The Tampa Hackerspace Wood Workers Guild is a group of members who gather to share knowledge and techniques, work on projects, and help keep the wood shop in good working order. They meet weekly on Thursday nights for about 30 minutes. (As of March 2017.)

Half the time is spent discussing a technique, and half the time is spent on shop improvements.

As with all Hackerspace meetups, this is a great place to bounce design ideas, etc. with other like-minded people.

Ideas for beginner projects would be very helpful - something that take no longer than 3-4 hours that would actually be useful or giftable. I don't want to have people making things that will end up in the trash if it can be avoided.

== Meetup Minutes ==
2017-03-16 -- We reconditioned the blades on most of our hand planes and began building a stand for them to live on.

The Wanhao Duplicator i3 is our newest 3D printer. It was donated by [http://ultimate3dprintingstore.com/ Ultimate 3D Printing Store].

== Tool Description: ==

Prusa reprap design

Single extruder

ABS / PLA

Build Envelope: 200mm x 200mm x 180mm (8in. x 8in. x 7in.)

== Usage Tips ==

The printer can print directly from gcode on a microSD card.

There are many slicers that will work and Slic3r is one of them. The 0,0 origin is in the front-left of the printer bed. Note that the Slic3r moves the extruder across the front of the print bed, so the front-left binder clip holding the glass needs to be moved to almost the center of the front edge of the glass.

Note that the microSD card is inserted upside-down.

The power switch is on the back of the side box.

The printer has a hard time getting the bed temperature much above 100C or the extruder much above 230C. You can briefly (carefully) touch the extruder fan to stop it to get the extruder temperature up to start printing.

== Materials (what to use, and not use, it on): ==
* Prints using ABS or PLA filament (and others)

== General and Special Safety Considerations: ==
'''This is not an exhaustive list!
* '''Read, understand and follow all warning labels, instructions and safety manuals. '''
* Take the class.
* Extruders and build plate are HOT: 100 C to 270 C.

== Tool Use: ==

=== Unloading Filament ===

Filament unloading is a relatively tricky procedure and has caused a few problems on this machine. Failure to unload properly can jam the extruder, requiring it to be disassembled to clear the jam.

The root problem with unloading filament is that when the filament sits inside the hot end / nozzle area below the motor as the hot end heats up, it forms a wider blob of molten plastic. When this is pulled up through the extruder, it often jams and breaks off inside the motor assembly. We can avoid that by carefully melting fresh filament right before unloading.

Please follow the below process:

# Wash hands to remove any oils
# Remove the lid (and place it somewhere where it won't get knocked over)
# In the firmware utilities, select "Load Right" or "Load Left" depending which side you're unloading
## (Yes, "Load" not "Unload")
## (This will run the extruder motor forward when it is warmed up)
# Pull the black plastic tubing up from the extruder motor assembly so you can see and hold the filament
# When the extruder warms up and the motor starts, press down on the black plastic lever to the side of the motor and hold it down
## This disengages the drive wheel
# Now manually push the filament down into the nozzle / hot end of the extruder
## Plastic should freely ooze out of the nozzle as you push
# Push about an inch of filament into the nozzle
# Now quickly pull the filament up and out of the extruder
## This will give the cleanest tip and avoid blobs as it is pulled out
# Release the black plastic lever
# New filament can now be loaded

=== Loading Filament ===
Loading new filament is relatively easy. The only tricky part is that sometimes the filament curves inside the motor assembly and does not go straight down into the nozzle area.

Tips:
* Trim off any bent or melted end of the filament
* Straighten the filament as much as possible
* Make sure the filament is fed through the tube before going into the extruder
* Turn on the "Load Left" or "Load Right" utility in the menu and wait for the extruder to warm up
* Press down on the black plastic lever to disengage the extruder motor until you have the filament correctly positioned
* Wiggle and turn the filament until you feel it drop down into the nozzle area
* You should be able to press down on the filament by hand and see it extrude plastic from the nozzle
* If not, pull the filament back out, straighten it, and try again
* Once the filament is in place and oozing from the nozzle, let the motor push some filament through to clear the previous color out

== Maintenance and Repair: ==
=== Glass Plate ===
The glass plate should be clean and clear without hairspray, glue, plastic residue, oils, etc. If necessary, wash with handsoap and dry completely.

There are replacement glass plates in the plastic drawers. Please email [info@tampahackerspace.com] if the glass needs replacing.

=== Extruder ===

== Tips and Tricks: ==
* If corners are curling up, make use of [http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2013/04/19/keep-corners-flat-with-makerwares-helper-discs/ mouse ear] helper disks on the corners.

* In general, you should not need to do any special treatment to the build plate. If you are having problems with your first layers sticking, the build plate can be removed from the machine and sprayed with a light layer of hairspray. Do not spray into the machine. Be careful, the build plate may be HOT! (100+ C)

* If you are printing an object with close fine details that are positioned in a way that does not allow sufficient cooling before the next layer (small parts), it may help to remove the clear plastic cover and direct a small fan into the print area to facilitate faster cooling.

* To remove a print: wait for printing to stop and for the print head and bed to return to their home position. Place aluminum heat-sinks (typically stored nearby) on the print bed near your object. Be careful not to scratch the glass. After a couple minutes, the print bed will cool and the object will POP off the glass. Almost all prints should be able to be removed without scraping or prying, which can damage the glass.

[https://slack.com/ Slack] has become our main tool for communication among members and our larger community.

[http://tampahackerspace.slack.com Tampa Hackerspace Slack]

If you do not have access, contact us for an invite.

== Basics ==

Start with Slack's own [https://tampahackerspace.slack.com/getting-started Getting Started] guide.

If your user name is obscure, ''please'' consider changing it to either your name or your more well-known username. It makes it much easier to know who is who. The user name is only for our specific Slack and won't be seen outside of our Slack. You can change it at any time. While you're doing that, consider adding a bit of information to your profile such as interests, projects, and maybe a profile photo or avatar.

Slack has multiple channels for conversations. Some are private.

Everyone should belong to #general after joining. Just be aware that this channel has non-members as well as members in it.

There is a #members channel for discussions that are only relevant to members.

There are channels for different areas and subjects of the makerspace such as the metal shop, wood shop, 3d printers, etc. There are also channels for some group projects and for different shows and events we're attending.

== Stars and Todo Items ==

You can ''star'' any message on Slack and it will be available on your Starred Item List (top right). This makes it easy to mark messages for later follow-up or reference.

== Notifications ==
Slack has many notification settings. There is a global setting for all channels for both desktop / web and for mobile apps. Then each channel has it's own notification settings. You can also set quiet hours and temporarily snooze all notifications.

== Slackbot ==

Slackbot comes with every Slack and has some neat features.

One neat feature is reminders. You can type /remind me Pick up sodas tomorrow 3pm and Slackbot will remind you. Or you can /remind channel Tonight is Open Make 1pm to remind a whole channel.

== Spacebot ==

Spacebot is our own home-grown collection of code to provide some information.

Spacebot posts upcoming Meetup events at 9am and 3pm every day.

Spacebot also answers the question "is anyone at the space" if asked via direct message or in the #members channel. It collects a number of pieces of information and gives it's best guess whether there are people at the space at the moment.

== Wood Shop ==

Our wood shop is undergoing a transformation throughout late 2015 and early 2016 to upgrade almost all of the large tools.
We require a basic orientation and checkout before using most of the tools in the shop.

The ShopBot CNC and SawStop table saw with attached router table require certification before use.

'''Please''' refer to the tool manual if you are at all uncertain on proper and safe usage.

Appropriate safety gear is available and '''required''' for tool usage. Safety glasses are '''required''' whenever shop tools are in use -- not just for the tool operator. Hearing protection is suggested for most tools but is '''required''' for the ShopBot and other routers.

== Hand Tools ==

Appropriate safety gear is available. Safety glasses are '''required''' for tool use.

In general, all of these tools should be used within the wood shop area and not within the "clean" areas of the space.

When using powered hand tools outside of the wood shop area, the tool operator '''must''' take responsibility for ensuring that everyone present wears appropriate safety gear. Also be aware of where any debris is being cast and make sure to clean up after yourself.

Shop Bot

== Tool Description: ==
The ShopBot is a CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) router. It is capable of cutting pieces out of 4 foot by 8 foot sheets of material. (i.e. plywood or MDF)

We use VCarvePro for layout, toolpath creation, and save toolpaths with post processing for ShopBot.

== Materials (what to use, and not use, it on): ==
* Wood (MDF, plywood, hard woods, soft woods (pine, poplar), etc)
* High density foam
* Metals
* Acrylic?
* Other??

== General and Special Safety Considerations: ==
'''This is not an exhaustive list!
* '''Always wear safety glasses.'''
* '''Read, understand and follow all warning labels, instructions and safety manuals.'''

== Classes: ==
* We are currently working to build a class, however, William Stillwell and others do offer 1:1 training when they are available ( Generally Open Make night is good, please coordinate with him a ahead of time, and have material ready )

When asking for training on the ShopBot, you should first have (pre-requsites):
* Taken the wood shop class so you know how we want things cleaned up.
* A basic understanding of work holding, feeds and speeds, and conventional and climb cutting (as taught in the machine shop class).
* A project idea, and have either already generated vector files for your project, or, for simpler designs, measurements of the pieces you want to cut out. This could be as simple as a couple boxes and a circle cut from a piece of plywood.
* Material to use to cut. This could be a sheet of wood, or an appropriate scrap from the wood bin. Your material should be relatively flat, free of any metal (nails, screws, staples) and in good condition. I.e. not rotting, splintering boards you found on the side of the road.

== Pre-Use checklist: ==
Before using the ShopBot, you should:
* Ensure that the gantry (y-axis) is square to the rest of the ShopBot frame.
* Zero out your X and Y axises to the desired location.
* Ensure you have the desired bit installed in the router.
* Zero out your Z axis.
* Triple check that your intended cut path will not impact any holddowns
* Wear hearing and eye protection.
* Activate the JET dust collection vacuum system.
* Before hitting "Cut Part", do a bladder check.
* "Cut Part". You will be prompted to turn on the router. ("Spindle")

== Post-Use Checklist (cleanup, etc): ==
When you have finished using the ShopBot, be sure that you:
* Return the tool to the traditional [0,0] position in the lower-left corner. Zero the axises if they have been changed.
* Install a standard cutter bit if you have changed to a specialized bit.
* Vacuum or sweep wood chips, debris and dust off the bed and the tool.
* Use compressed air to blow dust off the ShopBot itself, the computers, and the work bench.
* Sweep up dust and debris in the area around the ShopBot.
* Return any other tools you have used to their storage location.
* Turn off the ShopBot CPU.
* Turn off the laptop.
* Turn off the power strip and the light above.

== Tool Use: ==

== Tips and Tricks: ==
For those who are looking to buy Bits, Here are the current Recommended Bits to purchase for you "Tool Box"
* Whiteside UD2100 Spiral Cut Bit (Compression), .25 Diameter, .25 Shank, 1" Cut Length, 2.5" Overall Length -- Good For Wood and will give nice clean cut - Available via Woodcraft Special Order Item # 818489 $38.49
* Whiteside RD2100 Spircal Cut Bit (Down Cut), .25 Diameter, .25 Shank, 1" Cut Length, 2.5" Overall Length -- Good For Wood cuts downward pushing work against table - Available via Woodcraft Special Order Item # 812126 $20.99
* Whiteside SA2100 O-Flute Straight Router Bit, .25 Diameter, .25 Shank, 1" Cut Length, 3.5" Overall Length -- This is for Plastic - Available via Woodcraft Special Order Item # 405215 $27.99
* Whiteside is the best bits you can buy, they will last as long as you live, and you can pass them on to your children provided you take good care of them.

The SawStop is a professional-grade table saw with an integrated emergency stop that fires whenever the spinning blade begins to make contact with skin.

The extension table for the saw has a router mount that allows the same surface to be used as a table saw or a router table.

The SawStop user manual is on [https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1BiUKpVQf5nWG5DSlI5WmtwbGM Google Drive].

==Safety==

* Read and follow [https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1BiUKpVQf5nWG5DSlI5WmtwbGM the manual]
* Understand the basics of [http://www.startwoodworking.com/post/tablesaw-primer-ripping-and-crosscutting table saw operation]
* Don't crosscut using the fence - use the miter gauge (or a sled)
* Use the blade guard with splitter or the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riving_knife riving knife]
* Use a push stick for narrow cuts
* Wear appropriate protection: safety glasses and possibly hearing and dust protection

==SawStop Safety Brake Feature==

Be aware of the SawStop's safety brake feature. It works by detecting an electrical charge draining from the blade assembly, so as soon as the spinning blade makes enough contact with a person's skin / blood, it drops the blade down and throws a block of aluminum into the blade to stop it.

This can accidentally be activated when sawing wet or other electrically conductive materials or if the blade hits a nail or screw.

Each activation costs about $75 for a new safety cartridge and saw blade. We set aside a budget to periodically replace these because accidents happen. But if we determine that the safety feature was activated without a good reason, we may ask the responsible party to cover the replacement cost.

== Router Table ==

The SawStop table has an integrated router mount. The mount is a Kreg 420 / PRS3000 and the router is a Porter-Cable 7500 Series.

There is no Kreg manual available but [https://www.canadianwoodworking.com/kreg-precision-router-table-lift this site] has some instructions.
