<div>==Overview==<br />
Welcome to team Maker Nexus! You have joined us in a great adventure with our new makerspace in Sunnyvale. You are now one of us! There is so much going on it's often hard for a new member to know where to start. Well, this page is the place. As you come up to speed we're sure you'll have one of those "I wish I'd known this last week" moments. When you do, please either update this page or put a note in the discussion section and another wiki editor will incorporate your idea into this page. We all need to do what we can to help the next person to join us.<br />
<br />
(If you have not yet joined, please do at [http://makernexus.org/membership our web site]).<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
==Member Dashboard==<br />
Our [https://www.makernexus.com/member-dashboard member dashboard] has links to all the important online systems that come with being a member. You don't have to bookmark all the sites, just bookmark [https://www.makernexus.com/member-dashboard the member dashboard].<br />
<br />
==Manager on Duty==<br />
Whenever we are open someone is the designated Manager on Duty (MoD). You will find this person's name in the middle of the MoD sign behind the reception desk. <br />
<br />
The MoD is your friend. If you have any concerns at all - about anything - find the MoD and talk to them. <br />
<br />
==Consultants==<br />
When we are open we may also have Consulting Makers and Consulting Volunteers in the makerspace. They are always available to help you in any way they can. Feel free to walk up to them and ask for help. Consulting Volunteers help offload our paid staff by answering the phone, greeting guests, giving tours, chatting with members, and helping members when they can. You can sign up to take a 3-hour shift as a CV by using the Space Keepers calendar you will find in you new makernexus.org Google account.<br />
<br />
==I've joined, now what?==<br />
<br />
# First, thank you.<br />
# Fill out a liability waiver at the front desk. Everyone must have a signed waiver on file.<br />
# We will make you an RFID badge. <br />
# Send us an appropriate head and shoulders photo for a picture ID badge, or ask the MoD to take a photo of you.<br />
# You will be provided an email @makernexus.org The invite will be sent to the email you provided us when you joined. We don't plan to send information to this email address, but it gets you access to several key resources.<br />
# Once you have your @makernexus.org email<br />
#* Read the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oyPoRdZiFIv1MEzEO4fYshs978aqh4HTQYFy8g37Jh8/edit#/ Member Handbook] that is on the team drive. (Instead of the link you could go to MN Group Drive / Business Documents / Policies and Forms / Member Handbook ) The handbook has information on our hours, our policies, your responsibilities, our anti-harassment policy, and much more.<br />
#* [http://slack.com Slack] is an online chat app. It's a way to get help and schedule classes. You can access Slack from your computer or smartphone. Install the app or use the website. Use your @makernexus.org email to join our Slack server: makernexus.slack.com <br />
#* [http://gsuite.google.com GSuite] is our online office provider. Log in using your @makernexus.org email and you will see our team drive: MN Group Drive. This is a place to find a lot of information about the organization. Also, look at our GSuite calendar - it lists events and volunteer opportunities.<br />
# At this point you can come into the makerspace any time we are open and work on any project you want.<br />
<br />
We have a number of maker challenges - you could [https://docs.google.com/document/d/10vYfx3TsCbu51uPTLSJvLLvpxTxr5QeLu6n9vL6k5n8/edit start with this one]. <br />
<br />
=== RFID Badges ===<br />
<br />
Your RFID badge opens the front door to the makerspace. It is crucial that you bring it with you each time you visit the makerspace. If you forget your RFID badge you can ring the doorbell, but the staff may take several minutes to get to the door; please be patient.<br />
<br />
The RFID badge system also lets us know who is in the shop, that they are a member, and that they have been checked off on the equipment they are using. <br />
<br />
It is important that you tap your badge on the front desk station when you enter and leave the facility. If you forget your badge, you must sign in/out on the paper sheet at the front desk. Please try to remember to bring your badge with you.<br />
<br />
[[MN RFID System|Read more details on the system.]]<br />
<br />
=== I want to use the <fill in the blank>===<br />
<br />
Before you can use one of the more sophisticated or dangerous tools at Maker Nexus you need to complete a Basic Operation and Safety Standard class (BOSS Class). These classes typically last 1.5 hours; woodshop classes cover a number of different machines at once and could be 3 hours long. There is no pre-requisite to most of these classes. Even if you have experience in using some equipment, we think you will find value in our BOSS Classes. Each class covers the safe and effective use of the equipment and any quirks or policies of our equipment in particular. Each class aims to provide you with knowledge on how to use the equipment without harming others, harming yourself, or hurting the equipment.<br />
<br />
* Boss Classes - [https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=makernexus.com_dcte9hg8697eigjkh6n4bq3rh0@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles&pli=1Check our course schedule]. If you don't see a class that you want to take then:<br />
*# Go to the appropriate Slack channel and post, "I'd like to have a class on <the equipment>". <br />
*# An instructor will respond and get a class set up.<br />
*# Once you successfully complete the class we will update our system to allow you to reserve the equipment.<br />
<br />
* If you really know how to use the equipment well, you can arrange for a proctor to do a check-off with you. You must have direct experience with that machine or a very close parallel.<br />
*# Send a Slack direct message <!-- or email and link to their emails -->to any manager (currently: Eric Hess, Sarah Kramer, or Rusty Hopewell) with the most relevant experience you have on this equipment.<br />
*# One of the managers will approve your request for a checkoff, or let you know that you need to take the BOSS class.<br />
*# If approved, the manager will help you coordinate a checkoff with one of our volunteer proctors.<br />

<br />
Come on in and use the equipment! You might check out [https://www.makernexus.com/covid1 our latest COVID Policy] for updates. <br />
===What should I make now?===<br />
We have a number of [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1LpHl49plUEYWGV8XbDaOKqnj_omlvaNP Maker Challenges] on the team share drive that will stretch you to learn different machines and software around the makerspace. You could work your way through these. <br />
<br />
You might also get inspiration from [https://www.makernexus.com/sample-projects projects that other members have made]. And when you have made something you're proud of, send a photo to info@makernexus.org and we'll add it to the projects page.<br />
<br />
==Collaboration Tools==<br />
We have several tools that serve different needs. We have standardized on the following tools at this time. As you work with us, we do not want to splinter into a plethora of other tools. Please use one of these or engage the larger group on Slack to discuss a new tool before starting to use it.<br />
<br />
Read more about the [[MN Collaboration tools|collaboration tools]] that we use in our community.<br />
<br />
==Documents==<br />
We use Google Docs for collaborative document creation. When something needs to be heavily edited, reviewed, and rewritten by a group then Google Docs is the place to do it. We DO NOT send spreadsheets, presentations, or documents around via email for comments. Using email this way causes a complete loss of control and the work is often not collaborative. Please use Google Docs for this kind of work. <br />
<br />
Once a document is stable then consider migrating it to a page in this wiki. If we need to leave the document in Google Docs, then try to find an appropriate place in this wiki to link to the GDoc.<br />
<br />
==Where To Look for Info==<br />
<br />
Suppose you want to know something but don't know where to find it. Here's a set of steps.<br />
<br />
===Google Share Drive===<br />
<br />
*The GDrive has a powerful search function. Try using it like you would a Google search.<br />
*The Shared Folder is organized into Project areas. Each Project will be titled and include a description of its purpose. For example, “Marketing” is our resource location for all outbound collateral. In that folder is a "Photos" sub-folder that holds all the photos we might use for outreach, marketing, and social media posting. <br />
*If you think we should have a new high-level folder, please talk about it on Slack so we can all agree. <br />
<br />
===This Wiki===<br />
*Use the search box at the top left. There is a lot in this wiki. When you do find what you are looking for, consider editing the wiki to make it easier for others.<br />
<br />
===Slack===<br />
<br />
*Use the search function to find previous mentions of important topics<br />
*Avoid posting pictures or documents here unless you don’t intend to refer back to them later -- important things should be in the wiki or Google Docs<br />
*Post a question to #general and someone will give you advice on where to look<br />
<br />
==Best Practices==<br />
<br />
===Keeping Your Topics In The Right Place===<br />
<br />
Currently, our main sources of passing information are Slack, the Wiki, Google Docs, and direct messaging (email, Slack DM, texting, etc). Slack is primarily used for general contemporaneous information sharing (chatting), the Wiki holds public information about us and our programs, Google Docs is for collaboration in pulling together a significant new piece of material, and direct messaging is for private correspondence with each other. Knowing what channel to use is super important for making sure the key information stays at the forefront and doesn’t get lost in a sea of messages.<br />
<br />
====We Have To Manage Ourselves====<br />
<br />
This whole system only works if we’re disciplined and consistent. If you see someone going off-topic, direct them to the right place to take that conversation. If ideas get too developed in Slack, start a Google Doc. Upload any important files or documents to the right place so everyone knows where to find them. At the same time, do not take offense if someone suggests you move your conversation to another place. We’re all responsible for staying on target to make our work easier for everyone!<br />
<br />
====Slack==== <br />
Within Slack, there are numerous channels for each topic we discuss. In Slack, you can see a list of channels and add yourself to any that interest you. If you think there’s a Slack channel we could use, make sure to check if one already exists, if not, create it! These channels are for chatting about current issues, and for getting and sharing ideas for tasks. If these discussions become more concrete and turn into ideas for tasks or projects, you then have two options: 1) If it’s a short-term task, create a new Slack channel for the people involved and keep the conversation there, then archive the channel when your task is completed, 2) create a Google Doc and share it with your team. <br />
<br />
====Wiki==== <br />
The wiki is a crowd-sourced repository of knowledge. It is not the place to have a running discussion of some topic or to organize a project team. It is a good place to publish our shop guidelines, public links to our financial plans, our privacy policy, links to Google Docs. The wiki also has areas for general maker information on using tools, materials, tips, and tricks. <br />
<br />
====Direct Messaging==== <br />
Email, texting, Slack DM, etc are best for corresponding directly with a few others so your conversation with a few does not overwhelm the many.<br />
<br />
===Stay On Topic===<br />
<br />
In any tool, a casual conversation can easily go off-topic and cause an unnecessary backlog of information and notifications to everyone else. Try to keep your conversations on-topic. If a particular discussion grows, start another discussion just for that. If you want to discuss something with one or two people, or just chat, move that to a direct message with those people and keep the main conversation as streamlined as possible for everyone else. <br />
<br />
Slack, in particular, can get very noisy, so if you find you are discussing a topic with just a few people, or that several discussions are going on in one channel, then consider creating a new channel for your discussion. Channels are free and easy to create/delete. Use #general for questions of a, well, general nature.<br />
<br />
If wiki pages become long, consider splitting off some information into one or more other pages and linking to them.<br />
<br />
If you are having an email discussion with two or three people, do not drift into other topics - start a new email chain. <br />
<br />
===Know Where To Check For Information===<br />
<br />
Important information you are looking for may already exist somewhere within our network. Knowing where to look or who to ask will prevent the repetition of information and make it easier for people to find answers. For basic questions about our organization, check our website and wiki. For specific subcommittees, see if a channel exists in Slack. And if you have questions about something specific, ask in the correct Slack channel. If one doesn't exist, post a question in #general or just reach out directly to the head of your committee or any of the board members.<br />
<br />
===Balance Communication With Taking Initiative===<br />
<br />
In order for projects and tasks to be completed, someone has to take charge. Maybe you?<br />
<br />
If you come up with an idea, it’s your job to either take on a leadership role or find someone who will oversee that project. Maybe you have a good idea but this just isn't the time to do it - everyone is busy doing higher priority tasks (including you). In this case, put it somewhere in the wiki as a good idea. Remember it and look at it again in a month. Maybe then someone else will be interested in leading the charge, or maybe you'll have time then to do it yourself. If you can't find someone who wants to take on your idea, then it won't get done unless you do it! <br />
<br />
If you are the leader of a project, it’s your job to find out what needs to be done and take initiative for it to be done. This doesn’t mean do anything you want without consulting the board or other committee members - it means knowing what you’re supposed to be accomplishing, and taking steps to do it without feeling like you need to ask for permission every step of the way. Ask for feedback, but we trust you to do what you need to do to get to an endpoint.<br />

Welcome to team Maker Nexus! You have joined us in a great adventure with our new makerspace in Sunnyvale. You are now one of us! There is so much going on it's often hard for a new member to know where to start. Well, this page is the place. As you come up to speed we're sure you'll have one of those "I wish I'd known this last week" moments. When you do, please either update this page or put a note in the discussion section and another wiki editor will incorporate your idea into this page. We all need to do what we can to help the next person to join us.<br />
<br />
(If you have not yet joined, please do at [http://makernexus.org/membership our web site]).<br />

==Member Dashboard==<br />
Our [https://www.makernexus.com/member-dashboard member dashboard] has links to all the important online systems that come with being a member. You don't have to bookmark all the sites, just bookmark [https://www.makernexus.com/member-dashboard the member dashboard].<br />
<br />
==Manager on Duty==<br />
Whenever we are open someone is the designated Manager on Duty (MoD). You will find this person's name in the middle of the MoD sign behind the reception desk. <br />
<br />
The MoD is your friend. If you have any concerns at all - about anything - find the MoD and talk to them. <br />
<br />
==Consultants==<br />
When we are open we may also have Consulting Makers and Consulting Volunteers in the makerspace. They are always available to help you in any way they can. Feel free to walk up to them and ask for help. Consulting Volunteers help offload our paid staff by answering the phone, greeting guests, giving tours, chatting with members, and helping members when they can. You can sign up to take a 3-hour shift as a CV by using the Space Keepers calendar you will find in you new makernexus.org Google account.<br />
<br />
==I've joined, now what?==<br />
<br />
# First, thank you.<br />
# Fill out a liability waiver at the front desk. Everyone must have a signed waiver on file.<br />
# We will make you an RFID badge. <br />
# Send us an appropriate head and shoulders photo for a picture ID badge, or ask the MoD to take a photo of you.<br />
# You will be provided an email @makernexus.org The invite will be sent to the email you provided us when you joined. We don't plan to send information to this email address, but it gets you access to several key resources.<br />
# Once you have your @makernexus.org email<br />
#* Read the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oyPoRdZiFIv1MEzEO4fYshs978aqh4HTQYFy8g37Jh8/edit#/ Member Handbook] that is on the team drive. (Instead of the link you could go to MN Group Drive / Business Documents / Policies and Forms / Member Handbook ) The handbook has information on our hours, our policies, your responsibilities, our anti-harassment policy, and much more.<br />
#* [http://slack.com Slack] is an online chat app. It's a way to get help and schedule classes. You can access Slack from your computer or smartphone. Install the app or use the website. Use your @makernexus.org email to join our Slack server: makernexus.slack.com <br />
#* [http://gsuite.google.com GSuite] is our online office provider. Log in using your @makernexus.org email and you will see our team drive: MN Group Drive. This is a place to find a lot of information about the organization. Also, look at our GSuite calendar - it lists events and volunteer opportunities.<br />
# At this point you can come into the makerspace any time we are open and work on any project you want.<br />
<br />
We have a number of maker challenges - you could [https://docs.google.com/document/d/10vYfx3TsCbu51uPTLSJvLLvpxTxr5QeLu6n9vL6k5n8/edit start with this one]. <br />
<br />
=== RFID Badges ===<br />
<br />
Your RFID badge opens the front door to the makerspace. It is crucial that you bring it with you each time you visit the makerspace. If you forget your RFID badge you can ring the doorbell, but the staff may take several minutes to get to the door; please be patient.<br />
<br />
The RFID badge system also lets us know who is in the shop, that they are a member, and that they have been checked off on the equipment they are using. <br />
<br />
It is important that you tap your badge on the front desk station when you enter and leave the facility. If you forget your badge, you must sign in/out on the paper sheet at the front desk. Please try to remember to bring your badge with you.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== I want to use the <fill in the blank>===<br />
<br />
Before you can use one of the more sophisticated or dangerous tools at Maker Nexus you need to complete a Basic Operation and Safety Standard class (BOSS Class). These classes typically last 1.5 hours; woodshop classes cover a number of different machines at once and could be 3 hours long. There is no pre-requisite to these classes. Even if you have experience in using some equipment, we think you will find value in our BOSS Classes. Each class covers the safe and effective use of the equipment and any quirks or policies of our equipment in particular. Each class aims to provide you with knowledge on how to use the equipment without harming others, harming yourself, or hurting the equipment.<br />
<br />
* Boss Classes - [https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=makernexus.com_dcte9hg8697eigjkh6n4bq3rh0@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles&pli=1Check our course schedule]. If you don't see a class that you want to take then:<br />
*# Go to the appropriate Slack channel and post, "I'd like to have a class on <the equipment>". <br />
*# An instructor will respond and get a class set up.<br />
*# Once you successfully complete the class we will update our system to allow you to reserve the equipment.<br />
<br />
* If you really know how to use the equipment well, you can arrange for a proctor to do a check-off with you. You must have direct experience with that machine or a very close parallel.<br />
*# Send a Slack direct message <!-- or email and link to their emails -->to any manager (currently: Eric Hess, Sarah Kramer, or Rusty Hopewell) with the most relevant experience you have on this equipment.<br />

== Kinds of classes ==<br />
At Maker Nexus, an important part of our mission is not just to provide access to equipment but to teach people to use it safely and effectively. Our motto is: "We Grow Makers." In keeping with that goal, we offer various kinds of classes on various kind of equipment to students various ages and experience levels.<br />
<br />
=== BOSS Classes ===<br />
"I want to use the <fill in the blank>." Before you can use one of the more sophisticated or dangerous tools at Maker Nexus, you need to complete a Basic Operation and Safety Standard (BOSS) Class. These classes typically last 1.5 hours; woodshop classes cover a number of different machines at once and could be 3 hours long. Most of these classes do not require any prior knowledge or experience and can be taken in any order you would like.<br />

Check-off procedure:<br />
*Send a Slack direct message to any manager (currently: Eric Hess, Sarah Kramer, or Rusty Hopewell) with the most relevant experience you have on this equipment.<br />
*One of the managers will approve your request for a check-off, or let you know that you need to take the BOSS class.<br />

<br />
=== Project Classes ===<br />
These classes have a specific thing that you build. Small, large, difficult, easy—each class teaches the skills and walks you through the process. At the end you will have something to take home, and you will know enough to try it again on your own. (Project classes are not BOSS classes and to use more sophisticated or dangerous equipment on your own, you will still need to complete the appropriate BOSS class.)<br />
<br />
:[[#ProjectList|Jump to list of project classes]]<br />
<br />
=== Skill Classes ===<br />
All of our classes help you grow your skills, but these classes are specifically designed to increase your skill in a certain area. There isn't necessarily something to take home except the knowledge that you can now do something better.<br />
<br />
:[[#SkillList|Jump to list of skill classes]]<br />
<br />
=== Youth Programs ===<br />
Day camps, week-long camps, after-school programs. All aimed at keeping your child engaging in hands-on making activities with a STEM focus.<br />

<br />
== Class schedules ==<br />
<br />
=== Youth Program Schedule ===<br />
Our list of currently-scheduled youth programs is [https://www.makernexus.com/steam-catalog-sign-up here]. You can also get to it by clicking "Education" below the title box on the [https://www.makernexus.com Maker Nexus home page] and selecting "Youth STEAM Sign Up" from the drop-down menu.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' While "adult" classes have no upper age limit, lower age limits vary. Some may be open to students as young as 8. Class listings link to descriptions on Activity Hero which will give the age range for each class and specify cases where we require that younger students be accompanied by an adult.<br />
<br />
=== Adult Class Schedule ===<br />
Our list of currently-scheduled classes open to adults is [https://www.makernexus.com/cnew-page here]. You can also get to it by clicking "Education" below the title box on our home page and selecting "Classes & Workshops" from the drop-down.<br />
<br />
=== Class and Event Calendar ===<br />
The lists described above group sessions by class name, so that you can see all scheduled dates for any class together. Our [https://www.makernexus.com/calendarmonthview class and event calendar] lists upcoming events in date order. It includes classes for all age groups as well as other events at Maker Nexus, such as lectures and meetings. You can also get to this calendar from our home page by clicking "Class Calendar" on the right hand side of the title box. The calendar comes up in a "month view" with columns for each day of the week; clicking the "Agenda" tab will give you a view with each event on a separate full-width line.<br />
<br />
{{Draft}}<br />
<br />
== Requesting Classes ==<br />
<br />
If there are no scheduled sessions of a class currently available, or none at times that fit your schedule, you can request one. We recommend that members make class requests by posting to the #class-requests Slack channel, which has the advantage that other members interested in the class may see your request and make their interest known, allowing the education team to schedule a session at a time that works for everyone. You can also make class requests by email to <training@makernexus.org>.<br />

'''Not just for kids'''&nbsp;&nbsp;Activity Hero was originally designed as a platform for organizations offering classes and camps for kids, and some of the wording on their site reflects that. Don't be misled! While Maker Nexus offers a variety of programs especially for young makers, most of our classes are primarily designed for adults. Some of those are also accessible to kids; other are restricted, for safety and insurance purposes, to persons aged 16 and over. See individual class descriptions on Activity Hero for any minimum or maximum age restrictions.<br />

== Cancellation Policy ==<br />
<br />
Cancellations and changes of class reservations are subject to our [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z-CMJXwQGdQwsJzkwfsFbLDuAnT7AZWm/view Class/Workshop/Event Cancellation and Change Policy]. The policy also covers classes cancellations and changes by Maker Nexus.<br />
<br />
== Suggestions for Classes ==<br />
Our education program is under continual development. If you have an idea for a class we could offer, you can tell us about it by sending email to <training@makernexus.org> or by posting to the #classideas Slack channel.<br />
<br />
== Class Notes ==<br />
You can find handouts for many of our classes within the [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1PJwzeOWW9RSIePfTL557wDGblx0QB8yc Education folder] on the MN Members Google Drive. Be aware, however, that some documents you find there may be in early stages of development.<br />

Filament is NOT included in the membership fee.<br />
<br />
We have a limited amount of donated filament that you can use. If you make big parts or a lot of small parts, then you should bring your own spool(s) of filament. You might consider buying an extra spool and donating it to the common supply.<br />
<br />
Currently all of the 3D Printers owned by Maker Nexus use '''1.75mm''' filament.<br />

<br />
=== Materials Recommendations ===<br />
Prusa has a nice [https://help.prusa3d.com/en/materials materials guide] with interesting information.<br />
<br />
=== Changing Filament ===<br />
Changing filaments is responsible for most clogs. These instructions will help keep our printers printing. Whenever you're changing filaments, always preheat to the highest temperature of the two filaments.<br />
<br />
When you approach a 3D printer it will have filament from the previous user in the extruder. If the reel is still there, look to see what the material was and select the appropriate temperature to Unload the Filament. <br />
<br />
Often, the previous user will have clipped the filament and taken their reel with them. The only thing you'll see is a pig tail of filament out of the top of the extruder. Trying to Unload the Filament with a temperature too low to melt the filament will not work and may damage the extruder.<br />
<br />
The rule is: '''if you don't know what material was in there before you, pre-heat to 255''' which is hot enough to melt any existing filament material and then Unload the Filament. Then load your filament at this high temperature and extrude lots of material to make sure all the old material is gone. <br />
<br />
Set the preheat temp to what is appropriate for your filament material and start printing.<br />
<br />
If you have enough 3D printers, you might designate one printer for just PETG, to avoid this issue.<br />
<br />
===Big ball of plastic on the extruder of Prusa===<br />
<br />
A large ball of plastic attached itself to the nozzle and heat block, and in removal, the wires for the thermistor were damaged. To clean up an issue like that, don't try to remove the plastic while it is cold, you will break things every time. Typically, first thing to do is to remove the filament through a normal filament unload (preheat the nozzle ONLY - no need to preheat bed & unload filament). Then, raise the z axis so you have plenty of room to access the ball'o'plastic. Bring the nozzle temperature up to 30-40 degrees over your printing temperature. Be careful, this is obviously going to have hot plastic all over the place, and it sticks to skin. Wear gloves, use tools, do not try to grab plastic with your bare hand!!!<br />
<br />
Once the hot end is at temperature, slowly begin pulling out loose plastic. What is contacting the hot end will get molten. Start scooping/pulling it out, push more plastic against the hot end, repeat. Be very careful of the wires attached to the hot end. There will be two sets, one for the heater cartridge, one for the thermistor. If you damage either, you'll be replacing them. Work the plastic blob into contact with the hot end until it starts to soften (as a blob). You can then try to start working larger chunks free, but again, don't force it, the wrapping for the thermistor, in particular, likes to bond to melted filament because it is a woven wrap. Some time and heat will free up the hot end. Once the majority is gone, cleaning up with a coarse paper towel that won't leave towel fibers is fairly easy. Again, it's HOT, be careful.<br />
<br />
So that's what you do if you're at home, if it's one of our printers, ask for staff!<br />
<br />
Typically, a failure like this is a first layer adhesion issue. If it failed after the first layer, there are a lot of potential causes. <br />
A good takeaway though: get a staff member to deal with it. There are specific ways to clean that up, but if you do it wrong, you'll break wires. In this case, we lost a $9 thermistor. Not a big deal.<br />
<br />
=== Speeding Up Your Print ===<br />
An article [https://newatlas.com/algorithms-3d-printing/52049) using filtered B-splines] algorithms to minimize 3D printer vibrations. The article claimed about a 2x speed improvement. The U of Michigan researchers now have a website [http://www.ulendo.io/ looking for beta testers] who have a Taz 6 3D printer.<br />
<br />
An article [http://projects.ttlexceeded.com/3dprinting_techniques_covid_printing.html about splicer settings] to maximize volumetric flow.<br />
<br />
=== Heating Bed ===<br />
Heated beds can have temperature variance across their surface leading to different adhesion success. One person recommended a hotter bed temperature so that the edges of the bed are at the desired temp. Here is a [https://youtu.be/yPy0zDpmc5U video evaluating different beds] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sW25xt5E6U part 2].<br />

<br />
Set the preheat temp to what is appropriate for your filament material and start printing.<br />
<br />
If you have enough 3D printers, you might designate one printer for just PETG, to avoid this issue.<br />
<br />
===Big ball of plastic on the extruder of Prusa===<br />
<br />
A large ball of plastic attached itself to the nozzle and heat block, and in removal, the wires for the thermistor were damaged. To clean up an issue like that, don't try to remove the plastic while it is cold, you will break things every time. Typically, first thing to do is to remove the filament through a normal filament unload (preheat the nozzle ONLY - no need to preheat bed & unload filament). Then, raise the z axis so you have plenty of room to access the ball'o'plastic. Bring the nozzle temperature up to 30-40 degrees over your printing temperature. Be careful, this is obviously going to have hot plastic all over the place, and it sticks to skin. Wear gloves, use tools, do not try to grab plastic with your bare hand!!!<br />
<br />
Once the hot end is at temperature, slowly begin pulling out loose plastic. What is contacting the hot end will get molten. Start scooping/pulling it out, push more plastic against the hot end, repeat. Be very careful of the wires attached to the hot end. There will be two sets, one for the heater cartridge, one for the thermistor. If you damage either, you'll be replacing them. Work the plastic blob into contact with the hot end until it starts to soften (as a blob). You can then try to start working larger chunks free, but again, don't force it, the wrapping for the thermistor, in particular, likes to bond to melted filament because it is a woven wrap. Some time and heat will free up the hot end. Once the majority is gone, cleaning up with a coarse paper towel that won't leave towel fibers is fairly easy. Again, it's HOT, be careful.<br />
<br />
So that's what you do if you're at home, if it's one of our printers, ask for staff!<br />
<br />
Typically, a failure like this is a first layer adhesion issue. If it failed after the first layer, there are a lot of potential causes. <br />
A good takeaway though: get a staff member to deal with it. There are specific ways to clean that up, but if you do it wrong, you'll break wires. In this case, we lost a $9 thermistor. Not a big deal.<br />

=== Speeding Up Your Print ===<br />
An article [https://newatlas.com/algorithms-3d-printing/52049) using filtered B-splines] algorithms to minimize 3D printer vibrations. The article claimed about a 2x speed improvement. The U of Michigan researchers now have a website [http://www.ulendo.io/ looking for beta testers] who have a Taz 6 3D printer.<br />
<br />
An article [http://projects.ttlexceeded.com/3dprinting_techniques_covid_printing.html about splicer settings] to maximize volumetric flow.<br />
<br />
=== Heating Bed ===<br />
Heated beds can have temperature variance across their surface leading to different adhesion success. One person recommended a hotter bed temperature so that the edges of the bed are at the desired temp. Here is a [https://youtu.be/yPy0zDpmc5U video evaluating different beds] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sW25xt5E6U part 2].<br />

==Filament==<br />
Filament is NOT included in the membership fee.<br />
<br />
We have a limited amount of donated filament that you can use. If you make big parts or a lot of small parts, then you should bring your own spool(s) of filament. You might consider buying an extra spool and donating it to the common supply.<br />
<br />
Currently all of the 3D Printers owned by Maker Nexus use '''1.75mm''' filament.<br />

==General Info==<br />
<br />
=== Materials Recommendations ===<br />
Prusa has a nice [https://help.prusa3d.com/en/materials materials guide] with interesting information.<br />
<br />
=== Changing Filament ===<br />
Changing filaments is responsible for most clogs. These instructions will help keep our printers printing. Whenever you're changing filaments, always preheat to the highest temperature of the two filaments.<br />
<br />
When you approach a 3D printer it will have filament from the previous user in the extruder. If the reel is still there, look to see what the material was and select the appropriate temperature to Unload the Filament. <br />
<br />
Often, the previous user will have clipped the filament and taken their reel with them. The only thing you'll see is a pig tail of filament out of the top of the extruder. Trying to Unload the Filament with a temperature too low to melt the filament will not work and may damage the extruder.<br />
<br />
The rule is: '''if you don't know what material was in there before you, pre-heat to 255''' which is hot enough to melt any existing filament material and then Unload the Filament. Then load your filament at this high temperature and extrude lots of material to make sure all the old material is gone. <br />
<br />
Set the preheat temp to what is appropriate for your filament material and start printing.<br />
<br />
If you have enough 3D printers, you might designate one printer for just PETG, to avoid this issue.<br />
<br />

When using the battery powered tools, always pull a fresh battery off the charger (and put any battery previously attached to the tool onto that same charger) when you start to use a tool.<br />
That way, regardless of what pattern other people are following, you always start off with a fresh battery, and at least one other fully-charged battery will be available for the next person who needs one.<br />

<br />
== Dust Control ==<br />
Many woodworking tools produce fine dust, which can be both a breathing hazard and a potential fire hazard. Sawdust and other debris on floors can also be a slipping hazard. At Maker Nexus we employ a number of measures to mitigate these hazards.<br />
<br />
Hoses from our central [[#Dust Collectors|dust collectors]] connect to various machines in the Wood Shop to suck up dust as it is created and filter it out of the air. When using machines connected to the dust collectors, aways check to see that the air intakes are drawing effectively.<br />
<br />
Our [[#Air Filtration|air filtration]] units can continuously circulate the air in the shop, filtering out dust not picked up by the dust collectors. A home-built [[#Air Quality Monitoring|air quality monitoring system]] incorporating multiple particle counters will control the air filtration units and also allow us to keep a record of air quality in the shop.<br />
<br />
We have several [[#Shop Vacs|shop vacs]] (as well as dust cloths, brooms, and mops) for members to use to clean their work areas and the surrounding floor. When using tools that require reservations, remember to stop work in time to use the last portion of your reserved time slot&mdash;''not'' the beginning of the next person's time&mdash;for clean-up.<br />
<br />
Finally, when you are using a machine that generates a lot of dust, or when particularly dusty operations are going on in the shop, we recommend&mdash;and may sometimes require&mdash;that you wear a dust mask.<br />
<br />
=== Dust Collectors ===<br />
When you turn off a dust collector, after it spins down, turn the beater handle through 3-4 complete rotations to knock free any material that has been pulled tight against the filter paper. If you don't do that, the filters get clogged and CFM goes down, and air quality suffers. (The beater handle is the metal handle that hangs down from the top of the filter.)<br />

<hr />
<div>This page contains links to all the shop sectors. Those pages have information about equipment in each.<br />
<br />
=Be approved to use the equipment=<br />
<br />
Our equipment can be both dangerous and delicate. Before we can let you run a machine by yourself, we need to make sure you can operate it safely and correctly.<br />
<br />
==Check-off==<br />
<br />
If you already know how to use a certain machine, then you only need to pass a short check-off test to be certified. For instance, if you say you know how to use the Epilog laser cutter, then we'll ask you to create and cut a small item while we observe you. We'll ask you about basic laser cutter safety. If you pass this check-off then you will be approved to reserve the machine. Pretty simple, pretty quick.<br />
<br />
You can get tested anytime we are open, subject to a proctor being available. You can also arrange for a proctor to give you the check-off test by using Slack. (If you don't know this easy online tool, we will help you get going.)<br />
<br />
==Class==<br />
If you have never used a piece of equipment, or feel that you need a brush up on it, we offer regular short classes to take you from "I know nothing" to "let me at it!". We will advertise these to our members. Members can also arrange for a class at a specific time through Slack. Once enough people express interest on Slack, an instructor will arrange to teach it. We are ready to offer them frequently at first as we know lots of people need these to get going. So if you want to learn to use the Prusa 3D printer, go to the #3dprinters channel in Slack and post "I'd like to arrange for a 3D printer class."<br />

==Welcome==<br />
[http://makernexus.org '''Maker Nexus'''] is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace makerspace] in Sunnyvale, California. This Wiki provides information about Maker Nexus, and also about making in the South Bay and making in general. The main contributors to this wiki are members of Maker Nexus, however anyone in the world wide community is welcome to help.

This is an open wiki for makers. It is also the repository of public information about '''[[Maker Nexus Makerspace|Maker Nexus' makerspace in Sunnyvale, California. We document a lot of our organization in this wiki. Read about us here.]]'''<br />
<br />
This wiki is about fabrication and making and a bit of hacking. It covers tools, techniques, materials, settings, and sources. Frankly, we set it up so that we wouldn't forget all the good things we have learned through hard work and getting help from our friends. Everyone is welcome to use our information.<br />

<br />
We hope that you, the reader, will [http://makernexus.org/membership join us] in growing a healthy makerspace for everyone.<br />
<br />
==Our Mission==<br />
We believe that everyone sees opportunities to improve their world but most people lack the tools and skills to make those improvements. For some people it's a better Halloween costume; for others it's a way to provide clean water to remote villages. Maker Nexus helps everyone to gain the skills and use the tools they need to realize their dreams.<br />
<br />
Maker Nexus is a non-profit with a mission to provide education in woodworking, textiles, metalworking, and other vocational skills and hobby crafts, and promote the same in the community. We do this by providing a community makerspace and training that serves all experience levels from hobbyists to professionals. Our goal is to help each person improve their skills whether as STEAM/STEM teen, life enrichment, job skill acquisition, or new entrepreneur.<br />
<br />
We also work to help other non-profit makerspaces. Our classes, project sheets, governance documents, tool research, etc are all available to others under a Creative Commons license [[Makernexuswiki:Copyrights]].<br />
<br />
It's our hope that through Maker Nexus a plethora of good things will happen to our world.<br />
<br />
Sometimes government officials ask how a makerspace can help their community at large. In response, we have a list of [[Why do we need makerspaces?|businesses that have been developed in a makerspace]].<br />

** large tables where you can work on your project<br />
** computers with design software (Adobe suite, Corel Draw end more) - our internet speed is very, very limited at this time<br />
** 10 person conference room<br />
** 12 person computer lab<br />
** 30 person event room <br />
<br />
Members may [http://makernexus.org/member-dashboard reserve equipment].<br />
<br />
In the clean area, projects are limited to things you can do over carpet. No sanding, no wet work, etc. Other work must be done in the cement floor areas. If you have a question about a project, ask any of our staff or volunteers.<br />
<br />
===Getting certified to use equipment===<br />
<br />
If you know how to use a piece of equipment, we offer a short checkoff test with a proctor. You may arrange for a test by talking with any staff members or by posting on the appropriate Slack channel (e.g. #lasercutters, #textiles, #3dprinters)<br />
<br />
If you need to learn to use a piece of equipment, no problem - we'll teach you! We offer Basic Operation and Safety Standard (BOSS) classes for all our equipment. These short seminars will take you from a no-nothing to a user of the machine in just an hour or two. BOSS classes are posted on [https://www.activityhero.com/biz/maker-nexus Activity Hero]. You can also arrange an ad hoc BOSS class by posting on the appropriate Slack channel (e.g. #lasercutters, #textiles, #3dprinters). Just post "I'd like to arrange for a BOSS class on <<put the machine name here>>"<br />
<br />
===Next Steps===<br />
We are working to open the additional "dirty shop" build tables. <br />
<br />
We have some metal machining tools, but they are not online yet. We have some planning and work to do before we can allow metal working. We do not allow welding.<br />

==Maker Memberships==<br />
We offer Maker Memberships that give access to the shop. (Different than a non-profit "membership" where you are really just donating to support the mission.) Maker Memberships are not tax-deductible.<br />
<br />
=== Equipment Use ===<br />
Some equipment is shared in real time. For example, the table saw is not reservable. When using the table saw for an extended period of time, please allow other members to work in their needs.<br />
<br />
Some equipment is reservable. For example, the laser cutters. On most of these pieces of equipment we allow members to reserve three sessions per week. If you do not have a reservation and the equipment is available, you may use it. However, you must be prepared to leave the equipment if a member arrives with a reservation. We may change the number of reservations allowed per week at any time. <br />
<br />
Our overall objective is to equitably and fairly share our equipment and space among all our members. If you have a need for extensive, extended use of some equipment, then you might need to find a facility other than Maker Nexus to accomplish your work.<br />
<br />
You can stop your membership at any time by emailing info@makernexus.org. However our makerspace really needs continued monthly memberships. Without that dependable revenue we would not be able to keep the doors open. Because of this we are not able to stop and start memberships every month. We allow a member to stop/restart their membership once every 12 months without penalty. If a member wants to restart their membership a second time, there is a one-time $150 fee in addition to the monthly membership. As a non-profit our financials are open - no one is making a fortune off your membership fees.<br />
<br />
=== Age Limitations ===<br />
*Anyone aged 16 or older can hold a membership and use the shop.<br />
* Clean shop<br />
** Under the age of 10 may not be in the makerspace except on a tour or as part of a scheduled class.<br />
** Ages 10-16 may be in the clean shop if they are in the care of a parent. They may not operate machines alone.<br />
** Over age 16 may use the clean shop. <br />
* Woodshop<br />
** Under the age of 12 may be in the woodshop ONLY if they are accompanied by a Maker Nexus instructor.<br />
** Under the age of 12 may NOT accompany a parent in the woodshop.<br />
** Ages 12-16 may only be in the woodshop if they are under the constant supervision of a parent.<br />
** Over age 16 may use the woodshop.<br />
<br />
=== Membership Types ===<br />
<br />
====Hobbyist====<br />
* $150 / month<br />
* Access to all machines with some time limits per week<br />
** Woodshop, Laser Cutters, 3D Printers, Electronics, vinyl cutter, Build Tables<br />
** Textiles: sewing, CNC embroidery, direct to fabric printer<br />
* May rent storage as available<br />
* This is the most popular level, 95% of our members are at the Hobbyist level<br />
How to do it:<br />
# Create an account at our [https://makernexus.ezfacility.com self service portal].<br />
# Use the left hand menu to navigate to Buy / Membership<br />
# Buy a membership. We will send you a welcome package with a lot of details within 2 days.<br />
<br />
====Family Add-on====<br />
* Requires one person with a Hobbyist membership<br />
* Additional children between the ages of 10 and 21: $50 / month<br />
* Second adult: $50 / month (second adult should be living in the same household)<br />
<br />
The process to set up a family add-on membership:<br />
# Have the family member register at [https://makernexus.ezfacility.com our self service portal].<br />
# Send an email to info@makernexus.org giving us the person's name<br />
# We will set up a family add-on membership and send them a welcome package<br />
# Log back in to the self service portal and use the left menu to go to Invoices / Open Invoices. Supply a credit card to pay the invoice. <br />
<br />
On a side note... When we talk about needing a number of members to become self sustaining, that assumes members paying $150 a month each. The family membership is a deal. If it is within your means, families might like to consider making a regular monthly tax deductible donation to Maker Nexus.<br />
<br />
====Entry Level====<br />
* $75 / month. <br />
* Access to workspace, textiles, computers, 3D printers<br />
* '''No''' machine reservation<br />
* '''No''' access to <br />
** CNC machines <br />
** lasers <br />
** woodshop <br />
** metal shop <br />
** heatpress/vinyl cutter<br />
** Direct to Fabric printer<br />
* No storage<br />
How to do it:<br />
# Create a user at the self service portal (https://makernexus.ezfacility.com)<br />

<br />
====Student====<br />
* $100 / month<br />
* Requires proof of current full time enrollment<br />
* Largely the same as Hobbyist <br />
* Age restrictions on some equipment<br />
How to do it:<br />
# Create a user at the self service portal (https://makernexus.ezfacility.com)<br />
# Send an email to info@makernexus.org with your name and ask to be set up with a Student Membership<br />
# Log back in to the portal, find the open invoice, arrange to pay the invoice with your credit card<br />
<br />
===Day Passes===<br />
At this time we do not offer day passes to the makerspace. We have considered this but we have several concerns. Many of our members only use the shop one or two days a month so our financial model would require a day pass to be so expensive that we feel no one would actually buy them. Secondly, if a person were to "save up" a number of projects and then buy a day pass we think they would expect a lot of machine access in that one day, which could block regular members from using the equipment. Imagine a person who buys an expensive day pass to use the laser cutters - how much time should we give them on our busy lasers? Would a day pass user expect six hours of laser time that one day? Or a day pass user comes into the woodshop - would they monopolize the space making it uncomfortable for regular members? <br />
<br />
For these reasons we do not offer day passes.<br />
<br />
===Other Levels===<br />
We have considered other Maker Membership levels that would cost more and give access to more equipment hours per week, or access to specialized equipment. We have called these levels "Pro" and "Start Up" but we have not come to any hard decisions. Your feedback will help us design these to suit the community best.<br />
<br />
=== Trade Work or Donate Equipment for a Membership? ===<br />
Thank you for thinking of this and asking, but we are unable to do so at this time. <br />
<br />
We have a large cadre of dedicated volunteers who put in a tremendous amount of their time into the makerspace, and all of those volunteers also pay their monthly membership dues. <br />
<br />
It is fair to say that if a person spent 10 hours painting a wall we should give them a free month's membership. Unfortunately if we do that we will go out of business. Instead we will leave the wall unpainted until we find a volunteer willing to do it. <br />
<br />
Similar thinking applies to donated equipment - there is a lot of expense in siting, maintaining, and creating education for members in order for an expensive piece of equipment to be useful. And that equipment is valued to the point that it brings in additional memberships to the organization. We certainly consider all donations, and we are happy to provide a 501(c)(3) tax receipt to you, but free membership months can put us into a financial down spiral that ends with closing the doors. <br />
<br />
If we were cash flow positive or had a huge endowment to fund operations, then we might consider barter for a membership. But to be transparent and honest (which is our policy) our revenue has to fund operations and we don't have enough revenue yet.<br />
<br />
We hope you understand our thinking. We must keep the doors open.<br />
<br />
=== How to Cancel ===<br />
If you need to cancel your membership, send an email to info@makernexus.org and we will process it asap. We cancel on the end of your current membership month. Don't worry if it takes a few days, we will not delay just to charge you for another month. We'll do the right thing.<br />
<br />
We allow members to stop their membership once every 12 months. If you stop/rejoin a second time within 12 months then we will charge you an additional $150 start-up fee.<br />
<br />
==New Members==<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Prusa Face Shield.png|350px]]<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Face shields are used by health care professionals to protect them when working with patients. Hospital supplies are running low. While they prefer to use commercially manufactured ones, in this emergency they are looking for alternative sources.<br />
<br />
These shields are made on a 3D printer. If you have a 3D printer, you can make these. We have several at Maker Nexus that will be running as long as we have supplies. We need volunteers come in to service the printing. We also need volunteers to assemble the final shields. We will deliver them to local hospitals.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
== Is there really a need? ==<br />
* We've heard from friends that "nurses are cutting up plastic soda bottles to make face shields, using saran wrap on top of N95 masks to allow for multi-use."<br />
* One local nurse said they are making face shields from cut up shower curtains and hot glue guns.<br />
<br />
In reviewing the current design: "The nurses were over the moon about how easily the shields can be disassembled and sterilized."<br />
<br />
We are ramping up to make 1,000 a week, maybe more.<br />
<br />
If your health care facility needs face shields, fill in this form:<br />
<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetfP2_-Wh7nZehMFQyFvElZALMGc7BLJZd_7HZfZqNEdoWoA/viewform?usp=sf_link We Need Face Shields]<br />
<br />
== 3D Print Parts At Home ==<br />
<br />
=== Use Your 3D Printer for good ===<br />
We are establishing a network of 3D printer owners who can make the headbands for us. You make them and deliver them to our facility where we do the assembly and get them to the hospitals. If you want to be part of our network, fill in this form and we will contact you:<br />
<br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5uMbl2USWKg6Qi6HovydA6lteBgnRsIBWnQcJaL4x6OdryQ/viewform I want to help]<br />
<br />
If you've signed-up and started printing already, [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Aoq7a0YbkPbGiMZGSxBgo0ySlgDWZHoaCvXc8sx9FU8/edit please keep us updated with your progress]. Please request permission to access the file if you're prompted to, and we'll respond as quickly as we can.<br />
<br />
=== What to do with the finished product ===<br />
When you have parts ready to deliver, please follow the following steps:<br />
1) Seal in plastic bag.<br />
2) Label bag with version of face shield you printed, the material printed with (Currently RC2v1 is the most up to date part) and the date you closed the bag.<br />
3) Mail to Maker Nexus at:<br />
234 E. Carribean Drive<br />
Sunnyvale, CA 94089<br />
OR<br />
Deliver if you are local and it does not violate the Shelter In Place Order - please do not make a special trip for this - but if you are passing by on your way to get essential groceries and want to drop it off, that is acceptable - there is a box outside our front door where donated parts can be placed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Please be sure you are following proper sanitation procedures when you bag parts - if possible, wear gloves and a breathing mask, wipe or spray with disinfectant if available. We want to minimize the chance of cross-contamination. After it reaches MN, we will be further disinfecting them before delivering to its end destination.<br />
<br />
== 3D Print Directions ==<br />
<br />
=== Materials ===<br />
These face shields are best done with PETG filament. A 1kg spool can make about 20 units.<br />
<br />
=== Instructions ===<br />
<br />
==== Printer Settings ====<br />
<br />
Print with PETG for ease of sanitation - IPA, Hydrogen Peroxide, Bleach, and Acetic Acid up to 10% can all be safely used with PETG.<br />
<br />
Print settings:<br />
* Temperature based on filament selection.<br />
* 3 perimeters<br />
* 100% infill<br />
* 0.3mm Draft settings in PrusaSlicer work fine <br />
* we are running our Prusa's at 130% speed<br />
<br />
=== Plans ===<br />
We are focusing production on the Prusa RC2 headband currently, based on feedback from medical professionals. If your printer is large enough to print the RC2 design, PLEASE switch production to that. If your printer cannot accommodate that, RC1 pieces are still helpful.<br />
<br />

== Laser Cut Parts ==<br />
<br />
* [[:media:Faceshield-laser.svg|The SVG file for laser cutting the shield part]] SVG File<br />
<br />
The shields are cut from 0.020 inch thick PETG sheets. Our base design fits into sheets of 24"x32". If we get donations of larger sheets, then we cut it down before using it.<br />
<br />
== Assembly ==<br />
<br />
* [https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-prusa-protective-face-shield-rc2 Prusa RC2 STL- On this page]<br />
<br />
== Help at MN ==<br />
At this time we do not need volunteers in the makerspace itself. The space is on lockdown so that we do not introduce the virus into our work area.<br />
<br />
=== Donations Needed ===<br />
* PETG filament is useful - if you aren't able to print yourself. Any color in both 1.75mm and 3mm diameter filament. It should be in a factory sealed box or in a bag with desiccant.<br />
* 3/4"-1" button hole elastic <br />
* 0.020" thick PETG film for disposable masks, sheets or rolls<br />
<br />
You can drop-off the donations at Maker Nexus, just leave it in the box by the front door of Maker Nexus. Please use appropriate procedures when packaging - including wearing a new pair of gloves and a face mask if available. <br />
<br />
You can also donate via PayPal towards COVID-19 efforts that Maker Nexus is working on. [http://www.makernexus.org/donate Donate via Paypal] to support COVID-19 response efforts by Maker Nexus.<br />

Face shields are used by health care professionals to protect them when working with patients. Hospital supplies are running low. While they prefer to use commercially manufactured ones, in this emergency they are looking for alternative sources.<br />
<br />
These shields are made on a 3D printer. If you have a 3D printer, you can make these. We have several at Maker Nexus that will be running as long as we have supplies. We need volunteers come in to service the printing. We also need volunteers to assemble the final shields. We will deliver them to local hospitals.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Make at home ==<br />
=== Materials Needed ===<br />
Donations of PETG filament are most useful at this time - if you aren't able to print yourself. You can arrange a drop-off at Maker Nexus - please seal the filament in a plastic bag with a bag of dessicant if available and leave in the box by the front door of Maker Nexus. Please use appropriate procedures when packaging - including wearing a new pair of gloves and a facemask if available. You can also donate via PayPal towards COVID-19 efforts that Maker Nexus is working on.<br />
<br />
We also need elastic, particularly button hole elastic in 3/4" widths.<br />
<br />
Additional requests:<br />
3/4" open cell foam for disposable masks<br />
3/4"-1" elastic for disposable masks<br />
.010" thick PETG film for disposable masks<br />
<br />
=== Instructions ===<br />
<br />
Print with PETG for flexibility.<br />
<br />
Print with 100% infill to make heat treatment better.<br />
<br />
=== Plans ===<br />
<br />
[https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-protective-face-shield-rc1 This is the shield we are making]<br />
<br />
=== What to do with the finished product ===<br />
Seal in plastic bag and deliver to Maker Nexus - a box for donated parts will be outside the front door. Please be sure you are following proper sanitation procedures when you bag parts - if possible, wear gloves and a breathing mask, wipe or spray with disinfectant if available. We want to minimize the chance of cross-contamination. After it reaches MN, we will be further disinfecting with alcohol before delivering to its end destination.<br />

<br />
== Plastics ==<br />
<br />
Acrylic: Cast and Extruded. Cast has a more uniform size and will produce a better raster effect. Extruded works well for cutting; thickness can vary a bit across the sheet. Cast has a paper protection on both sides that can be removed after lasering. Extruded comes with a PVC plastic protection layer on both sides that needs to be removed before lasering. Commonly comes in 3mm, 6mm, and thicker. <br />
