Really crucial metalworking tool for metal sculpture, forging, and many jewelry applications.

The prices can be highly variable, but they tend to be $5-9/pound new, and about $3-5/pound used.

Also: we don't *need* a forge for an anvil to be an incredibly useful, meaningful addition to our metalworking capabilities. It has enormous use in many other metalworking capacities.

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.

Many people need to get things to and from MakeHaven but often don't have a large car, or only bike. A pickup truck could be used by staff and members to get lumber, transport large scrap and pickup equipment. Ideally this truck would be kept in the parking garage next to MakeHaven.

Though the Prusa hasn't been perfect, that's largely because people have been using Octopi slicer. By using the Prusa slicer it seems to work flawlessly. It makes great prints, and is a great price compared to comparable machines. It would be great for our PLA 3d printers to be consistent.

I think it would open a lot of possibilities if we added castable wax resin to our FormLabs 3B supplies. For example, as a jeweler I do a lot of initial design work with 3D modeling and lost-wax casting. Make Haven doesn't have metal casting equipment, but there are lots of outside casting facilities that will accept shipped models.
