A capacitor has this funny behavior on AC that current leads voltage, so connecting one on a 3rd winding of an AC motor allows it to create torque by having current out of phase from the primary feed. Much smaller motors create the phase angle other ways like shaded pole that use a secondary winding to pick up power off part of the armature and deliver it to another area of the armature to create the phase angle.    Capacitors as noise filters is primarily for DC brushed motors, where the make and break of the  brushes on the commutator  creates voltage spikes that the capacitors pass through back to the motor.","",""

Each laser would have marginally acceptable airflow, but 100% of the air would be sent outside instead of the 3 blowers w/ backdraft preventers approach where it turns out some percentage of air gets blown to inside the space. Running 3 off 1 avoids having to run 20' of 4"" duct (basically same as what the zing and saur shared previously). The Nova 35 not in the cluster would have its own blower going out the 6"" duct.

Could add automatic electric dampers (would be on suction side, so leaks would be space air entering vacuum) if expect only one of the 3 lasers to be firing at a time typically.

Looking at other blowers rated in the 1500-2500 cfm range, looks like thye are all 240 volt, which I think we have had issues with in the past running on our 208 volts.","",""

Set aside a regular night (monthly, every other week, weekly – depending on volunteer availability), reserve one of the Thunders for a couple of hours during prime time, and staff it with an experienced Laser user(s).  Advertise it as “Office Hours” for anyone stuck or “not stuck, but nervous” about using the machines.  No big jobs allowed on that laser, though we could advise on the software side and those users could get in the queue for the open lasers.

Having to take the Zing outside to clean isn't very realistic. We can just use the vacuum plus air and that should avoid dust well enough. It seems to need cleaning frequently. 

The zing only needs to move to the left away from the wall. As along as there is room on the table to do and the exhaust hose is flexible enough to slide it,  that it should be ok.","",""

Also, having to disconnect stuff, move it outside and then  back inside and reconnect everything frequently is just asking for problems.  I will continue to clean in place with air plus vacuum to catch the dust.  Also, keep in mind that I'm not talking about cleaning out the grid box that way.  The grid box comes out and can be emptyed and cleaned over a trash can.  It is all of the other mechanizms such as the recently failed-due-to-dirty limit switches in the right side that need cleaning. However, since it doesn't have a compressed air nozzle blowing in the vicinity of the lens to help move soot into the suction of the air outlet, it seems that it gets dirty really fast and needs more frequent cleaning than the other lasers.  Certainly the lens needs more frequent cleaning because of this.","",""

The four board members present reminded us that it takes approval at a Board Meeting to install a new Chair.  Meaning if, @merissa , you postpone vacating your term until February, the new Chair won't be seated until late February's board meeting.  The board members were in agreement...they do not want to approve a new Chair to serve only one month.  They would expect you to fulfill the term with that short of a remainder.  So you would be stuck.  I don't know if that matters to you or not at this point, but you did say February 4th meeting was your last day.    We did have a super-fast motion + second + voice acclamation at our committee meeting to elect me as chair - even though we all know it was a burst of spontaneous enthusiasm out of relief from those present that none of them would have to take the gig.  LOL.  Afterwards, we backtracked.  No issue there.  Still no issue as far as I'm concerned.  But it does give you an out if you want to put a motion on this week's Board Meeting agenda to approve me as Chair.  Whatever you decide would either move up what you wanted as your retirement date by 9 days or prolong it until April.  I'm game either way, no skin off of my back.","",""

There's also a Param.ini file that contains pre-set materials parameters that we could populate if we want to.  You can select a material and load the settings in the Layer parameters (where you set speed and power).    The rotary engrave setting is a bit tricky.  It appears that value is stored in  one Hexidecimal value in the ""config"" file.   I think we could restore the soft.ini and config files to a ""known good"" state in order to reset the settings back to a common set of defaults.

Some things I just don't understand, and some things make me shake my head and say ""really?""   I believe that committees/areas should in some respects be partially self funded - through whatever means that they choose.  If they price themselves out of the market and die, that's on them.   I also believe each member should choose 1-3 committees and a small portion of their monthly membership gets allocated to the committees they choose.  That would also ensure that the  committees that people care about and use get more funding (as they should) and people have a direct say in where their membership dollars go. (committees like classroom would be treated differently)  It might also encourage committees to be the best they can be to encourage members to choose them.    I also believe when the board agrees to fund a $10-15,000 machine, there should be a plan in place about how the committee will ""pay that back"" in some way, or at least be able to say they'll have the money saved to buy a replacement when the machine is at end-of-life.  That's only reasonable and would ensure we're really buying things that will benefit the group and we're not just throwing money away.   So much more I could write here, but don't have time right now.","",""

In my mind, this really isn't different than providing an honorarium for volunteering to teach a class.  I don't know of the prohibition on food is a DMS policy to keep committees from buying a lot of food, or an actual law that governs nonprofits.  (I suspect the former)   As with all policies, they sometimes aren't quite right the first time.  For example, if the policy was strictly written to say  ""A committee may spend up to $50/month on Food/drink to be used as refreshments during committee meetings or maintenance events"" I don't think anyone would have an issue with that...

Just a heads up that on tonight's Board agenda are Laser's petitions to permanently ban two members from Laser, though the Board may choose to ban them from DMS completelyl.  One for theft of service ($840) and walking away from a running laser.  The other for theft of service ($100+), leaving the Laser Area for periods of 5, 7 and 15 mins while laser was running, and operating two lasers at once.  The process leading up to this was a learning one for both me and the new Board.  To close a loophole, I have placed a motion before for the Board to extend the limit a Chair can restrict access to their Area, from the current 2 weeks to the end of the following month.  I would appreciate the company of any of Team Laser, if your schedules allow.  No worries if they don't.","",""

Saturday morning: I’ve just brined and seasoned a 10 lb. whole pork shoulder overnight in classic Cuban seasonings 8:30am: Into the smoker it goes. An 18 hour bbq marathon has just begun. 

Why, you may ask?  

Because Team Laser deserves the very best for those who come to Laser Committee Meeting and Laser Maintenance Day  tomorrow! Lovingly crafted homemade Cuban sandwiches for everyone who shows up to 11:00am Laser Committee Meeting and stays to help maintain the lasers afterward.

Later I’m off to Carrollton to pick up my Cuban bread order from a renowned Cuban bakery...","","🕺 (1),dms (1)"

Impromptu laser area clean up saturday 22 3:30pm till 4:30-4:45 pm otter pop fest.
Join me in making OUR space better.
The clutter of things in laser area has gotten out of hand and will be fixed saturday if you have accedientally left items in our area pleas remove them before this as there is no personal storage in committee area minus direct permission from chair or vice chair most often granted for teachers in laser.
Decisions will be made actions taken.
We wish the machine clear and ease of use for all makers.
Thanks

They're cool, and it's perfectly reasonable to expect us to have the ability, but the fact that no one is willing to put even the smallest bit of work towards fixing them anymore tells me I shouldn't waste my time on it either.
As for buying more from thunder instead of fixing the current one, I've seen zero evidence that it'll improve the situation. If we bought another, I fully expect to be having this same conversation again in 6 months. 
There's a slim chance a cloudray rotary will perform any better, slim. If someone wants to come to the meeting, vote on it, and handle the purchase of it I'm not going to get in the way, other than to say that when it does break, I hope someone else is willing to do the work to fix it.","",""

But the time it got to me he was sufficiently apologetic, so since he's sweated it out for a few days waiting I let him know he's all ok, just not to cause problems again.

For the future, I think it's fine if someone wants to run a large job across two lasers (with two laser certified members obviously), as long as no one is in the queue and they understand that they should be ready to come to a quick stopping point and reliquish the second laser if another member comes up.

Additionally, I don't mind a user finding someone else laser certified to complete their job if they're kicked off for a safety violation. Our immediate concern is the safety of the laser and the users, and having someone else step in fixes those problems. We can deal with consequences later.

All in all, we don't have many problems in laser. I don't want to get people worried that they'll be harshly punished for infrequent mistakes. They'll be too nervous to go near the machines.

 Personally, I'll always feel that those lapses in judgement are best addressed face to face with the presumption that it was an honest mistake, and a solid explanation of why we have said rules in place. I'd hate to see the makerspace become a place where groups of people patrol the building expecting fellow members to do as they say soley because of a position they hold.","",""

Welp, the only vaguely jewelry -related items we found was a mostly empty packet of gold-colored seed beads and one of those stained glass-inset decorative mirrors. (Maybe 6” long oval.) 
Of the remains gazillion boxes and tubs, six tubs had yarns for weaving, and everything else was fleece. Like a thundering herd of sheep dashed through, flinging their clothes off as the clipclopped through the space. Some had attracted bugs or was otherwise too Icky to keep. I think all told, we downsized the herd by at least a third, and moved mass quantities of moldy boxes to the dumpster. 

More to figure out to continue the hoard reduction beyond the stuff dreamed appropriate for future classes, but at least it doesn’t feel as overwhelming as it did.","","❤️ (1)"

Hi,

We’re considering adding a new laser cutter to our scenic studio, and I see that y’all have a 130w Thunder Laser. Would anyone there be willing to give me a brief review of your experience with it?

We used to have a FullSpectrum laser, but I am at this point debating between a Boss and a Thunder…

The fusion should be up, as should donner, last I heard. Big Thunder probably needs a new bed, and blitzen is defying all my undersatanding of optics by not doing remotely what I think it should with its shadowing problem.","",""
