Member Submitted Items

  • Heating

  • 3D printer filament proposal

    • May need to be postponed until board present
    • People who don't print often don't need a whole kilo of filament
    • The proposal is to formalise the system for space filament - 4p/g of finished print = £40/kg of filament bought. Fund to maintain the printers and people who want to bring their own still can
    • Need to distinguish space from personal filament - labels, colour coded for example could be used. A limit of two reels per person by the printer per user may be needed and then use member storage for more.
    • We will need board approval, notice to members, and a deadline to label all personal filament
