## notes


### stabilizing 3D printers

stabilizing garnet (3d printer)
reduce shaking, improve prints
need someone to own it? to motivate
test pattern before and post-stabilization
brandon's
ruby (3d printer) donated by david who no longer wanted it
wavy result even on ths table
stabilization
is it worth it?
stabilizing the table?
vibration/motion isolation complexity
wire cable, turn buckles corner to corner
to make box as rigid as possible
...
rubber feet
concrete base
stabilizng shelving unit -> tight box
put bits of neoprene on floor
cut up neoprene
density for absorbing movement
TPU(?)
putting feet under printers
flexibility/rigidity combination
dynema(?) rope, $0.3/foot, holds 11 lbs
instead of U clamps turn buckles
knots, crank, create compression
light, strong
expensive? in sheets
rope not expensive
high usage, ropes for rigging

radical honesty
radical acceptance


### dweb/ccc-style event

- live streamed presentation, a few new people came to the space (basement)
    - including danny (BwoB), bob
- regular monthly meetups related to dweb NY/NYC?
- event phone for dweb/ccc conferences now in basement


### servers +/ biotech without borders

- potentially bringing BwoB to woodbine/basement? (if anything happens)


### misc

- myf | just a thought: hackerspace cross-pollination, we can consort with other spaces, regular visits to/from other spaces
- lippe | let's map out the electrical circuits
    - needs wiki (hedgedoc) access
- myf | water leak, electronics equipment (VCR, battery) got soaked
    - water damage in ceiling
    - chloroplasts?
- cel | git hosting: gitea is becoming corporatized
    - git https://git.woodbine.nyc/
    - gitea https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/
    - we can upgrade to a fork: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo
    - backups?
    - main data cared about: wiki
    - upgrades
    - cel and micro may look at
    - myf: git-ssb


### ventilation (Lippe)

round duct work massively cheaper (1/2+) than square ductwork
Home Depot & Lowes pricing 12in by 5ft tubes ~$26
distance from opening to roof about 14ft: 3 tubes to roof
-> bare minimum $80 for conduit
manifold to connect to fan on top
ballpark ~$100 project
too large or too small... motor strain
8in could be cheaper
next step: fan


### gym / basement ceiling

- the ceiling is falling
    - do we rip some of it out?
    - so much dirt ☠️
    - a beam is splitting? ☠️☠️☠️
        - we're all going to die? ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
            - should we use this to support cannibalism habits?
        - micro's dad might be able to take a look
- it seems the small dumbells cause the shaking
- also, water damage and leaking


### internet

- myf is running ethernet all around, lots of crimping cables
    - basement network is 100% nycmesh
- wip adding a switch, more network connections
    - more advanced switch vlan (un)tagging
    - mesh routable ip addresses - complexity
    - want 2.4ghz network for mesh AP - older devices; currently only 5ghz and ethernet
    - RPi for 2.4ghz?
    - investigate bandwidth fluctations; do we need a backup (verizon)?


### basement homepage

- basement.woodbine.nyc home page doesn't contain useful info (Main_Page is not discoverable)
    - redirect to "https://basement.woodbine.nyc/Main_Page"?
    - tl;dr: basement has no face (nor discoverability)
- coordinate with main site redesign?


### electronics lab + 3d printing equipment incoming

- devin got a bunch of stuff for the basement
    - filament dry box, brass threaded inserts for screwing together prints
    - pots, caps, resistors
    - general soldering equipment
- still need air filter
- need counter high-bench, myf may build
    - legs
    - spare wood lying around: is jesse's
- small bench variable power supply from micro
