Kwartzlab is always in a state of flux, with new tools, areas, projects, initiatives, facilities, processes, and so on and so forth. As a fully volunteer-run organization, all members are expected to help out. If you're keen on making the lab a better place, consider helping out with one of the projects below.
Ongoing Projects
Expansion build-out
- see #discuss-expansion in Slack
- assisting with the expansion build-out in whatever areas are needed during the project
Drink Fridge and Snack Cabinet
- see #drinks-and-snacks Slack channel
- purchasing stock and/or restocking the drink fridge and/or snack cabinet
Smelly Booth
The Smelly Booth has a location and roughed-in ventilation, but does not have a champion yet. If you would like to be able to do large epoxy pours, have a resin printer, or work with chemical processes that require ventilation, consider putting in some effort to make this a reality. See #project-fume-booth on Slack.
Vending Machine
The Vending Machine needs to be returned to functionality, so that it can start dispensing not only snacks but maker materials (Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, etc). There is also a proposal to develop an internal KwartzCoin digital currency that the vending machine could tap into via a member's Key Fob.
One-Time Projects
- sourcing and setting up a washing machine to launder lab rags and permit fabric dyeing
- building organizers for the Snack Cabinet
- find more accessible home for Loanable Tools
- re-mount bike storage hooks for bike parking (see #bikes on Slack)
Metal Shop
- purge ducting from metal shop (after sending notice in #general that such a purge will happen)
- swap low rack at entrance for disassembled tall rack
- move lights: long light over grey worktable, short light centered over rack aisle
- put hammers on peg board on rack
- determine what other tools would make more sense to go on a peg board
- move power drop over grey table
- create vertical plate storage on a rack shelf
- create chained vertical storage area for material lengths (possibly using the short rack as a basis)
