Personally constructing Taz_Mega, combining features from both FlexReplicator and LulzBot Taz designs. Existing Taz machines can be upgraded with compatible custom metal plates. Progress documented at Aleph Objects' forum.
Alternative Office Space
Recommend we do not take the office space down the hall. We would be better off retaining one of the existing spaces, with access to plumbing.
Part-time subletting of the classroom space may also be possible.
Furniture
Workroom furniture is not 100% efficient, and the middle area is not a great classroom space. Yet, the classroom seems just fine with 3' of desks along the long walls.
Suggest we build permanent tables, shelves, and tool enclosures along the classroom walls. Done right, this could vastly improve usability of the space for hardware work, while occupying little of the classroom space. CAD models should be available soon.
IT Admin
HacDC servers suffered some downtime, due to external power failure exceeding UPS capabilities. A couple servers did not restart properly, this is under investigation.
Modern desktops/laptop hardware is currently in short supply, owing to some failures over the years. RasPi's would also be helpful. Please let others know if you can spare some replacement hardware.
