Please don't unlock the emergency exit. It needs a special key to get locked again. If you accidentally opened it, please find a member who can lock it again.
Please don't leave cigarette butts or similar out on the window sill. All smokers should feel responsible to keep the area clean.
Please don't leave food in the fridge. This fridge is only suited for drinks. We will have a dedicated food fridge in G18.
Please don't put bottles in the crate, if they are not empty. Find a way to empty them ; )
Thank you so much!
Thanks to Olli and many helping hands we have started the installation of the drop ceiling last weekend. Next work day is this Saturday. If you like to help, just come by and ask Olli where help is needed. Also check the calendar for G18 Infra.
There will be a lot of shuffling at xHain in the coming months. 3D-Lab and Textiles will move to G18 and Electronics, LaserLab and Hobelhöhle will get more space. Feel free to ask your trusted Curator how you can help and be forgiving if tools are not at their place!
Our Epilog laser cutter is running again \o/
We also bought a xTool P3, which will arrive tomorrow. It will need some setup in LaserLab, which will take some time as well. It's a formidable machine, check it out on youtube.
Keep in mind, that you will need an introduction to be able to use it. Plans are, to have a few bundled intros, so that most of you gain access quickly.
The P3 has special functions, like a conveyer system and a rotary, which will require separate introductions.
Accepted proposal: @frietjov:x-hain.de to become curator in hobelhöhle
Reasoning: He would like to be one.
Accepted proposal: @laszlo:x-hain.de to become curator in hobelhöhle
Reasoning: He would like to be one.
Accepted proposal: Astrid (disastrid) becomes Wiki Curator.
Reasoning: She is motivated, has some ideas and Richard welcomes the initiative.
Accepted Proposal: xHain buys the xTool P3 Bundle for 10.529€. This bundle contains a filter system, a table, rotaries and a side extension.
Reasoning: This is a good machine, with some advantages. It had a lot of consensus in the dedicated channel. Additionally it is important to get a running laser cutter sooner than later.
Accepted Proposal: Patryk (@patryk:x-hain.de) becomes the Darkhain Curator.
Reasoning: Jascha / NoGod is leaving the position and both came to an agreement for Patryk to take over.
