 ----
+===Goals===
+  * promote the use of 3D printing technologies within the makerspace - software, hardware, and 3D printed products
+  * showcase the makerspace's 3D printing
+===Plan===
+  * collect / adapt / develop a training curriculum
+  * inventory and document printers on this page, linking to firmware, modified parts, etc.
+  * create real-life FIXME tags, with a spot to write-in the issue, and a way to affix them to an item
+  * organize group-purchase filament orders
+  * establish a regular meeting schedule
+  * establish LMN-purchased stock, which can be paid for per-print via Cura / Repetier cost estimation
+  * purchase / install fast-heating bed heaters on all printers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/191353869307?lpid=82
+  * maintain two or more working 3D printers at all times.
+===Ongoing Projects===
+  * 3D print a buildlog.net laser cutter rotational axis: http://www.buildlog.net/blog/2011/04/open-source-rotational-adapter-part-1/
+    * Progress: not started
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): download the assembly STEP file, and export each printed part into an STL http://www.buildlog.net/wiki/doku.php?id=rotational
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): print parts
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): assemble and install in laser, connect motor to electronics
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): modify laser cutter firmware for rotational axis
+  * Get the Makerfarm printing reliably
+    * Progress: Hot end installed and tested.  Extruding works!
+      - Question: New hot end topped out at 206 degrees, is that a firmware issue?
+    * Progress: Jerry Fahner: Longer (blue) probe arm installed, arm angles and offsets determined, firmware reflashed, test print completed. Standard MakerFarm thermister table used but seems to work OK.
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): Some tuning needed with Y-stop. The test print caused chatter when homing Y.
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): Fan over-cools hot end. A piece of tape on fan helped but a shroud is needed. Reversing fan may help.
+    * Progress: [[user:zimmer62:start|Joe Zimmerman]]: soaked magma hotend in acetone, cleaned with fire, polished and is soaking again in the glass container.
+  * Refurbish the solidoodle 2 3D printer
+    * Looking for someone to help with the completion of this project.
+    * Progress: [[user:zimmer62:start|Joe Zimmerman]] has started another design for laser-cut base to contain power supply, MEGA / Ramps, Solid State Relay, Terminal Block etc.  A mount for the electronics, and LCD also needs to be created, possibly into the front of the base.
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): laser cut a test to verify that the dimensions are correct, then laser cut the final version - ply? acrylic?
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): install power supply, electronics, LCD
+    * FIXME (claimed): run motor and hotend wiring
+       - A crimper and ends to put new ends on the motors and existing wiring are at the space.
+       - The fan will need a DC-DC power step down converter which is on hand at the space, but needs to be set for 12volts
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): laser cut improved magnetic side walls
+  * Build a [[https://wolfmanjm.github.io/wolfstock/ | Wolfstock]] extra-large Delta 3D printer
+    * Progress: Collecting parts
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): print two motor brackets
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): pull 3 NEMA-23 motors from the parts area
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): acquire makerslide
+  * Improve the frame of the Rostock by replacing it's MDF with aluminum extrusion.  Some 3D printed parts may need to be replaced.
+    * Progress: establish bill of materials
+    * FIXME (unclaimed): print http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:516447/
