This is just a heads up about the laser cutter. PLEASE make sure the
chiller is operating/on when you are using the laser. IF you do not know
what the chiller is you SHOULD NOT be using the laser cutter. I found the
chiller unplugged due to something laying on the power cord causing it to
become detached. If we are not vigilant in the start up step of the laser
sudoroom will not have one due to operator error. Not wanting to be a
castigator just wanting people to know that stupid things like a badly
placed object can be the end of great equipment.

It sounds like we should secure the power cord of the chiller so it can't be
accidentally unplugged. We should also put a temperature sensor on the
coolant lines and a flow sensor, and make a lockout so that it turns off the
laser if everything is not working right (including the fan)
Who wants to help with this? I can supply the sensors and relays etc.

I'd like to help. I think that's a great idea.
In addition, though, I think it's appropriate to establish some oversight
on dangerous or very expensive equipment.
Right now, we have no system to train people on the laser cutter. I think
there should be at least a voluntary training process for the laser cutter.
I think a mandatory one is reasonable, but I'm not even proposing that. I'm
just saying that if we have a laser cutter sitting out, it seems to be in
our interest as a collective to take some responsibility for helping people
use it safely.
