<h1>'''Welcome to The Maker Station!'''
 
-- Marietta's Makerspace --
</h1>
The Maker Station Inc is home to a vibrant community of local makers in Cobb County and the greater Atlanta metro area.
Here curious and like-minded folks come together to work on projects, discover new areas of interest, develop a new business idea, or simply grow their personal hobbies. The makerspace is a 100% volunteer driven 501c3 non-profit corporation. We are a valuable resource for Smyrna, Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, and surrounding metro areas.
We started our journey in 2014 to build a makerspace close to home and welcome all interested community members to help grow and shape this makerspace / hackerspace into a thriving, collaborative environment.

Chuck:

<h1>'''Welcome to The Maker Station!'''
 
-- Marietta's Makerspace --
</h1>
The Maker Station Inc is home to a vibrant community of local makers in Cobb County and the greater Atlanta metro area.
Here curious and like-minded folks come together to work on projects, discover new areas of interest, develop a new business idea, or simply grow their personal hobbies. The makerspace is a 100% volunteer driven 501c3 non-profit corporation. We are a valuable resource for Smyrna, Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, and surrounding metro areas.
We started our journey in 2014 to build a makerspace close to home and welcome all interested community members to help grow and shape this makerspace / hackerspace into a thriving, collaborative environment.

Fire Keg Foundry

2018-05-20T00:22:51Z

Chuck:

A gracious local maker donated most of the fire keg, we just need to finish assembly and buy a new crucible.
This has sparked an interest with Patty and he is taking the initiate to move this project forward!

The design follows http://www.grunblau.com/FireKeg.html

Chuck:

A gracious local maker donated most of the fire keg, we just need to finish assembly and buy a new crucible.
This has sparked an interest with Patty and he is taking the initiate to move this project forward!

The following video shows how to build a Fire Keg:

Maslow CNC

2018-05-19T23:43:04Z

Chuck:

Matthew, Tanju, Mike, Alex, and Chuck have been setting up and tweaking this DIY CNC to cut full sheets of plywood!

The Maslow CNC requires advance training and should not be used with consulting first with the members listed above. General Info: http://www.maslowcnc.com/

== Rough Notes & Lessons Learned ==

# '''Disable "Sleep"''' power option on the computer running Ground Control. CNC cutting at a large scale is time consuming, having the computer go to sleep in the middle of a job will result in need to abort the job and recalibrate
# Always '''verify Z-axis zero''' and smooth z-travel of the router before beginning to ensure the target depth can be achieved
# When adding '''Tabs''', they must meet minimum size requirements or will not be visible in application. For tabs, they need to be bigger than two bit-diameters. We've been using 1/4" bit. Twice that is 1/2". If you ask MakerCam for a 1/2" tab it will be invisible due to the bit size and so I added an extra 1/8" to get to 5/8" (0.625"). Figured that out after approximately more than one pain frustrating hour of not getting any tabs
# Preview your toolpaths (gcode, exported MakerCam.com) by uploading to ncviewer.com

== Pre-Flight Checklist ==

# Visually inspect the tensioner rigging
## Make sure that the paracord is riding on the bearing pulleys
## Visually inspect the paracord for knicks or fraying. Contact the BOD if any damage to the tensioner rigging is observed
## Make sure that there is not excessive twist in the chains
# Power up the computer and the Maslow
## Run Ground Control application and wait until it displays that it's connected to the Maslow
## Jog the positioner 1"-3" towards the center of the Maslow, or to desired position, and confirm movement
# Ensure that no metal screws or clamps (hold-down hardware) are in the path of the desired cut operation. Reposition hold-down hardware as needed.
# Visually check the router bit position
## Confirm that it is above the cut surface, z-axis reading on Ground Control should be positive value in the range of 0.050"-0.250"
# Carefully extend the router cabling and z-axis motor cable.
## Plug in the router power cable into the extension cord
# Confirm Z-axis zero position
## Adjust Z-axis zero position as needed

== Learning to Cut with the MaslowCNC:==
Following the below procedures assumes you have already attended a Maslow CNC or other CNC Meetup at The Maker Station and were given a hands on overview. Below is only for future reference:
# Navigate to MakerCam.com
## Zoom Out to find intersection of X and Y (HOME)
## Open a simple SVG file or Insert a Shape. Keep object relative to HOME.
## Select area, click CAM, Profile Operation
### tool diameter (in) 0.25
### target depth (in) -0.8
### inside/outside: Outside
### safety height (in) 0.125
### stock surface (in) 0
### step down (in) 0.1
### feed rate (in/minute) 30
### plunge rate (in/minute) 30
### direction: Counter Clockwise
### Click OK
## Click CAM, click calculate selected
## Select area, click CAM, add tabs to selected
### tab spacing (in) 5
### tab width (in) 0.25
### tab height (in) 0.25
### Click OK
## Blue circles indicating tabs can be dragged or deleted
## Click CAM, click Export Gcode, click All, click Export Selected Toolpaths
### Save to Laptop with unique filename.
# Navigate to NCViewer.com, click Upload, select file just created
## preview paths and understand motions that will occur
## If acceptable, minimize window to reference later.
## Know you can jump directly to any line of gcode shown here.

# Verify Power on Laptop, Arduino, and Shield, and Laptop set to High Performance
# Verify no metal clamps or metal screws on cutting surface
# Physically push router in towards cutting surface so bit touches cutting surface
# On Laptop, open Ground Control software on desktop
# Click Z-AXIS, raise or lower for Bit to touch cutting surface, click Set Zero, click Done
# Click HOME. The Z-Axis will automatically raise the bit and the sled will move to X Y Zero
# Click ACTIONS, click Open, select File
# Notice file will open relative to where it was positioned in MakerCam.com
## If you need to cut piece in different area, click the directional arrows to move sled.
## click “Define Home” which is a temporary home for this session only.
## Note the part moves relative to “Define home”
## Click the PLAY button to start processing the gcode and start cutting.
## Note the PAUSE button only pauses the next line of code
## For immediate needs, you can click STOP

<h1>'''Welcome to The Maker Station!'''
 
-- Marietta's Makerspace --
</h1>
The Maker Station Inc is home to a vibrant community of local makers in Cobb County and the greater Atlanta metro area.
Here curious and like-minded folks come together to work on projects, discover new areas of interest, develop a new business idea, or simply grow their personal hobbies. The makerspace is a 100% volunteer driven 501c3 non-profit corporation. We are a valuable resource for Smyrna, Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, and surrounding metro areas.
We started our journey in 2014 to build a makerspace close to home and welcome all interested community members to help grow and shape this makerspace / hackerspace into a thriving, collaborative environment.

== Info ==

General Description space...
[[File:LaserCutter Safety.png|right|text-top|400px]]
'''General Specs'''
* It is a 40 watt laser
* x
* y
*z

== Permissions ==
* Restricted Access - TRAINING REQUIRED
*
* Treat equipment as if it were your own and put away as or better than you found it.

== Restrictions ==
* DO NOT cut material containing chlorine atoms or molecules
* How to test unknown plastics to see if they contain chlorine: https://vimeo.com/1615418
*

== Basic Instructions ==

* [[Generating GCODE for the Blacktooth Laser Cutter with Fusion 360]]
* [[Generating GCODE for the Blacktooth Laser Cutter with Inkscape]]

=== Powering Up ===
# Remove dust cover and make sure area is free of obstructions both inside the laser cutter and in the surrounding area.
# Plug in and turn on the powerstrip behind the laser cutter
# Make sure the water pump is running, that water is flowing through through the feeder tubes to the laser, and that there are NO leaks!
# Power up the computer running the CAM software
# Plug in the USB connection to the controller board on the side of the laser cutter
# Turn on the Motor Controller switch on the side of the laser cutter
# Turn on the Laser Cutter switch on the side of the box to power the laser.
# Make sure the "puffer" pump and the exhaust fan is running.
# To disperse any fumes or smoke, extend the vent hose to exhaust outside underneath the roll-up door.

=== Test Alignment and Focus ===
# Launch the "CNC USB Controller" application from the desktop
# You can use the X and Y inputs in the application to jog the laser head to the appropriate position. (there is an alignment cutout placed inside the laser cutter that basically shows the zero reference point)
# It is recommended to perform a straight line cut on an angled block to determine the proper height of material for the best focus. (Z is not easily adjustable, so shimming material is the current method.)
## (Add link to sample gcode to cut test line)
# Shim your material to the property height as determined by the previous step
# Perform test cuts on your desired material and adjust power setting (potentiometer on side of laser cutter box) to find appropriate levels. (Less is better, try to find the minimum power that will make sufficient cuts to reduce burning)

=== Cutting ===
# Launch the "CNC USB Controller" application from the desktop
# Import your GCODE for your desired cut.
# '''NOTE''' Make sure you do not have any G28 commands in your gcode!! This will home the laser which will include the Z-axis. On this cutter, moving the Z axis DOWN will fire the laser. Moving Z axis UP will turn off the laser.
# Jog the laser to the appropriate position on your material relative to your model to be cut and set the new zero point with the appropriate left toolbar button.
# '''DO NOT HIT "Go to Zero"!''' See above.
# Hit the play button to execute your gcode

=== Stopping ===
If your material starts to burn, stop the processing, and immediately extinguish the flames.
# If the gcode is running, hit the Stop button TWICE!
# If the laser is on, jog the Z axis up, to turn it off
# If the laser is still on, turn off the Laser switch on the side of the laser cutter box

== Advanced Operational Knowledge ==
There are some more advanced tasks that not everyone needs to know to do XXXXX, but needs to know to troubleshoot:
#
# Autodesk Fusion laser Cutter(Water jet mode) primer: http://fusion360.autodesk.com/learning/learning.html?guid=GUID-C14B9F20-3A39-4930-971E-BDFE268384B9

== Warnings ==

* Keep loose hair and sleeves away from all moving parts.
* Beware of hot parts.
* Beware of dust, fumes, choking hazards.
* Never leave machine unattended

== Safety ==
* Do not stare at the laser, it is very bright and can damage your vision
* Do not operate the laser with the lid open
* Do not look through any cutouts or openings at the firing laser. It can damage your vision.
* Make sure the exhaust is vented as appropriate for the materials you are cutting.
* If you are cutting plastics, make sure you understand what exhaust gases will be produced. ('''Some are toxic!!''')
* Never leave the laser cutter operating unattended for any reason! '''EVER!''' This poses a very real fire hazard and should be monitored at all times.
