Shapeoko CNC machine is almost working! need help

by Jake Watters

Nicholas cleaned up the white Shapeoko CNC machine and then E and I worked on it to get it working again. I think it was donated in 2017, and it's in a very nice handmade wood enclosure. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/CNC#SHAPEOKO The spindle (cutting tool motor) wiring was chewed up by rats, but simply connecting it to a variable power supply would be fine to get it running. The actual motion controller is working fine. Does anyone know what software we should use to generate g-code to carve things out of wood or whatever? And to jog and home and run the machine? It uses GRBL firmware, there are details on the wiki linked above -jake

Carbon Fiber Dust?

by Skylar

Hi folks, I'm writing on behalf of Common Humanity Collective, a local mutual aid collective that distributes free masks and DIY air purifiers to the community. We've been looking for access to a laser cutter that has NOT come into contact with or been in the vicinity of any carbon fiber dust/residue - we don't want anybody breathing that in because we accidentally transferred some to our air purifiers! I realize this might not be possible to answer b/c so many people have worked in the space, but have people worked with carbon fiber at sudoroom before? Are there any rules allowing/forbidding it from use? Any info would be helpful, thank you! -Skylar

Deepseek sessions for about half an hour before start of Tuesday hardware hack night

by Romy Ilano

Thinking of having informal Deepseek sessions for about half an hour before start of Tuesday hardware hack night - we would be whiteboarding - we can start with quantized models of deepseek that can fit on everyone's laptop I was following the deepseek discussion, but do we have a computer that ca hold larger models? I know noisebrige is running one. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
