Hardware and softWEAR* Hacking Tuesday is tonight

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 (in the basement) 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

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

sudoroom/omni needs an email admin to help reduce spam

by Jake

I am on a few of the email mailinglists on the omnicommons/sudoroom servers, and we've been getting a lot more spam in the last year. 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
