Yesterday at #Noisebridge several of us cleaned and organized the electronics room. You can see the change side by side. Come by to see it yourself. #Hackerspace#Makerspace
I’ve seen #Makerspace locations that have shared computer resources. They may be for devices like 3D printers, or have a specific software suite on them.
Is there a “safest way” to get files BOTH on and OFF of these machines that are shared?
Just using a thumbdrive seems super unsafe, and I wouldn’t want to log in directly to a cloud account. Google Drive links work one way but editing is heavily limited and a “guest” cannot upload arbitrary files.

We're Sequoia Fabrica, a group of experienced makers and craftspeople starting a new, volunteer-run community workshop in San Francisco.
If you are interested in things like wood-working, textiles, electronics, or digital fabrication tools we hope to have something for you!
We are excited to build a friendly space where people of all ages and abilities can come together to learn and share. We have a prospective location and some exciting ideas for classes brewing!
More to say very soon :)
For now you can follow us here, on Meetup, donate, or join our mailing list!
I now supervise 3 young (<25yr) students on different numerical projects, from master to PhD, we exchange and discuss codes daily.
It is quite striking that these new "native digital" (term allowed for people born in ~2000?) actually have HUGE gaps, and it's not their fault (neither is mine).
@franco_vazza@frameworkcomputer There is a generational bit in there, that I'm more than aware of. But, some of this does erode skills at a more basic level I would argue (as in mindset). The advent of LLMs doesn't help with this either.
The thing is, when considering the #makerspace and #makers there hasn't been a nicer time to put things together with affordable 3D printers and laser cutters, PCB services and git(lab/hub) version control to share things.
What's this? York Hackspace has joined the fediverse?
Are you in York and want access to a workshop full of tools and machines to make stuff? Well what a coincidence! that's exactly what York Hackspace is!
We'd love some boosts to help us find more of the hackspace community here on the fediverse ❤️
A fraction of a second later, I was looking for the pumpkin. These photos don't capture how the launcher jumps when it fires (but see the upcoming video).
The trigger mechanism was the hardest part. This was the third iteration (in three weeks). We continued to refine it through the life of the Orbiterator, but this was a working solution. That ring was definitely overstressed. It started out round.
The big nails were pounded into the ground in a vain attempt to keep the launcher from kicking.
In unserem Makerspace in Erfurt fehlt schon lange eine CNC-Fräse. Es gab mal eine private Fräse, aber die wurde wieder abgebaut. Nun planen wir, was man braucht, was sinnvoll ist und was das kostet (Eigenbau, Bausatz oder fertiges Gerät). https://wiki.technikkultur-erfurt.de/projekte:cnc
Wer bereits Erfahrungen mit CNC-Fräsen in Gemeinschaftswerkstätten hat, kann gern Tipps da lassen. #Makerspace#Erfurt#CNC#CNC_Fräse#Milling
Gestern war internationaler Tag der Reparatur. Was hast du repariert oder unternommen?
Wir haben einen #FreeCAD#Workshop durchgeführt und freuen uns auf viele zukünftige #Ersatzteile! Um diese Realität werden zu lassen, dürfen gerne unsere #3ddrucker genutzt werden (kostenfrei, über eine Spende freuen wir uns).
Einfach vorbeikommen kannst du immer donnerstags von 17-20 Uhr. Bei Fragen oder Wünschen, einfach mal melden!
