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.

It would open new geometry we could mill out of metal.

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.

The woodshop and metalshop can be quite loud, even when wearing proper hearing protection. Sound-absorbing panels will reduce the noise level. More research needed to determine the best placement (closest to which equipment, walls vs. ceilings, etc), panel type (foam, cotton, fabric stretched over wood frames, etc), aesthetics, and cost.

Currently, facilitators get an email when members schedule an appointment. However, if the appointment is cancelled there's no way to know unless we actively search the appointment status on MakeHaven.org. I would Love to get an email notification when the appointment is cancelled so I know not to expect them.

They're really cool! They are also having something of a 'moment' amongst comic authors / printmakers / artists / etc., and I think it would be fun to have one in New Haven.

Creates channels, ridges, and flanges to stiffen and minimize vibration in sheet metal parts or even just to decorate them---think truck bed floors and auto body panels. Stiffening allows for thinner gauges to be used and cheaper lighter sheet metal parts to be made.

Because then people wouldn't need to check to make sure that the right gates in the woodshop are open/closed.

The space & especially the equipment would benefit of having their own space. This will make sure the machines are kept clean & working properly for years to come. Also fabrics will stay cleaner & free of allergens. Upgraded sewing machines would also benefit the space because they are more versatile.

Machine Shop, Jewelry Shop, and Electronics Shop can all benefit from a small accessible high speed drill press. High speeds are necessary to spin the tiny drills used to make small holes in Jewelry parts, Printed Circuit Boards, and small-scale precision devices.

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

These would make our space more accessible for all bodies, those with disabilities and those who could just use the simplicity of an open door when carrying in items. Ideally for at least main red doors, the wood shop and metal shop doors, and back storage area door.

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.

FormLabs Build Platform 2 is a new build platform with a flexible print service designed to make it easier to remove parts. Getting parts off of the existing build platform is a tremendous hassle, and frequently results in minor injuries to parts and the user. The new build platform flexes and causes the parts to just snap right off.
