Can anyone recommend a resin that I could use to replace a glass lampshade?

by Andrew R Gross

Hey everyone! I have an ornate lamp, where the lights are all inside glass flowers, and a few of them broke. I'd like to replace them by making a silicone mold of one of the intact ones and then casting it in resin. Making the mold seems straightforward, but I've never actually cast resin before, and I'm looking for advice on what resin to use. The bulbs are halogen bulbs, so they get fairly hot, and the lamps are pretty close. I'm guessing that if the resin can withstand 200 F they should be fine. Does anyone know whether this is feasible? Can anyone recommend a resin that is clearish and can withstand moderately high heat for long periods of time? Here are some pictures. They're not great, but they give you a sense of what I'm looking to replace: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cPeqyw9ZpQfBufwi9 -Andy *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

So what is everyone doing this week?

by romy＠snowyla.com

I saw Juliana build a cool twitterbot!The women's programming night looks like it's going really well. Andrew has a cool resin sculpture. Would love to see it! Me, I met some cool people at SudoRoom during hardware hack night. we chatted about Blender and I got to see some other software for light projections, but I'm moving on to a phase where I can create my own 3D models, hopefully to print them out and also animate them. I also started on doing world building in Blender using historical artifacts. There are a lot of 3D scans of historical objects that you can download for free from SketchFab https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/combination-padlock-756916ba62b7489294fc9c8… SketchFab has a post on all the open access eminent domain 3D models they have been putting up. https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/sketchfab-launches-public-domain-dedi… I'm excited about NYC next week! I'm going to be hanging out with Mitch who's in town for the HOPE conference. For fundraising at SudoRoom - so Far I'm thinking the coworking idea, and the study space for UC Berkeley students sounds like a good run. I guess I should drop in on a meeting one of these days!

by Romy Ilano

https://www.downtownsf.org/events/letsglowsf-2022/ Woo hoo! OK I have been messing around with light projection mappings for a few months here so far. I got totally distracted with other stuff but now I'm back on track. There is now an open call to artists at the Downtown SF Partnership! https://www.downtownsf.org/events/letsglowsf-2022/ Submissions are due on August 20, 2022 and"Artists’ work will be shown on 1 of 4 buildings that will be projector mapped for 10 evenings from December 2nd – 12th, 2022." And when I do my submissions I will mention SudoRoom all the way - who knows, one of them might get in! Is anyone else at SudoRoom interested as well? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Blender is progressing nicely

by Romy Ilano

My blender tutorials are progressing nicely. It was worth it to invest the time in only doing blender tutorials - all the other activity has been a big bunch of distractions. The nice thing is that I’m also up to the point of doing video editing and animations so that’s the big block I had to jump into light projections and augmented reality 🤔 I guess tonight I’ll continue my blender tutorials and erect a “hey we’re learning blender” Project page on SudoRoom !

The New Parkway Theater

by Andrew R Gross

Do you guys all know about the new Parkway theater (www.thenewparkway.com)? I went there yesterday to see everything everywhere all at once and was absolutely blown away. The movie was mine blowing, but also the theater is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I also noticed that they have a partnership with food not bombs, which suggests that we have some major community overlap. I wanted to make sure that everyone here knows about this place because I think everyone here would love it, and also because they seem to be executing a vision that shares similarities to Omni commons, and executing it really successfully. I’d like to know if anyone from Omni commons is in communication with whoever runs this theater. If not, we should set up a meeting asap, because if they have any advice for us it might help save the building. -- *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

What’s your win this month?

by Romy Ilano

Some good vibes: I am focusing a lot more on blender this month. It’s fun and it’s open source! I wish I had hunkered down and focused on blender many years ago, especially since I was into 3D printing but it’s never too late I got to the animation and key frames section. I’m embarrassed I had been using a more expensive pay program to do animation previously but now I’m doing it on open source software It’s cool, I’m pretty sure I would never have learned this much if I had organized a meetup or taught a class tbh. People in lecture classes don’t really follow through and accomplish stuff so if I do have a blender event it will be a workshop But what works for you might be the opposite !

How should we restructure meetings?

by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudoers! It's Wednesday. According to the calendar, Wednesdays at 8 PM are weekly meetings, and most Wednesdays I send out a meeting reminder. After a few really productive meetings earlier in the year, momentum has fallen off. I'd really like to see Sudoroom complete the proposed reopening. It seems to me we're stuck at this liminal space: we've got a lot of awesome creative members and a physical space many hackerspaces would be envious of, but we are struggling to exit the covid posture and address long-standing issues such as facilities upkeep and sufficient revenue generation to avoid shutting down at the end of the year. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to reestablish our momentum? I think we should assemble a team of volunteers motivated to make a 4 week blitz. I think with enough people making one big push we could kick Sudoroom from first gear to second, after which we might be able to create some self-sustaining acceleration in momentum. Thoughts? *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Current events

by romy＠snowyla.com

Well in the light of current events, I guess it would be very cool to spearhead some more blatantly feminist and LBGT supportive groups. I would prefer as little involvement in committees as possible! SudoRoom is a hacker's organization LBGT and trans outreach I'm still trying to brainstorm any trans outreach. It's looking bleak. IUD education At the moment it is dangerous even for pregnant women to exist in most of the red states. People could die from ectopic pregnancies at any time. Therefore it is crucial to educate as many young women on how to get an IUD as possible. (Condoms are insufficient) Displaced Homemakers API I am continuing learning back end on helping displaced homemakers. I think this is pretty crucial considering ow many young women enter into marriages and become stay at home moms without understanding the psychological and financial consequences of their decision. It would be very cool for people to also help displaced homemakers as they frequently fall into poverty.

getting creative work done in a bar

by romy＠snowyla.com

I have been having a hard time getting creative work done in hackerspaces lately, as I've mentioned. There always seems to be an agenda completely unrelated to doing cool stuff when I am there, so it's a relief to do cool stuff! Maybe the creative spaces can exist outside of the hackrrspace, in bars? https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/52152142782/in/dateposted/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/52153391649/in/photostream/ It would be cool to return hackerspaces to places where people can be creative again!

mediawiki underline links?

hi, does anyone know how to make it so that the wiki underlines all links? It's nearly impossible to see links without that, unless you really expect people to see the difference between black and dark blue which is ableist. I opened this file but all the things i tried did not do anything to cause links to be underlined. I think both internal and external links should be. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css

FM stereo receiver alignment

what specifically is the problem you're encountering? Do you need a stereo transmitter for testing?

Resin 3D printing?

by Marc Juul

Hi sudoers. I was wondering if anyone might be interested in having a 3D resin printing setup at sudo room? I'm thinking one of those ~$200 resin printers, a little wash basin and a UV exposure box. We can probably make the wash basin and UV box ourselves and maybe some of us can contribute a few bucks and split the cost of the printer? I know resin tends to stink and release questionable VOCs into the air, however: I have acquired a tabletop ductless fume hood. It functions by sucking the fumes through a carbon filter. I'd be happy to keep it at sudo room for the resin printing setup. It probably needs a new carbon filter but I got some carbon filter material and plan to simply re-stuff the existing filter cartridge. The hood is 35.5" wide with a 24" tall work area. It looks like this but without the bottom tray: http://acintergroup.com/media/catalog/product/cache/2/image/9df78eab33525d0… I'm thinking we can put it on the white southernmost table behind the laser cutter? Maybe a front-opening printer like this one would be appropriate? https://www.anycubic.com/products/photon-mono-se-lcd-3d-printer?variant=358… If this happens I'd like to keep access to the printer and a small supply box locked off unless folks have been checked out on usage of the printer since it's easy to permanently destroy these by not cleaning off the resin and letting the sun's UV harden it. Folks from CCL might also be interested since resin is generally autoclavable and more chemical resistant than what can be done with the melty-type printers. Anyone interested enough to help buy such a thing? -- marc/juul

I am concerned that this is ranking down the credibility of our server, and resulting in more of the emails coming from our lists being sent into people's spam folders. Is anyone available to help install and configure spam filters on our mailinglists so that we can stop sending out spam? Our email lists are an important way for our communities to function, but they're useless if they just get spam-canned at the receiving end. -jake

women's coding group - creating a displaced homemaker api

by romy＠snowyla.com

wow i'm embarrassed but i've never coded a back end api. i think i will tackle that project. the theme will be displaced homemakers and resources to help them. also there will be books such as "The feminine mistake" to help younger women and men not make the choice to become stay at home wives to avoid the displaced homemaker catastrophe https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/dislocated-worker <- starting here. I guess how should we organize the resources?

hello again, & laser cutter concerns

by Delta Ark

👋 hi everyone, I'm starting to work at sudo again (after a very long hiatus) (mostly evenings, 6-12, m-f). I'm currently working on some game, ai and architecture stuff, you can see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CelEcmAlsaq/ Very pumped to get back in the space and see what people are working on and doing. Nonetheless, I have some concerns about the laser cutter. Today, the laser cutter was being used, and, well, it, to my mind, smelled up sudo pretty significantly. I think you could also even smell out in the hall. I guess what I'd like to know is (a.) can we prevent this somehow? and/or (b.) can we have a laser cutter moratorium until we know why this is happening? I could be wrong, but I believe that improper ventilation of a laser cutter can be both long-term toxic and even short term life-threatening (if someone is cutting something really wacky, which I don't think is what was happening today; I think someone was just cutting wood, hopefully not laminated in any weird way). Anyway, yeah, I have to defer to people smarter than me on the above, but something was off today in the way the machine was working (this was about 6pm); and, personally, I found it kind of spooky. Thanks for your thoughts/help/ideas/etc. Best, AK -- Ari Kalinovski (They/Them) Delta Ark Studios <http://delta.center/>

finally getting on blender!

by romy＠snowyla.com

I finally got through my blender learning tutorial. I think I'll write a guide in comic book form eventually for people starting out. The biggest inhibitors... - for Macs, you need a special mouse. that costs about a $100 - the GUI sucks. going from command line to GUI is awful. It happens with IDEs - finding a like minded community with my values that I identify with, especially women! - I have been having a hard time doing creative work at hackerspaces lately. there always seems to be an agenda to do stuff that is not creative. It's not anyone's fault, I guess they are trying to raise funds and stuff. Eventually hackerspaces can return to becoming cool places to do creative work again once this madness is over. https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/52152056017/in/dateposted/ ^^^ So ta-da problem solved! I did blender tutorial with a group of like minded people who encourage freedom and diversity! =D Blender is very hard to learn together though. It's totally boring at first. I'm wondering how we could incorporate this into an async learning group in Blender. The tutorials are excruciatingly boring and the software has a high learning curve. 3D graphics software creates RSI in general. I was thinking of how I could made any blender projects related to creative work at SudoRoom. Maybe it would be around the robot arm art https://github.com/sudoroom/robot-arm-art

Hardware and softWEAR* Hacking Tuesday is tonight (fwd)

by Jake

Hi everyone, (You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly.) Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email) ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area at Omni Commons (adjacent to sudoroom) is also active so bring your fabric and textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing machines available. You’re also welcome to bring your own machine to have it checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway! You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake

is there an open source version of postman?

by romy＠snowyla.com

I want to share some cool apis like the bechdel test with the women coding night (and other coding nights) at noise bridge! Is it ok to use postman? I haven't done any backend work lately and wonder if there's something open source we could use. Example: https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/1417411/UzBgv9nn

laser cutter exhaust needs reworking

by Jake

The exhaust duct for the laser cutter is definitely not working. I am in sudoroom with someone who is cutting plain simple wood, and it's killing me. It's someone I invited to do the cutting so i'm putting up with it but I am eager to leave and get some fresh air. We definitely need to improve the ventilation situation somehow. 1. There is definitely leakage around the fan output, spraying smoke into the room before it even goes into the exhaust duct. It's basically a mass of duct tape because someone who was very desperate to laser cut stuff to sell on the street wanted to just throw more tape at the job until it sort of worked. We need to measure the diameter of the fan output and the diameter of the duct, and buy the proper adaptor (or 3d print it???) 2. The exhaust duct has holes in it. They have been taped over and I don't feel any leaks there, but it's definitely something to look for and fix properly. 3. the interface of the duct to the hole through the skylight is suspect! It was installed by someone I personally know to sometimes half-ass things (me) and it has not been inspected since 2014. It's a 1/4" thick piece of wood that's simply pulled up against the skylight hole and could be leaking there. We need to go on the roof and check on that. 4. even if all the above are perfect, the smoke will be exiting just above the skylight and could be very well getting sucked back into the room from the top. We should build an exhaust stack a few feet high to make sure the fumes go...away. I would say that presently the laser cutter's exhaust is so insufficient that people should not be using it until it's fixed. -jake On Fri, 10 Jun 2022, Arthur Ulfeldt via sudo-discuss wrote: > this is a 12 inch plastic duct. it appears to be sufficiently attached. the > big hole in the side not notwithstanding ;) > non conductive ducts don't need grounding. > > On Fri, Jun 10, 2022 at 1:23 PM mark burdett <mfburdett(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> I found some articles online about laser cutter exhaust and it says check >> the manufacturer's specs to make sure airflow and pressure is maintained >> (e.g. use 6" duct if it's too long for 4" to do the job).

wifi not working, new wifi access point in sudoroom

by Jake

tonight at sudoroom, i noticed that "the internet" was not working very well, and my phone was having trouble connecting at all to the wifi. And the signal strength was very weak. i tried "the internet" on the desktop computer on the 3d printer table, which is wired into the ethernet (doesn't use wifi) and since it seemed to work fine, i determined that something was wrong with the wifi. i tried power-cycling the ruckus wifi controller (singular rackmount unit that configures the many wifi access points throughout the building) and I also power-cycled the main switch (which also powers most of those access points) but nothing changed. Then peter and I noticed that the access point in sudoroom (mounted to the wood high above the wall-mounted TV telescreen) was not lighting up any LEDs on the switch, indicating that it's not drawing power from the switch or operating at all. That would explain the weak signal strength. so I grabbed a black TP-LINK TL-WDR3600 from upstairs, and i configured it (with the stock firmware) to be an access point on the network. its IP address is 100.64.64.12 and it doesn't do any routing or dhcp. email me if you want the login/password. it provides two accesss points, sudoroom-TPLINK and sudoroom-TPLINK_5 and it seems to work. the ruckus wifi controller is listed in the Network wiki but nobody knows the password (the login is probably admin) so we will probably have to factory-reset the whole system in order to get back in. If anyone makes any progress on that i would love to know. the non-functioning ruckus hardware mounted high above the TV in sudoroom is too high for me to reach, and i'm not motivated enough to get a ladder, and it's not hurting anybody up there. But if we have more of them maybe we can install another one so that the Omni Commons network can reach into here again. But for now, Omni Commons wifi is giving an "authentication error" -jake

Re: [omni-building] Omni Commons wifi not working

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello Folks, Sorry for the late reply, but it's been years now that I stay away from Google as much as I can. This address is no longer my main email address, so I don't check it that often. I could stop by tomorrow and see what I can do to get the WiFi going. Someone please Signal me the Network info (Network IP/Prefix, Gateway, DNS(s)). I don't have a card|key to access Omni; if the door is closed what should I do? I forgot the Sudomesh server area cage's lock code. :( I am assuming that if cabling tools are needed I should find some there (in the cage), correct? I will be arriving there at about noon. Thanks, Daniel Google/Gmail makes me sick.
