Acknowledgements
Equipment maintenance schedule
Laser cutter currently experiencing ghosting and reduced cutting performance
re-alignment most likely required
when using the laser cutter make sure the head does not ram into objects
make sure head is up before turning on my machine (raise up when done as well) as the head can hit the honeycomb base during the startup homing procedure
laser cutters need flow sensors
remember to clean up when done with equipment and/or the space
remember to put away tooling when done with and/or when changing ex. drill bills and keep parts of equipment with the equipment so they don't get misplaced/thrown out.
New Business
Front door - do not wedge open it will damage the hinges
Taylor volunteers to finish all the drywall
Making techworks more trendy - improve first impressions of the space
If anyone has any ideas for projects or improvements to the space, feel free to go ahead and do them
