artillery sidewinder 3d printer nozzle

by Jake

as you may have noticed, the artillery sidewinder 3d printer nozzle assembly is removed. It was clogged and we tried to unclog it but it just clogged up again, and it was loose in the motor part of the extruder. we took it out (me and Ray? new person at sudo) and tried to heat it up and adjust the pieces but it just got ruined and the metal thing broke off. I ordered a new one from eBay and it arrived today and we can put it back together and get that printer going again. The kit came with a bunch of nozzles from 0.3mm to 1.2mm so that's interesting. If anyone has experience assembling and installing an extruder kit like this please respond, i've never done it before. https://www.ebay.com/itm/385701967616 -jake

Funds for Omni

by Alexander Papazoglou

Sudoers, Omni is short of funds for certain important functions. I've proposed that since sudoroom has some cash on hand we can provide assistance in the form of early rent. The amount is on the order of $1300. Please let me know if you have any objections. Alex

notes from last nights sudoroom meeting

by Jake

https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2024-01-31 here are the notes from last nights meeting, mostly a transcript of the discussions we had. If you're in there please make sure your words are representative enough of what you said, and login to the wiki if you want to make edits. If you don't have a login you can request one and it will be approved. We took a vote on the Peoples Programs proposal and six people blocked it, so our delegate should represent Sudoroom as a "block" of the proposal at the delegates meeting. -jake

eWaste or hackable

by Hilary Naylor

Hello, I have three devices that might be either eWaste or hackable. If anyone is interested in any of them, I can leave them in Sudoroom on Tuesday morning. 1) iPad 9.5" (diagonal) iOS 9.3.5 Model MC960LL/A (cannot install zoom, which is what I bought it for) 2) Lenovo laptop N22 Model 80S6 4GB RAM 60GB HD Win-10 Home (too slow, maybe it can run some slim version of linux?) 3) Dell All-in-one desktop Inspiron One 2330, service tag 60YSWS1 8GB RAM. (The owner asked me to donate it, but there is a serious problem with the display -- it takes 20-30 min to "warm up", that is, the display shows only colored lines for that time, with gradual clearing to show the desktop. It is not really "warm up" because if it goes to sleep, it takes another 20-30 min to clear the "fuzz". The only way to use it is to set Sleep to "never") The Dell is very heavy, so I won't bring it in unless someone is seriously interested. thanks Hilary --- Hilary Naylor, Ph.D. www.a2zed.us Oakland CA

reviving my light projection projects

by Romy Ilano

Had a great, interactive session at SudoRoom last night. Tuesday was great, creation and working on small fun projects and interacting with each other is why i come ot the Omni. - Reviving my light projection mapping project https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping - Focusing on completing projects while I'm at SudoRoom as well as interacting with others - Collaborated with folks on music, thinking of using the open source Godot Game Engine to build a music and animation control software piece so that we can project onto the walls of SudoRoom while we hack! I am putting a pause on social media stuff or at least cutting back on it. For the past few months I've just come Tuesdays and have been doing social media to help promote SUdoROom. While that's fun, and that could be a hardware project in and of itself, I really like coming to the Omni to create. I am part of the Omni solely for SudoRoom! and creation. Not so much all the other stuff, like meetings. Glad to see SudoRoom still has the stoke. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

stuff loosely planned next week and Good vibes

by Romy Ilano

we are stronger together <3 monday 1/29 - women and non binary night - https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/298454007/ a wrap up for anyone who participated in the global game jam at the made in downtown oakland find ways to make algorithms for job interviews fun - maybe divorce them from job interviews tuesday 1/30 - hardware hack night / fixit i might come a bit earlier - have job interviews, can't stay until midnight anymore =( but a similar theme to monday. anyone who went to the global game jam, a catch up https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/298477508/ later on in the month maybe have a blender workshop. we had a good run on the monday but i think this one would be super super super basic. we'd do karate kid style review of how to navigate the blender ux, how to make a sudoroom cube, and add graphics as flat planes. eventually i'd liek to have a wednesday/thursday evening centered around stuff like gaming. maybe a godot game engine meetup (it's the open source game engine) ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
