Happenings in the Space, Monday August 13th

Posted on Posted in Unsorted

Tonight we had quite a few different projects going on, with a solar garden light being repaired, a CNC machine starting to take shape, EL wire kits being assembled, our new lab power supplies being tested, and wait for it… TANTILLUS BEING ASSEMBLED!

Lab power supplies being tested – yes, they’re isolated grounds and thus can be chained together in series/parallel (they’re 30V / 3A units, and the photo bellow has them maxed out, and along with the cheap-o multimeter, that’s why the numbers don’t quite add up)! These were kindly donated to the space by Nokia Canada. w00t!

Tantillus! It’s a RepRap 3D printer with ultra-high resolution (down to 50 microns from memory). Read more about it at tantillus.org. w00t! w00t!
