Message-ID: <CAB-QLatXZdDTqj5MQ9w-A78TABr3oAu9afXu2hwKhtSCD+23Tg@mail.gmail.com>

Tilman Dump Trailers closed in Chambersburg and is clearing out their
entire shop. The big equipment is going to be pricey, but it might be worth
checking out for anyone in the area. There may be a fair number of small
lots that go very cheaply or don't get bid on at all. It would be a good
way to stock up on raw materials, welders, plasma cutters, tool boxes, etc.
This is the first auction this size with modern equipment that I've seen
within a couple hundred miles in the last couple years.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17385553/Olson-auction.pdf

If anyone ends up planning to go let me know. I'll probably bid online and
then need to rent a truck (or buy a trailer there) to haul stuff to Jersey.

Dear Make Leigh Valley,

Proper Television is developing a new series about Makers-people with an intense passion for building all manner of contraptions for all manner of purposes. We're currently in the midst of casting characters for the series, and have been reaching out to various groups in an effort to build a Dream Team of Makers. Your organization seems pretty dialled in to this community.

Without belabouring the details, the series will revolve around our team of Makers facing off against other groups in maker-related competitions. Competitions like:

-Modifying a lawnmower into a 70mph drag racer
-Designing catapults to hurl pumpkins across football fields
-Constructing Rube Goldberg machines
-Building human-powered submarines

Our goal is to find multifaceted individuals with aptitude in numerous fields pertinent to these sorts of projects. People with experience in things like engineering, electronics, physics, welding, pyrotechnics, construction, engines and industrial design-these are the sorts we're looking to get in touch with.

Is this something that might interest you or your group? If so, we'd love to hear from you! If not, we could very much use your help spreading the message to as many Makers as possible.

Thank you for your time, keep up the great work!

	Festival
Message-ID: <CAKY0pFRQbtPCSnRBKjxrFnk2kEmFzq5vdKfYy8F7By0d-o_uuw@mail.gmail.com>

Folks,

The Da Vinci Science Center, with our partners, is organizing the first
ever Lehigh Valley Science Festival (think MusicFest, but with science).
The main event will be a science carnival on Saturday April 14th at the
Allentown Fairgrounds Agri-Plex.  We have the opportunity to have a 10' x
10' booth at the carnival site to showcase interactive things we do.  The
normal cost of a booth for a non-profit is $250, but there is the
opportunity to negotiate that or to offset it by offering an activity at
Bridgeworks that weekend.  I can work out the details of that, if there is
interest. More information is at sciencefestivallv.org

So, what do you think?  Is there interest/energy around setting up some
simple activities (soldering stations, take aparts, etc.)? At the carnival?
At Hive 4A? Both?

Dave

Dave,

Are you going to be at the space tonight?
(I plan to be there.)

What is mean by "an activity at Bridgeworks"?  Or is it pretty open to
interpretation?  Is it supposed to be the same day?
Does this sound interesting to anyone else?  Maybe we could get enough
people to staff a booth and rotate who is roaming.

I'm definitely interested in this, but have some work that must be done so
won't be around tonight. This sound like a great chance to share what Make
Lehigh Valley is doing among exactly the types of people who might be
interested. For that reason, I'd rather see us primarily where the action
is.

For more info: Carnival Exhibitor
Guide<http://www.davincisciencecenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Science-Festival-Lehigh-Valley-Carnival-Exhibitor-Guide.pdf>

Please respond if you can commit to being there.  We will need 3+ people
there at a time so we can also rotate wandering around the event itself.
 If you wish to volunteer for a shift, please specify one of the following
(1/2 hour extra for setup and take down):
1/3 day Shift: 9:30-12, 12-2, 2-4:30
1/2 day Shift: 9:30-1, 1-4:30

Matt said he could let us into the Bridgeworks space in the morning if we
need to pick stuff up and then be there for 2-4:30.
Tom, Jim, and I will be there basically the whole time.

This guy gets the thrill of making - more links to remarks and a video are

I can't make it tonight (Forks of the Delaware Bottle Collectors
Association meets the 4th Thursday), but I did update the project we
discussed last week on Jim Green's member page:
http://makelehighvalley.com/wiki/User:Bamag
I found LED tape that looked pretty good. Maybe that could be used as at
least a prototype?

Thanks for organizing the shifts Ellis. I'll plan on being around most of
the day also. Do the shifts include setup and teardown of the booth?

AEDC is supporting us financially for much of this project including
getting the booth since we're showing off Hive 4a hackerspace.

We saw Tom and Jim's work on a project for kids to put together. The idea
of selling a simple kit based on a 555 is floating around. It would be
similar to this: https://www.adafruit.com/products/496. Jim also brought up
the idea of having scholarships as appropriate. We talked last night about
setting up a mock booth in the hackerspace to get an idea of how we will
handle it.

Matthew was going to call Dave at Davinci and get some details about the
event, including what sort of an audience they are expecting so we can gear
the booth accordingly. I was asking if the booth would be indoor or
outdoor. I saw in the exhibitors guide that it will be indoor. We'll also
be requesting Internet and Electricity access to the booth.

I'm having a PCB made in which I have a few spare sq inches on 5 panels available [7.467" x 2.133"]

This could be as many as 70 1" sq boards - if you can use the 'space' for the 555 project, 
let me know & I'll 'donate' it to the hackerspace.  

[the boards will have to be square/rectangular, as I cut them apart myself]

The shift do include setup and tear down.  The actual event is from 10-4,
so shifts are from 9:30-4:30, though really that depends on what we have to
setup and if we need to stop at the AEDC Bridgeworks before and/or after.

Sorry I haven't been at the space the past two Thursdays, but it sounds
like the plan is coming together well. The Science Carnival is intended for
the general public, so the audience will likely range from infants to
octogenarians.  I suspect a lot of it will be families, so it would be
great to have one or two things for the younger set (tape an LED to a coin
cell and decorate it, build with corrugated cardboard rivets (
http://mrmcgroovys.com/) or whatever).  I'll connect with Matt about
finances, etc.

I'm in a wedding that day all, so I'll probably miss it.

 

Thursdays are pretty busy for me at the moment.  Is there a time on Thursday
that an actual meeting happens?

 

Looking forward to the next weekend event at the space.

Thanks for organizing the shifts Ellis. I'll plan on being around most of
the day also. Do the shifts include setup and teardown of the booth? 

 

AEDC is supporting us financially for much of this project including getting
the booth since we're showing off Hive 4a hackerspace.

 

We saw Tom and Jim's work on a project for kids to put together. The idea of
selling a simple kit based on a 555 is floating around. It would be similar
to this: https://www.adafruit.com/products/496. Jim also brought up the idea
of having scholarships as appropriate. We talked last night about setting up
a mock booth in the hackerspace to get an idea of how we will handle it.

 

Matthew was going to call Dave at Davinci and get some details about the
event, including what sort of an audience they are expecting so we can gear
the booth accordingly. I was asking if the booth would be indoor or outdoor.
I saw in the exhibitors guide that it will be indoor. We'll also be
requesting Internet and Electricity access to the booth.

Please respond if you can commit to being there.  We will need 3+ people
there at a time so we can also rotate wandering around the event itself.  If
you wish to volunteer for a shift, please specify one of the following (1/2
hour extra for setup and take down):

1/3 day Shift: 9:30-12, 12-2, 2-4:30

1/2 day Shift: 9:30-1, 1-4:30

 

Matt said he could let us into the Bridgeworks space in the morning if we
need to pick stuff up and then be there for 2-4:30.

Tom, Jim, and I will be there basically the whole time.

Thanks for the offer.? We haven't settled upon a specific circuit yet and, since we don't know how many we will need (we are guessing at 20-30), we more-or-less decided to use a generic board like the ones in the attachment.? The excess could then be used for other projects. ?Clearly one is from Radio-Shack while the other, essentially identical, board is?offered by?Electronix Express.? What?the timing on your project?

Is there some way you could also etch "MakeLehighValley.com" or something?
Maybe leave room for a tiny sticker?

Jim:

  I will be sending the boards out on Friday, March 9, and they will be back in about a week and a half later.

  I'll be out of town until the 7th of March, and am planning to be at the hacker space on March 8.

  You can transfer the layout you need then - a sketch and schematic are all I need - I use an old
PCB layout software package [TANGO], that I've been using for the last 20 years or so.

  As I said, I get 5 panels of 60 sq inches made, and I have a space of 7.467 x 2.133 available on each panel.

  Each panel has 6 boards on it and the spare area.

  The boards are two sided, with plated thru holes and mask and legend[s] top and bottom.

  If you need more sq inches, I could change my board count from 6 to 5 per panel - 
and order 6 panels instead of 5 - the extra panel would cost an additional $33, 
but you would have 6 sections of 2.375 x 9.750 for that $33 

  Figure a 1/16 [0.062"] loss for each cut from the saw I use.

Karl

Thanks for the offer.  We haven't settled upon a specific circuit yet and, since we don't know how many we will need (we are guessing at 20-30), we more-or-less decided to use a generic board like the ones in the attachment.  The excess could then be used for other projects.  Clearly one is from Radio-Shack while the other, essentially identical, board is offered by Electronix Express.  What the timing on your project?

I'm having a PCB made in which I have a few spare sq inches on 5 panels available [7.467" x 2.133"]

This could be as many as 70 1" sq boards - if you can use the 'space' for the 555 project, 
let me know & I'll 'donate' it to the hackerspace.  

[the boards will have to be square/rectangular, as I cut them apart myself]

Thanks for organizing the shifts Ellis. I'll plan on being around most of the day also. Do the shifts include setup and teardown of the booth? 


AEDC is supporting us financially for much of this project including getting the booth since we're showing off Hive 4a hackerspace.


We saw Tom and Jim's work on a project for kids to put together. The idea of selling a simple kit based on a 555 is floating around. It would be similar to this: https://www.adafruit.com/products/496. Jim also brought up the idea of having scholarships as appropriate. We talked last night about setting up a mock booth in the hackerspace to get an idea of how we will handle it.


Matthew was going to call Dave at Davinci and get some details about the event, including what sort of an audience they are expecting so we can gear the booth accordingly. I was asking if the booth would be indoor or outdoor. I saw in the exhibitors guide that it will be indoor. We'll also be requesting Internet and Electricity access to the booth.

Very cool, a custom PCB would look real sharp for the show and saving that
space would help keep the price on target easily.

If we're messing with the silk screen (is that what the legend is?), the
Open Source Hardware logo and/or the Hive4a logo would be worth
consideration. Our circuit is likely to work on 1 side easily, maybe the
logos and website could be on the other side.

http://oshwlogo.com/

It occurs to me that using the more generic layout of the board would mean
a bit of flexibility for someone with some other ideas for the circuit so
maybe we just need to duplicate that or use a breadboard like layout
similar to these: http://www.adafruit.com/products/589. They are 1.7" x 2.0" so
we could get something close to that in 4 times on a board x5 would be 20
boards.

I've also pondered it. I'm partial to the Ron Thomp Mendel at the moment. (
http://ronthompmendel.com/) There are a few 3D printers around so you could
probably find someone willing to print the printable parts out for you
locally.

Tony Buser is on here and he's built a rep rap or three. He's also

employed doing research or something like that at MakerBot Industries,
messing with the reprappy whiteant CNC machine and bunches of other things.
He's in Reading and is connected with the Berks CoLab so not as local as
most of us.

If you really don't have a clue and want the best you can buy and get up
and running quickly, and can afford it, get a MakerBot.  You won't regret
it.  :)

If you're good with woodworking and don't have a friend with a 3d printer,
I'd suggest building a whiteant, you can download all the plans at the
bottom of this page
http://buildyourcnc.com/whiteAnt3DPrinterandCNCMachine.aspx

If you can get someone to print parts for you, I'd suggest considering a
Mendel90 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17826 or MendelMax
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12645

If you just want a Prusa RepRap Mendel kit, I suggest

Might be worth a drive down to Hive76 Open House where different models live.

Wednesday nights.

I will be there Sunday March 4th from 10am to 6pm, but don't really
know that much about them, but you are welcome to come look.

If you really don't have a clue and want the best you can buy and get up and running quickly, and can afford it, get a MakerBot.  You won't regret it.  :)

If you're good with woodworking and don't have a friend with a 3d printer, I'd suggest building a whiteant, you can download all the plans at the bottom of this page http://buildyourcnc.com/whiteAnt3DPrinterandCNCMachine.aspx

If you can get someone to print parts for you, I'd suggest considering a Mendel90 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17826 or MendelMax http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12645

If you just want a Prusa RepRap Mendel kit, I suggest http://www.makergear.com/products/3d-printers

Since this is such a rapidly changing field, it might be better to 
wait until you can purchase all the parts you need.  Prices may 
change, or new and updated products become available when you are 
ready to make the plunge.

Exactly,

Don't buy bits that will be out of date by the time you are done.  Put your
money in a Christmas Club or a coffee can and save it up until you can go
all in.  I waited a year while I researched opportunities and ended up with
a Thing-O-Matic instead of a Cupcake, which was a major upgrade and a
Stepstruder, another major upgrade, for not much over what I had priced the
year before.  Unless you are a whiz at scavenging salvage sites, you're
into this for $1000 easy, even with a DIY model (you can spend $800 on
stepper motors alone).  Once I figured that out, the extra $300 for the
MakerBot kit was a bargain compared to my time hunting down all those
parts.

I'll bring my MakerBot to a Thursday session if you want to check it out,
just let me know

Dave

I guess to summarize ... If you want a 3d printer ... Save your money and buy one of the complete kits .... You're still going to need to put it together. Highly likely you are not going to save any money doing it piecemeal ... And you may end up frustrated in the end.


However ..... If you just want to build something from scratch for the sake of building ... Maybe loosely following someone else's design ... Improving or changing as you go ... Have at it and please share your experience!

My CNC router project is just that ... It's more about the journey than the destination.

the parts I?ve been researching are not that expensive, and from what I?ve seen, the prusa has nearly all the other models beat. 

steppers that I need are only $13 each, and I only need 5 of them

I have the mega, so that?s $65 saved. 
the ramps board is 65$, and then I need 4 driver boards, those I think are only 21 each. 

then I need a hardware pack, and that is around $150-200 or so..
then I only need a hotend, and that?s prolly gonna be another 100-200 
so for a total of 600 or so, I will have a reprap prusa based setup. 

most other setups, including the prusa are around 800-1500 for a kit.. I don?t have that kind of fundage all at once..
it will take me maybe 2 months or so to have all the parts, the nice thing about a prusa is they are upgrade friendly.

$13 for a stepper is an amazing price - do you mind sharing your source?

They're all over EBAY ... depends what you're looking for obviously ....
but I picked up a set similar to this recently

http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Stepper-motors-DIY-CNC-ROUTER-MILL-LATHE-ROBOT-/120557925061?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c11cff2c5

With shipping ... 4 for $39 so $9.75 each ...

42 oz-in ... 200 step/rev ...

  it will take me maybe 2 months or so to have all the parts, the nice thing about a prusa is they are upgrade friendly.

      Since this is such a rapidly changing field, it might be better to wait until you can purchase all the parts you need.  Prices may change, or new and updated products become available when you are ready to make the plunge.
