At the core of any bike framebuilding setup is a frame jig (technically a fixture, not a jig). Industry-standard frame jigs run at $3000-5000, but we can make our own for $500-600.

Especially now that we’re developing a ceramics area, this would be a great synergy between 3D printing and ceramics. This way we can print very, very complicated and precise parts with the ceramic resin, and then fire them to yield a purely ceramic part. One of the few FormLabs resins that can (through firing) be considered food safe.

I'd like to propose a few more workshop/classes on some of the textile tools available at the space. The rug tufting class has to be one of the most successful operations at MakeHaven - why not have some special training available for CNC Embroidery and the knitting machine?

Sometimes the 3D printers are all busy, and other times they are all free. Sometimes they appear to be busy, but will all be done printing in ten minutes. It would be nice to be able to track the progress of prints across the entire farm using something like OctoFarm or similar.

If we had 2x Form Wash units, we would go through much less IPA. The 1st would be a pre-wash, to get off most of the residue, and the 2nd would be the final wash. The 1st could get really dirty before needing replacement, and the 2nd would stay clean for a long time. https://formlabs.com/store/post-processing/form-wash

A high PSI gas powered pressure washer is needed to remove graffiti, super caked in dirt, or just to reach spaces beyond what a cheaper electric power washer can do.

Pin looms are small, affordable introductions to weaving that are quite capable of going from tiny and simple projects to much larger objects and garments when pieces are connected. Not terribly expensive, a ton of good resources out there on learning, and a fun way to expand our textile offerings without taking up much space.
