before, but these can't occur until the new laser is installed.<br />
<br />
'''What is happening to the old laser?'''<br />
<br />
It will hopefully find a buyer since it is in working order. If you are interested, contact the Trustees!<br />
<br />
<br />
== Pledge List ==<br />
<br />
Add your pledge to the bottom of the page if you have a wiki account (the password is the same as your HMS account) but if you can't access let the [[trustees]] know. Your pledge money will be requested once the pledge is fulfilled and once we have the money the laser will be purchased.<br />
<br />
We are reviewing the pledge list on Saturday 5th of August.<br />
<br />
When paying the code will be LASER2023-XX where XX is your initials. '''Do Not send money until we call in the pledges'''<br />

<br />
===Puncture Repair Kits===<br />
This contains the glue and patches that you may need to repair a flat tyre.<br />
<br />
Some air will naturally escape from your tyre over time, so If your bike has not been used for a while it may not actually have a puncture. Try pumping up your tyre and leaving it for an hour to see if it maintains the same pressure.<br />
<br />
After using the glue, please endure that the lid is replaced tightly as the glue quickly evaporates.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2sKMqB9QCg<br />
<br />
===Freewheel / Cassette Removal Tool and Chain Whip===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:Cassettetool.jpg<br />
File:Cainwhip.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
These tools are for removing and refitting the rear sprockets from the rear wheel. <br />
====Freewheel vs Cassette====<br />
A freewheel will have the ratchet system (aka the clicky bit) built into it, whilst a cassette slides on to a separate ratchet system (the freehub).<br />
Most budget bicycles with 7 rear sprockets or less will be fitted with a freewheel, whilst other bikes will have a cassette.<br />
<br />
The tool is compatible with the vast majority of cassettes and freewheels.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTeL6zIqYtY<br />
<br />
===Chain Breaker / Chain Pliers===<br />
<br />
<gallery><br />
File:Chain Pliers.jpg<br />
File:ChainBreaker.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
These tools are for “breaking” the chain open, which will enable you to remove your chain.<br />
<br />
These days many new bikes come with a split link fitted to the chain, which can quickly be detached and re-attached using the chain pliers. If your chain does not have a split link, you will need to use the chain breaker to press a pin out of your chain to release it.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1qBdtmXZFo<br />
<br />
===Chain Gauge===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:ChainGauge.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
Use this tool to check how worn your chain is. As you ride your bike, the pins in the chain wear down, causing your chain to stretch. Riding with a worn chain can wear down your sprockets, which can be costly to repair, so it is worth checking your chain wear regularly.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXd-3UnqoaM<br />
<br />
===Wheel Truing Stand and Spoke Key===<br />
(Wheel Truing Stand on loan from Mike Haber)<br />
<gallery><br />
File:Truingstand.jpg<br />
File:Spokekey.png<br />
</gallery><br />
This tool is to check and straighten your wheels. <br />
Straight wheels are important for bikes with rim brakes, as it prevents the wheel rubbing on your brakes as you ride. It also allows means you can set your brakes closer to your rims, allow for sharper braking.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YqpZg_-FIM<br />
<br />
===Crescent Wrench===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:Crescentwrench.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
Most budget bikes use a cup-and-cone ball bearing system on the bottom bracket (the axle between the peddles/front sprocket). As the bearings wear, or if the cones loosen, you will start to feel play in the bottom bracket.<br />
The crescent wrench can be used along with a spanner to access and service these bearings.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrkqf91H_Zk<br />
<br />
===Bottom Bracket Cartridge Extractor===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:Bbextractor.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
Many mid range and older bikes will be fitted with a non-serviceable Bottom Bracket cartridge. When this is worn out, the whole unit will need replacing.<br />
This tool enables you to remove and re-fit this part.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBnYoYVTnlo<br />
<br />
===Chainset Extractor===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:Crankextractor.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
The Chainset is the collection of sprockets and the peddle arm in the centre of the bike. Most bikes are fitted with a two piece chain set where each side is pressed onto a centre axle (the bottom bracket). This tool enables you to push the chainset off the bottom bracket.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B6LdZPa4M8<br />
<br />
===Pedal Wrench===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:Pedalwrench.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
This tool is for removing your bikes pedals. Please note that the right side pedal has a right-hand thread (ie. Turn anticlockwise to loosen).<br />
This can also be used as a cone wrench.<br />
<br />
===Cone Wrench===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:Conespanners.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
These wrenches are for removing and loosening the bearing cones on your wheel axles. You will need this tool when replacing your wheel bearings.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIB0tfz6ju4<br />
<br />
===Workstand===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:MaintenanceStand.jpg<br />
</gallery><br />
It's a bit wobbly, so make sure the quick releases are tight. It's not secure enough to work on pedals or bottom brackets, but it's great for using to set up your brakes and gears. Best to secure your bike by the seatpost, but if your cables aren't routed along the top tube you could turn the clamp and secure it there too. <br />
<br />
This stand is fully adjustable and can hold your bike in various positions. By using this stand, you will be able to suspend your bike, enabling you to turn the peddles and wheels uninhibited.<br />
When using the stand whilst setting your gears and brakes, make sure the stand’s grip is not pressing against any of your bike’s cables.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Allen Keys===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:AllenKeys.jpg <br />
</gallery><br />
Set up to 10mm and 1x12mm (can remove some freehub assemblies)<br />
<br />
===Consumables===<br />
All purpose Grease<br />
<br />
Oil<br />
<br />
A limited number of chain split links<br />

===Puncture Repair Kits===<br />
This contains the glue and patches that you may need to repair a flat tyre.<br />
<br />
Some air will naturally escape from your tyre over time, so If your bike has not been used for a while it may not actually have a puncture. Try pumping up your tyre and leaving it for an hour to see if it maintains the same pressure.<br />
<br />
After using the glue, please endure that the lid is replaced tightly as the glue quickly evaporates.<br />

===Freewheel / Cassette Removal Tool and Chain Whip===<br />
<gallery><br />
File:File:Cassettetool.jpg|Cassette Freewheel Removal Tool<br />
File:Cainwhip.jpg|Chainwhip<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
These tools are for removing and refitting the rear sprockets from the rear wheel. <br />
====Freewheel vs Cassette====<br />
A freewheel will have the ratchet system (aka the clicky bit) built into it, whilst a cassette slides on to a separate ratchet system (the freehub).<br />
Most budget bicycles with 7 rear sprockets or less will be fitted with a freewheel, whilst other bikes will have a cassette.<br />
<br />
The tool is compatible with the vast majority of cassettes and freewheels.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Chain Breaker / Chain Pliers===<br />
[[File:Chain Pliers.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Chain Pliers]]<br />
<br />
These tools are for “breaking” the chain open, which will enable you to remove your chain.<br />
<br />
These days many new bikes come with a split link fitted to the chain, which can quickly be detached and re-attached using the chain pliers. If your chain does not have a split link, you will need to use the chain breaker to press a pin out of your chain to release it.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1qBdtmXZFo<br />
<br />
===Chain Gauge===<br />
Use this tool to check how worn your chain is. As you ride your bike, the pins in the chain wear down, causing your chain to stretch. Riding with a worn chain can wear down your sprockets, which can be costly to repair, so it is worth checking your chain wear regularly.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXd-3UnqoaM<br />
<br />
===Wheel Truing Stand and Spoke Key===<br />
This tool is to check and straighten your wheels. <br />
Straight wheels are important for bikes with rim brakes, as it prevents the wheel rubbing on your brakes as you ride. It also allows means you can set your brakes closer to your rims, allow for sharper braking.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YqpZg_-FIM<br />
<br />
===Crescent Wrench===<br />
Most budget bikes use a cup-and-cone ball bearing system on the bottom bracket (the axle between the peddles/front sprocket). As the bearings wear, or if the cones loosen, you will start to feel play in the bottom bracket.<br />
The crescent wrench can be used along with a spanner to access and service these bearings.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrkqf91H_Zk<br />
<br />
===Bottom Bracket Cartridge Extractor===<br />
<br />
Many mid range and older bikes will be fitted with a non-serviceable Bottom Bracket cartridge. When this is worn out, the whole unit will need replacing.<br />
This tool enables you to remove and re-fit this part.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBnYoYVTnlo<br />
<br />
===Chainset Extractor===<br />
<br />
The Chainset is the collection of sprockets and the peddle arm in the centre of the bike. Most bikes are fitted with a two piece chain set where each side is pressed onto a centre axle (the bottom bracket). This tool enables you to push the chainset off the bottom bracket.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B6LdZPa4M8<br />
<br />
===Pedal Wrench===<br />
<br />
This tool is for removing your bikes pedals. Please note that the right side pedal has a right-hand thread (ie. Turn anticlockwise to loosen).<br />
This can also be used as a cone wrench.<br />
<br />
===Cone Wrench===<br />
These wrenches are for removing and loosening the bearing cones on your wheel axles. You will need this tool when replacing your wheel bearings.<br />
<br />
How to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIB0tfz6ju4<br />
<br />
===Allen Keys===<br />
Set up to 10mm<br />
12mm (can remove some freehub assemblies)<br />
<br />
===Consumables===<br />
All purpose Grease<br />
Oil<br />
A limited number of chain split links<br />
<br />
====Workstand====<br />
<br />
It's a bit wobbly, so make sure the quick releases are tight. It's not secure enough to work on pedals or bottom brackets, but it's great for using to set up your brakes and gears. Best to secure your bike by the seatpost, but if your cables aren't routed along the top tube you could turn the clamp and secure it there too. <br />
<br />
This stand is fully adjustable and can hold your bike in various positions. By using this stand, you will be able to suspend your bike, enabling you to turn the peddles and wheels uninhibited.<br />
When using the stand whilst setting your gears and brakes, make sure the stand’s grip is not pressing against any of your bike’s cables.<br />

<br />
===Puncture Repair Kit===<br />
This contains the glue and patches that you may need to repair a flat tyre.<br />
<br />
Some air will naturally escape from your tyre over time, so If your bike has not been used for a while it may not actually have a puncture. Try pumping up your tyre and leaving it for an hour to see if it maintains the same pressure.<br />
<br />
After using the glue, please endure that the lid is replaced tightly as the glue quickly evaporates.<br />

<br />
== Access ==<br />
[[Image:Roden_House_-_Feb_2019.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The Blue door to the hackspace.]]<br />
{{main|Access to the space}}<br />
<br />
Street access the [[Hackspace 2.0|upstairs]] of the space is through the turquoise door on the south-east corner of Roden House. Go up the spiral stairs, then straight on when you reach the first floor.<br />
<br />
=== For people with disabilities ===<br />
[[File:Gatekeeper Workshop Back door.jpg|150px|thumbnail|right|Workshop backdoor]]<br />
The building has a goods lift that can provide access via the doors on the North side of Roden House. The 'Winners Gym' entrance.<br />
<br />
Once upstairs, the 'back door' to the upstairs workshop has been fitted with [[Gatekeeper]] RFID Access so it is possible to enter the space through the double width fire doors.<br />
<br />
=== The goods lift ===<br />
The goods lift is 5' deep x 6'1" wide x 7' high. {{note|The corridor is 4' wide at its narrowest point, between the lift and the workshop.}}<br />
<br />
== By car ==<br />
=== Park and Ride ===<br />
If you park at the [http://www.triptimes.co.uk/parkride/queensdrive.jsp Queensdrive park and ride] you can take the [http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=2774 Citylink 1] bus directly to Fletcher Gate (the buses always make a scheduled stop here). From here, follow the walking directions to the space.<br />
<br />
=== Car parking near the hackspace ===<br />
There are on-street parking spaces right outside the Hackspace on Ashley Street that are free for two hours between 8a.m - 6p.m, (but often are occupied by permit holders during the daytime). Other roads in the area have Pay & Display parking restrictions. [https://www.myringgo.co.uk/bookparking RingGo] is available on most of the streets with Pay & Display restrictions. <br />
<br />
[[File:HackspaceParking.png|thumb|On street parking areas around Nottingham Hackspace]]<br />
<br />
Parking on Robin Hood Street and Stonebridge Road is restricted to residents 8a.m - 6p.m Monday - Saturday.<br />

There is also a secure [https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1yAs9RCqNtUT-VjJJX-dZPAUiLh8PLoEs&hl=en&ll=52.96729429542972%2C-1.1883159000000205&z=11 Nottingham CityCard Cycle Hub] next to the Victoria Leisure Centre (less than 5 minutes walk from the hackspace). You will need a [https://www.transportnottingham.com/cycling/park-your-bike/ Nottingham CityCard] which has been activated for Cycle Hub access to open the gate.<br />
<br />
===Bike Routes===<br />
<br />
The route shown is from the train station, as:<br />
#It is expected that people may bring their bikes on the train<br />
#From the station, it is necessary to cross or follow the A60, the main north/south road through Nottingham. <br />
<br />
'''Note: The London Road (A60) roundabout can be very busy, and is very wide. It might be better to walk around it if you're unsure either of your route or your cycling skills, or follow the alternative route below. '''<br />

Description:<br />
#Turn right out of the station main entrace and right again onto Station Street (Alternatively, exit the station via the tram stop bridge and turn left onto Station Street)<br />
#Go along station street to London Road (A60)<br />
#Turn left along London Road (A60). Position yourself in the third or fourth lane (of four) for the roundabout.<br />
#At the roundabout, you will be taking the second exit. You want to be in the third or fourth lanes (of four) leaving the roundabout.<br />
#Exit the roundabout at the second exit. Stay in the third/fourth lane and turn right onto Fischer Gate.<br />
#Cross over the A60 onto Pennyfoot Street. Continue to the next junction<br />
#Turn left onto Manvers Street. Continue to the next junction.<br />
#Turn right onto Southwell Road. Continue to the next junction.<br />
#Go straight on (road turn slightly left). <br />
#Take the third turning left onto Alfred Street South.<br />
#At the junction with Ashley Street, you have reached the Hackspace.<br />
<br />
*Alternatively, the route below avoids the roundabout and the A60 entirely ([http://tinyurl.com/3deub9m Google Map]):<br />
#Cross London Road (A60) using the pedestrian crossing just before the roundabout. <br />
#Between the BBC building and the Premier Inn is the City Link road. Follow this road to the end, then turn left onto Manvers Street.<br />
#Follow Manvers Street to the end (junction with Southwell Road).<br />
#Follow the route from step 8 above.<br />
<br />
== By bus ==<br />
The closest bus stops are on Carlton Road, just around the corner from the hackspace. The following bus routes will stop on this road:<br />
<span>[http://www.nctx.co.uk/lilac/ Lilac line]: <span style="color:#CC33FF;background:#fff">24, 25, 27</span><br />
<br />
An alternative is the route 39 to Carlton Valley, which has a stop known as 'Roden Street' on Robin Hood Street.<br />
<br />
These buses run from the Victoria Centre (stop V1, outside Boots on the south side of the Victoria Centre). ''However, it is almost certainly quicker to walk to the hackspace from here than to get a bus.''<br />
<br />
If you travelling by bus from further afield, you will mostly likely arrive either at Victoria Bus Station or Broadmarsh Bus Station. ''In either case, it is quickest to walk from there.'' If you wish to get a bus:<br />
#From Victoria Bus Station, walk through/around the Victoria Shopping Centre to stop V1 and get the Lilac Line (see above)<br />
#From Broadmarsh Bus Station, get the City Loop bus to the Victoria Centre and change onto a Lilac Line bus (see above).<br />
<br />
== By train ==<br />
Nottingham railway station is a twenty minute walk from the hackspace and has direct trains to these locations:<br />
* Manchester in just under 2 hours<br />
* London in about 2 hours<br />
* Liverpool in around 2 hours 45 minutes<br />
* Birmingham in about an hour<br />
* Mansfield and Worksop<br />
* Grantham and Skegness<br />
* Sheffield and Leeds<br />
* Derby<br />
<br />
== By boat ==<br />
If you are travelling by canal, you can moor your narrowboat at [http://www.nottinghamcastlemarina.co.uk/ Nottingham Castle Marina]. From there it is a 20 minute walk to the train station along the canal. Follow the walking directions from here.<br />
<br />
== By air (Commercial) ==<br />
Fly to East Midlands Airport and catch the [http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=2879 Skylink] bus, which stops outside the railway station and in Friar Lane. Follow the walking directions from here.<br />
<br />
== By air (GA) ==<br />
[http://www.nottinghamairport.co.uk/ Nottingham Tollerton] (Nottingham City Airport) is the nearest GA airport, located to the east of the city. From here, you can get a taxi directly to the space, or walk into Gamston and get the [http://www.nctx.co.uk/green/ Green Line] numbers <span style="color:#00FF00;background:#fff">5, 5A or 7</span> from the Morrisons. This bus will stop at the Lace Market and Victoria Centre. Follow walking directions from there.<br />

<div>This page summarises the effort by members to produce and supply personal protective equipment (PPE) for NHS staff in response to the current COVID-19 situation.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN FILLED BASED ON CONVERSATIONS ON THE SLACK CHANNEL AND HAS YET TO BE REVIEWED, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT AS A SOURCE OF AUTHORITY.'''<br />
<br />
The Slack channel <code>#covid-19-ppe</code> is being used for discussion. The channel is a '''NO [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding BIKESHEDDING] ZONE''' and should only be used for co-ordination of the manufacturing and distribution effort.<br />
<br />
If you are able to produce face shields, please log what you can on [http://bit.ly/NottsRC2 this sheet]. The sheet will also be used for organising the collection effort.<br />
<br />
We are trying to coordiante effors for producing visors. We are trying to work to just two standard designs - one 3D printed and one laser cut. We will update this page with both designs once confirmed.<br />
<br />
== Safety & Hygiene ==<br />
<br />
Please '''do not compromise your own safety''', or that of others, in order to obtain materials or access printers / laser cutters. Follow government guidelines and stay at home.<br />
<br />
We must ensure that '''no risks at all''' are taken with regards to production of visors. <br />
<br />
Please do NOT travel in order to make these unless totally safe to do so.<br />
<br />
We must ensure that all visors come from COVID-19 free homes/workshops, handled as little as possible and, if needed, are handled in a hygienic way. If that is not the case then anything produced is not any use. If you or anyone in your household Covid-19 symptoms (however mild) or are self-isolating then any parts you supply could be an infection risk and will not be useful.<br />
<br />
Before and after handling materials ensure you wash your hands following [https://www.who.int/gpsc/clean_hands_protection/en/ WHO guidance]. Use sterile gloves, if at all possible. <br />
<br />
Some notes for hygienic packing are given below. <br />
<br />
== Collaboration & Points of Contact ==<br />
<br />
DrGandalf on Slack is our NHS contact.<br />
<br />
Geoff Hampson, one of the directors at [https://www.kitronik.co.uk/ Kitronik], is also on the Slack channel. He may be able to help with manufacturing of laser cut shields.<br />
<br />
We have a contact at NUH. <br />
<br />
Dominic Morrow is co-ordinating. <br />
<br />
Nottinhack will aim to localise to Nottingham City and will pass dispersed members to other organisers.<br />
<br />
== Laser Cut Face Shields with Acetate Sheet Front ==<br />
<br />
Co-ordination for a similar shield as the 3D printed version, using a laser cut polypropylene hand band. <br />

We have successful prints of this already. Our contact at the NHS has asked specifically for this design. <br />
<br />
Members are currently printing 3 different versions of this headband. '''Please make the first version if you can''' otherwise try the other two versions (if your printer does not print the first very well).<br />

=== Headbands ===<br />
<br />
PETG filament is being recommended for the headbands because it is more likely to survive autoclaving, but at the moment we are expecting (based on information from DrGandalf) that these masks will be going to clinics, not hospitals, and will therefore not be going through autoclaves. Instead they will be wiped clean, so PLA is also fine for printing the head bands.<br />
<br />
It may be better to laser cut headbands where possible, due to the tendency for FDM prints to produce surfaces that can harbour bacteria. More investigation and research is needed into making headbands on a laser cutter.<br />
<br />
Regarding the FDM surface issue, at the moment we are working on the principle of something being better than nothing. We are still waiting on an official directive from infection control as to what materials and approaches are approved.<br />
<br />
=== Visors ===<br />
<br />
Visors can be made from A4 transparencies, as per the first design above. They can be acquired from Amazon:<br />
<br />
* https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000YC2UTS/<br />
* https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000W4IZN8/<br />
<br />
Dominic Morrow has purchased some of these. We will know more about their suitability and properties when they arrive.<br />
<br />
The hole punch must be a '''2 hole''' punch set to '''A6''' size. The holes are then punched from each side of the A4 clear binder cover/transparency. This is shown in the image here:<br />
<br />
[[File:Hole punch instructions.png|center|400px|Instructions for hole punching]]<br />
<br />
== Packaging ==<br />
<br />
Advice from NUH contact regarding the official NHS masks: '"we can't autoclave the OFFICIAL shields we get because they have foam parts, they have to go in the bin" and that "the ones we get from the NHS centrally turn up in boxes, not bags, they're not clinically clean. They DO have a bit of film over them, like a racing drivers visor, but that's just to stop stretches in transit. What you're making as long as you take basic precautions, will work well for us at this time."'<br />
<br />
On that basis, we are assuming that provided the masks are produced in conditions where there is no known risk of COVID-19 (i.e. none of the conditions for self-quarenteen are met) and the masks and materials are handled with clean hands then they may be delivered without any special cleaning or packaging.<br />
<br />
If you are delivering shields directly to a clinic, you may also want to print and include this information and guidance sheet: <br />
[[File:3D printed face shield information and instruction sheet.pdf|thumb]]. However, this is entirely optional. <br />
<br />
== Safety Concerns ==<br />
<br />
Please do not compromise your own safety, or that of others, in order to obtain materials or access printers / laser cutters. Follow government guidelines and stay at home.<br />
<br />
FDM prints leave a lot of small microscopic holes in the surface, which can harbour bacteria. While not much can be done about this, and it isn't ideal, we have been told that it's currently a case of "anything is better than nothing", and that cleaning will be rigorous. For now it is probably a good idea to try to seal the surface of FDM prints with a surface sealer, epoxy, or with a flame if those aren't available. Laser cutting may be a better option but, again, FDM prints are better than nothing.<br />
<br />
== Delivery ==<br />
<br />
Locations known to have an interest include:<br />
* Bulwell Riverside<br />
* St Anns Wells Health Centre<br />
* Mary Potter Health Centre<br />
* Clifton Conerstone<br />
* NCGPA at Upper Parliament St.<br />
* Nottingham University Hospital<br />
<br />
'' '''NOTE''' that we are still lacking details on how best and when to deliver to these locations. If you find specific information on their level of need and preferred delivery method then please add this to the Wiki.''<br />
<br />
There may be a pick-up arrangements too, TBA.<br />

== Important Slack Messages ==<br />

The following messages were copied from Slack, as they contain particularly helpful information:<br />

:'''[https://nottinghack.slack.com/archives/C010BT8CALA/p1585162815198800 geoff hampson (2020-03-25 7:00PM)]''': My opinion for what it is worth is if we want to be able to manufacture these in the quantities that are going to be required then it needs to be laser cut. Even with lots of people 3D printing parts the capability just won't be there. The laser cut version looks ok, but I think with a big bed some parts could be combined and I think with the right design the parts could slot together eliminating the need for the plastic rivets. What will also be essential in production is processes to ensure that the parts aren't contaminated otherwise the finished items won't be able to be used for days. We can't risk ppe being supplied with Coronavirus on it.<br />

[[File:Original design.jpg|thumb]]<br />
|| This is the original design of the A4 Binding Sheet Face Shield and is the version which we have originally been asked to produce, and is therefore the preferred version. <br />
If your 3d printer is capable of printing this version quickly and reliably then please use this version.<br />
|-<br />
| [https://wiki.nottinghack.org.uk/wiki/File:Face_Shield_v1_0_2.zip The adapted design] || 60 - 90 Minutes || 10g || <br />
[[File:Adapted design.jpg|thumb|Adapted design]]<br />
|| This design is the same as the above with two very small but important changes: the walls are double the thickness and the hexagonal holes have been removed. <br />
This design will print well on lower quality, less functional 3d printers.<br />
|-<br />
|[https://wiki.nottinghack.org.uk/wiki/File:Face_Shield_-_Adjusted_Design.zip The altered design]|| 30 -45 minutes || 12g || <br />
[[File:Altered design.jpg|thumb|Altered design]]<br />
|| Whilst this design will maintain the same face to screen clearance and utilises the same punched acetates, it is significantly different from the original design. The walls are significantly thicker and the overall height of the band is considerably lower. 3D printers will be much more forgiving with this design (resulting in less failures) and will be able to print this version much quicker. <br />
If your machine has had difficulty in printing the above two designs then please use this design. <br />
If you have a well calibrated machine you may want to attempt printing this version at your machines highest speed to increase your output.<br />

<br />
=== Headbands ===<br />
<br />
PETG filament is being recommended for the headbands because it is more likely to survive autoclaving, but at the moment we are expecting (based on information from DrGandalf) that these masks will be going to clinics, not hospitals, and will therefore not be going through autoclaves. Instead they will be wiped clean, so PLA is also fine for printing the head bands.<br />
<br />
It may be better to laser cut headbands where possible, due to the tendency for FDM prints to produce surfaces that can harbour bacteria. More investigation and research is needed into making headbands on a laser cutter.<br />
<br />
Regarding the FDM surface issue, at the moment we are working on the principle of something being better than nothing. We are still waiting on an official directive from infection control as to what materials and approaches are approved.<br />
<br />
=== Visors ===<br />
<br />
Visors can be made from A4 transparencies, as per the first design above. They can be acquired from Amazon:<br />
<br />
* https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000YC2UTS/<br />
* https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000W4IZN8/<br />
<br />
Dominic Morrow has purchased some of these. We will know more about their suitability and properties when they arrive.<br />
<br />
It may be possible to cut the visors with a laser cutter. Future investigation is required here regarding materials.<br />
<br />
== Safety Concerns ==<br />
<br />
Please do not compromise your own safety, or that of others, in order to obtain materials or access printers / laser cutters. Follow government guidelines and stay at home.<br />
<br />
FDM prints leave a lot of small microscopic holes in the surface, which can harbour bacteria. While not much can be done about this, and it isn't ideal, we have been told that it's currently a case of "anything is better than nothing", and that cleaning will be rigorous. For now it is probably a good idea to try to seal the surface of FDM prints with a surface sealer, epoxy, or with a flame if those aren't available. Laser cutting may be a better option but, again, FDM prints are better than nothing.<br />

Even with lots of people 3D printing parts the capability just won't be there. The laser cut version looks ok, but I think with a big bed some parts could be combined and I think with the right design the parts could slot together eliminating the need for the plastic rivets. What will also be essential in production is processes to ensure that the parts aren't contaminated otherwise the finished items won't be able to be used for days. We can't risk ppe being supplied with Coronavirus on it.<br />

== 3D Print Face Shields with Acetate Sheet Front ==<br />
<br />
Please note that we '''DO NOT''' yet (as of 2020-03-25) have approval from Infection Control on any specific design. For the moment it is still worth experimenting and making some parts, since every day of delay counts against us, but face shields cannot be donated until approval is obtained.<br />
<br />
The designs we are primarily working with are as follows:<br />
<br />
====[https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/26241-face-shield-a4-binding-sheet-easy-punching-rc1-and A4 Binding Sheet Face Shield]====<br />
We have successful prints of this already. Our contact at the NHS has asked specifically for this design. The STL file currently being printed by many members can be [https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/26241/stls/268557_6b14e5f8-3397-4552-8ffa-d34047b0cb03/most-optimal-rc3.stl#_ga=2.177542885.1550124073.1585145144-1280391435.1585145144 downloaded here]. It uses around 10 grams of filament.<br />
<br />
The original design has some very fine details which may fail on some 3d printers. We have created an alternative version which solves some of these issues:<br />
[[File:Face Shield v1 0 2.zip|thumb]]. This amended version is currently printing well on a low quality £80 CTC A8, takes around an hour and uses around 13 grams of filament.<br />

<br />
=== Headbands ===<br />
<br />
PETG filament is being recommended for the headbands because it is more likely to survive autoclaving, but at the moment we are expecting (based on information from DrGandalf) that these masks will be going to clinics, not hospitals, and will therefore not be going through autoclaves. Instead they will be wiped clean, so PLA is also fine for printing the head bands.<br />
<br />
It may be better to laser cut headbands where possible, due to the tendency for FDM prints to produce surfaces that can harbour bacteria. More investigation and research is needed into making headbands on a laser cutter.<br />
<br />
Regarding the FDM surface issue, at the moment we are working on the principle of something being better than nothing. We are still waiting on an official directive from infection control as to what materials and approaches are approved.<br />
<br />
=== Visors ===<br />
<br />
Visors can be made from A4 transparencies, as per the first design above. They can be acquired from Amazon:<br />
<br />
* https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000YC2UTS/<br />
* https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000W4IZN8/<br />
<br />
Dominic Morrow has purchased some of these. We will know more about their suitability and properties when they arrive.<br />
<br />
It may be possible to cut the visors with a laser cutter. Future investigation is required here regarding materials.<br />
<br />
== Safety Concerns ==<br />
<br />
Please do not compromise your own safety, or that of others, in order to obtain materials or access printers / laser cutters. Follow government guidelines and stay at home.<br />
<br />
FDM prints leave a lot of small microscopic holes in the surface, which can harbour bacteria. While not much can be done about this, and it isn't ideal, we have been told that it's currently a case of "anything is better than nothing", and that cleaning will be rigorous. For now it is probably a good idea to try to seal the surface of FDM prints with a surface sealer, epoxy, or with a flame if those aren't available. Laser cutting may be a better option but, again, FDM prints are better than nothing.<br />

Even with lots of people 3D printing parts the capability just won't be there. The laser cut version looks ok, but I think with a big bed some parts could be combined and I think with the right design the parts could slot together eliminating the need for the plastic rivets.

<br />
This [[Wikipedia:Stereolithography|SLA]] 3D printer provides a higher resolution output than is possible with the [[3D Printer|Ultimaker Original+]] (which is filament based). The maximum build size is 118 * 65 * 110mm.<br />
<br />
===Stretch Goal/Additional Costs===<br />
Printed parts need to be washed. They then need to be cured, preferably in an enclosed environment with a powered filter. Costs estimated at £30, some parts may already be available.<br />
<br />
Resin costs: £20/500ml, plus wastage<br />

[[Category:Pledge Drives]]</div>LeeHutchisonhttps://wiki.nottinghack.org.uk/index.php?title=New_CNC_PC_Pledge&diff=20815New CNC PC Pledge2019-04-05T11:13:49Z<p>LeeHutchison: /* List of pledges */</p>
<hr />
<div>The Current PC running the [[CNC Mill]] is a Pentium 4 based system. It crashs a lot, is dated, sluggish and not nice to use. <br />
<br />
Anyone who has used it will tell you this. <br />
<br />
The aim of this [[Tools#Pledge Drives|pledge drive]] is to refresh the hardware with something much faster that will make the CNC machine much more responsive and nicer to use. Refreshing the hardware also gives us an upgrade path to a Mesa card should we decide to buy one in the future. The software setup will remain identical to the current system. <br />
<br />
==Current PC Baseline==<br />
This is what the new hardware needs to beat. Latency is more important that raw power hence why we are not pledging for an i7 or similar based pc. <br />
[[File:CNC Mill PC Latency test.jpeg|300px|left|thumbnail|04/04/2019 Latency Test on old hardware]]<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
==New Hardware==<br />
A new PC will be built from scratch. The build will be based around the J3455 Motherboard + CPU combo. It has got some good recommendations on the LinuxCNC forums. <br />
<br />
===Components===<br />
