All things security related to lock down the maker space:

Solar cells have always seemed a little magical to me. I don't really understand how they are made except for that is is a big industrial process. I have asked people who seem to know and been told there is no way to build one yourself(the cell not just the housing). However I just happened to find this video that shows you how to build one using using donut powder (little scary to think huh?) and tea:

I think we should make one or two signs out of acrylic for MakeHaven. For inside the space, I envision something like this on our brick wall:

It's laser cut acrylic on brushed aluminum standoffs. With access to a lasercutter, we could cut the acrylic pretty easily. Then it would be a fairly trivial assembly project. The only real difficulty is that much acrylic could be rather pricety. 

We want to build a 3d printer so we can make digital objects real. 

Status: We have ordered parts and are waiting for them to come in.
