Space Updates
We've been hard at work rearranging some things in the space based on some feedback and experience working on a variety of projects. The first step has been moving the 3d printers into "the vault" (the purple box) with the xTool S1 laser cutter, Cricut Maker vinyl cutter, a scanner/printer able to handle up to 11"x17" paper, and a laptop with the software to talk to all the equipment. This way, these devices are ready to go so our members can be printing or cutting in minutes, while also freeing up more potential workspace in the main room. The next step will be to reorganize our shelves a bit to make our tools and supplies more obvious and accessible.
