<p>Sargun: </p> <hr /> <div>==LASER CUTTER. WANT.==<br /> <br /> I (J.Foote) am willing to spearhead (lenshead?) an effort to get a laser cutter for Noisebridge. Though I've used one a couple times,<br /> I'm a relative noob. Some points:<br /> <br /> * Is this cool?<br /> ** Hell yes it is cool. Laser cutters improve DIY projects by an order of magnitude --davidfine<br /> <br /> * What do we want in terms of power, deck size, cost (i.e. name brand or Chinese)?<br /> <br /> * Where does it go? The DJ booth seems ideal in terms of corner location (for low vibration) and access to window/wall (for ventilation). The DJs might disagree. Thoughts?<br /> <br /> * How do we pay? Consensus donations seems to be the only real solution, but we would have to work out quid pro quo (i.e. donors get priority or something)<br /> ** at Metalab their software tracks how much time each user has the laser powered on and bills accordingly. <br /> <br /> * Maintenance. Who babysits and/or fixes tragedies of the commons? (I will volunteer some but can't be there 24/7.)<br /> ** This may make leasing the best option for now. <br /> <br /> I will summarize any email discussion here. Also I asked Bre Pettis of NYCResistor (who makes a living on his) for advice. I will summarize any responses.<br /> <br /> == Pledge ==<br /> Sign up to pledge below:<br /> <br /> buy or to lease. Buying could be anywhere from $3k-20k.
