===Safe Materials To Engrave===<br />
Many types of materials are safe to engrave with the laser. The list below are some of the common materials that can be used. If you are ever in doubt about a material, ASK before using: <br />
*Untreated woods<br />
*Paper and card stock<br />
*Untreated Leather (treated leather has the potential for producing toxic gases) <br />
*Glass<br />
*Ceramic<br />
*Granite<br />
*Acrylic<br />
*Polyurethane Film - Certain brands of Heat transfer "vinyl" or perhaps better called Heat Transfer Film (HTF) are polyurethane and can be cut on the laser, but you MUST be sure you are not cutting vinyl. See here for a list of materials manufactured by [[Polyurethane based Siser products]] that can be safely used in the laser. <br />
<br />
[http://atxhackerspace.org/wiki/Laser_Cutter_Materials Laser Cutter Materials] - Great table of materials that can or cannot be cut in the laser from ATX Hackerspace.<br />
<br />
===DANGEROUS Materials===<br />
While there are many safe materials to use in the laser, there are some that are very dangerous. Many plastics and even some other materials that have been chemically treated have the potential of producing chlorine gas and other toxins when burned. These gases can be both very poisonous to those around the laser, but also very corrosive causing severe damage to the equipment. If you are unsure of a material, ask another member. It is best to be overcautious about the materials you choose. There are ways to identify materials, one of which is a burn test as described in this post called [http://hackaday.com/2015/03/14/how-to-identify-plastics-before-laser-cutting-them/ How to Identify Plastics Before Laser Cutting Them].<br />
<br />
DO NOT CUT PVC<br />
<br />
DO NOT CUT ANYTHING WITH VINYL<br />
<br />
DO NOT CUT UNKNOWN PLASTICS OR FILMS<br />
<br />
===Other Useful Materials===<br />
The following are other useful materials to have on hand while using the laser: <br />
*'''Alcohol wipes or Isopropyl Alcohol''' - for cleaning off the discoloration after lasering. If you do a lot of laser jobs, please buy a tub of the isopropyl wipes (can get at CVS, etc.)<br />
*'''Masking tape''' - for preventing discoloration. We've used Blue tape before, but some say you shouldn't use it. If you can find facts on that - please link :)<br />

MakerFX has an X-Carve 1000mm CNC Router. The X-Carve uses cutting bits to carve wood, plastics, thin aluminum and more. MakerFX membership provides training and use of the cnc router for prototyping and creative projects. We use VCarve software to design projects.<br />
<br />
Vectric’s VCarve Pro is a very powerful, but exceptionally easy to use software solution for people wanting to design and machine parts for a wide variety of CNC machines. MakerFX provides the V-Carve Pro Makerspace Edition software for member use. [[Downloading and installing instructions for V-Carve Makerspace Edition]]<br />
<br />
This CNC Router is equipped with a [http://www.vhipe.com/product-private/SuperPID-Home.htm Super PID Router Speed Controller], a [https://planet-cnc.com/hardware/#products-hardware Planet CNC Controller]. The spindle is a DeWalt 611 trim router rated at 1-1/4HP (7.0 Amps) with a no load speed of 16,000-27,000rpm.<br />
A properly tuned and calibrated machine should get to a resolution of ~0.075mm to 0.13mm. <br />

<hr />
<div>=Reservation System Overview=<br />
As we grow, this reservation system can help ensure that you can get a tool or resource when you need it. Like most things in a makerspace, it only works if everyone does their part :)<br />
<br />
=FAQs=<br />
*When do I need to make a reservation?<br />
** EVERY TIME YOU USE ONE OF THE TOOLS IN THE RESERVATION SYSTEM. For example, if you roll into the space, no one is there and you decide to start a laser project, IMMEDIATELY create reservation for the time you plan to use it so that someone else doesn't create a reservation, drive in, and you are mid-job. This will take some discipline from all of us to make it work.<br />
*What tools are in the reservation system? <br />
**Go to the reservation system page on makerfx.org, there is a list at the bottom. (The link is in the instructions below)<br />
*What if my 3D printing job runs way longer than I expected? <br />
**It is on you to estimate well, and to reserve the printer for long enough. Add a second reservation if needed. If someone else has a reservation after you and you will be impacting them, you need to reach out.<br />
*What happens if I have a reservation and someone is using the tool?<br />
** First, let the person know that you had a reservation and they are now impacting you. If you can be flexible, thank you. If you have a major challenge, then ask them politely to vacate the tool. Please don't escalate. If you can't solve it, reach out to the POC for that area, or if they are not available, PM Ian.<br />
*What will happen to chronic reservation abusers?<br />
**Tool access will be revoked for those that cannot play nice with others, but we sure hope that never happens.<br />
<br />
=Getting Setup=<br />
*Click [http://www.makerfx.org/wp-login.php?action=register Register for a Makerfx.org Wordpress account] - this account will be used to reserve time on tools<br />
*Your account will need to be promoted to Member level in order to reserve time on tools. Once you've created the account, use Slack to tag @jstutz, @andy, @jeff, @joe.gravelle or @ian (for now, will work to get more people trained) - Send a PM with your new wordpress user name and ask to be upgraded to member status so you can reserve tools.<br />
<br />
=Getting to the Reservation Form=<br />
*If you are NOT logged in, visit [http://www.makerfx.org/reslogin makerfx.org/reslogin] which will prompt you to login and then drop you off on the reservation page.<br />
*If you are already logged in, visit [http://www.makerfx.org/reservation makerfx.org/reservation]<br />
<br />
=Making a Tool (Resource) Reservation=<br />
<br />
There are several sections to the reservation page that are noted below:<br />
<br />
*Upcoming Events - This section on the top right gives you a quick look at upcoming events that might impact your tool scheduling. <br />
*Resource Calendars - If you want to know when a specific tool is open, these links take you to interactive calendars for each tool.<br />
*Reserve Resource Time - This is the reservation SEARCH section, which will be explained more below.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_start_screen.png|1000px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation-captions.gif|border]]<br />
<br />
<br />
To SEARCH for an upcoming time on a tool (or group of tools), first Select the category - this includes types of work like Laser, 3D Printing, CNC Routing, etc.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_select_category.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Then select the usage type - this helps select the tool (resource) since not all tools have equal capabilities. For example, the DeltaMaker 3D printers do not print ABS.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_usage_type.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, select the specific resource. NOTE: Whenever possible, select the resource with the least demand. For example, if it is a small object, don't choose a large 3D printer.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_resource.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, select the duration of your reservation. <br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_duration.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This next section causes some confusion. There is a field for a date and days of the week and start / finish times. THIS IS STARTING A SEARCH FOR OPEN TIMES, NOT THE ENTRY OF THE SPECIFIC TIME YOU DESIRE. Think of it like saying "I'm usually open from 6pm to 10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is there a time for this tool (resource) that is available? If you just want to see from NOW and want to see all open time - leave this all at the defaults.<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_look_for_open_time.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Click NEXT to see a list of open times for this tool (resource) and to select your actual reservation. You can click the calendar to see different days, or click a specific time slot to make the reservation.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slots.png]]<br />
<br />
Click on the specific time slot you desire to reserve for the duration you specified in the search.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slot_hover.png]]<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slot_click.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Next you will be on the Details screen where you enter your full contact info - WE NEED REAL INFO HERE in the event there is a challenge with your reservation. If you need to enter any notes feel free, but at this time they are not required. <br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_details.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you click NEXT, your reservation will be confirmed and you will receive an email. The email will contain a .ics file in the event you want to add it to your calendar. If you are a gmail user, it will have the "Add to calendar" link in the header above the message.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_email.png|border]]<br />
<br />
=Canceling a Tool (Resource) Reservation=<br />
In your confirmation email, there is a link to cancel your reservation. Simply clicking the link will cancel the reservation with no other input. Note, there currently is no cancel confirmation screen, we need to make one - but you do receive a cancellation email.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_email_cancel.png|border]]<br />
<br />
Note, there is no way to modify a reservation. If you need to significantly alter a reservation, cancel it and then make a new reservation<br />
<br />
=Other Stuff=<br />
*There is a calendar page on MakerFX for each tool (resource) - the list is at the bottom of the makerfx.org/reservation page<br />
*There is a Google calendar for each resource. If you are a big Google calendar user and you want to have the calendar integrated directly into your calendar, see Ian for calendar addresses<br />
*There is a slack email integration which receives the email from the booking plugin for that resource and drops it in the right slack channel<br />
*There are several wordpress plugins in play, but the primary one for this is [https://www.booking-wp-plugin.com/ Bookly], and some add-ons for pushing to Google Calendar, and for allowing flexible length time slots. We are loading our tools in as "Staff Members" in Bookly.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>=Reservation System Overview=<br />
As we grow, this reservation system can help ensure that you can get a tool or resource when you need it. Like most things in a makerspace, it only works if everyone does their part :)<br />
<br />
=FAQs=<br />
*When do I need to make a reservation?<br />
** EVERY TIME YOU USE ONE OF THE TOOLS IN THE RESERVATION SYSTEM. For example, if you roll into the space, no one is there and you decide to start a laser project, IMMEDIATELY create reservation for the time you plan to use it so that someone else doesn't create a reservation, drive in, and you are mid-job. This will take some discipline from all of us to make it work.<br />
*What tools are in the reservation system? <br />
**Go to the reservation system page on makerfx.org, there is a list at the bottom. (The link is in the instructions below)<br />
*What if my 3D printing job runs way longer than I expected? <br />
**It is on you to estimate well, and to reserve the printer for long enough. Add a second reservation if needed. If someone else has a reservation after you and you will be impacting them, you need to reach out.<br />
*What happens if I have a reservation and someone is using the tool?<br />
** First, let the person know that you had a reservation and they are now impacting you. If you can be flexible, thank you. If you have a major challenge, then ask them politely to vacate the tool. Please don't escalate. If you can't solve it, reach out to the POC for that area, or if they are not available, PM Ian.<br />
*What will happen to chronic reservation abusers?<br />
**Tool access will be revoked for those that cannot play nice with others, but we sure hope that never happens.<br />
<br />
=Getting Setup=<br />
*Click [http://www.makerfx.org/wp-login.php?action=register Register for a Makerfx.org Wordpress account] - this account will be used to reserve time on tools<br />
*Your account will need to be promoted to Member level in order to reserve time on tools. Once you've created the account, use Slack to tag @ian (for now, will work to get more people trained) - Send a PM with your new wordpress user name and ask to be upgraded to member status so you can reserve tools.<br />
<br />
=Getting to the Reservation Form=<br />
*If you are NOT logged in, visit [http://www.makerfx.org/reslogin makerfx.org/reslogin] which will prompt you to login and then drop you off on the reservation page.<br />
*If you are already logged in, visit [http://www.makerfx.org/reservation makerfx.org/reservation]<br />
<br />
=Making a Tool (Resource) Reservation=<br />
<br />
There are several sections to the reservation page that are noted below:<br />
<br />
*Upcoming Events - This section on the top right gives you a quick look at upcoming events that might impact your tool scheduling. <br />
*Resource Calendars - If you want to know when a specific tool is open, these links take you to interactive calendars for each tool.<br />
*Reserve Resource Time - This is the reservation SEARCH section, which will be explained more below.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation-captions.gif|border]]<br />
<br />
<br />
To SEARCH for an upcoming time on a tool (or group of tools), first Select the category - this includes types of work like Laser, 3D Printing, CNC Routing, etc.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_select_category.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Then select the usage type - this helps select the tool (resource) since not all tools have equal capabilities. For example, the DeltaMaker 3D printers do not print ABS.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_usage_type.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, select the specific resource. NOTE: Whenever possible, select the resource with the least demand. For example, if it is a small object, don't choose a large 3D printer.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_resource.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, select the duration of your reservation. <br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_duration.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This next section causes some confusion. There is a field for a date and days of the week and start / finish times. THIS IS STARTING A SEARCH FOR OPEN TIMES, NOT THE ENTRY OF THE SPECIFIC TIME YOU DESIRE. Think of it like saying "I'm usually open from 6pm to 10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is there a time for this tool (resource) that is available? If you just want to see from NOW and want to see all open time - leave this all at the defaults.<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_look_for_open_time.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Click NEXT to see a list of open times for this tool (resource) and to select your actual reservation. You can click the calendar to see different days, or click a specific time slot to make the reservation.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slots.png]]<br />
<br />
Click on the specific time slot you desire to reserve for the duration you specified in the search.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slot_hover.png]]<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slot_click.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Next you will be on the Details screen where you enter your full contact info - WE NEED REAL INFO HERE in the event there is a challenge with your reservation. If you need to enter any notes feel free, but at this time they are not required. <br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_details.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you click NEXT, your reservation will be confirmed and you will receive an email. The email will contain a .ics file in the event you want to add it to your calendar. If you are a gmail user, it will have the "Add to calendar" link in the header above the message.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_email.png|border]]<br />
<br />
=Canceling a Tool (Resource) Reservation=<br />
In your confirmation email, there is a link to cancel your reservation. Simply clicking the link will cancel the reservation with no other input. Note, there currently is no cancel confirmation screen, we need to make one - but you do receive a cancellation email.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_email_cancel.png|border]]<br />
<br />
Note, there is no way to modify a reservation. If you need to significantly alter a reservation, cancel it and then make a new reservation<br />
<br />
=Other Stuff=<br />
*There is a calendar page on MakerFX for each tool (resource) - the list is at the bottom of the makerfx.org/reservation page<br />
*There is a Google calendar for each resource. If you are a big Google calendar user and you want to have the calendar integrated directly into your calendar, see Ian for calendar addresses<br />
*There is a slack email integration which receives the email from the booking plugin for that resource and drops it in the right slack channel<br />
*There are several wordpress plugins in play, but the primary one for this is [https://www.booking-wp-plugin.com/ Bookly], and some add-ons for pushing to Google Calendar, and for allowing flexible length time slots. We are loading our tools in as "Staff Members" in Bookly.<br />

<div>=Reservation System Overview=<br />
As we grow, this reservation system can help ensure that you can get a tool or resource when you need it. Like most things in a makerspace, it only works if everyone does their part :)<br />
<br />
=FAQs=<br />
*When do I need to make a reservation?<br />
** EVERY TIME YOU USE ONE OF THE TOOLS IN THE RESERVATION SYSTEM. For example, if you roll into the space, no one is there and you decide to start a laser project, IMMEDIATELY create reservation for the time you plan to use it so that someone else doesn't create a reservation, drive in, and you are mid-job. This will take some discipline from all of us to make it work.<br />
*What tools are in the reservation system? <br />
**Go to the reservation system page on makerfx.org, there is a list at the bottom. (The link is in the instructions below)<br />
*What if my 3D printing job runs way longer than I expected? <br />
**It is on you to estimate well, and to reserve the printer for long enough. Add a second reservation if needed. If someone else has a reservation after you and you will be impacting them, you need to reach out.<br />
*What happens if I have a reservation and someone is using the tool?<br />
** First, let the person know that you had a reservation and they are now impacting you. If you can be flexible, thank you. If you have a major challenge, then ask them politely to vacate the tool. Please don't escalate. If you can't solve it, reach out to the POC for that area, or if they are not available, PM Ian.<br />
*What will happen to chronic reservation abusers?<br />
**Tool access will be revoked for those that cannot play nice with others, but we sure hope that never happens.<br />
<br />
=Getting Setup=<br />
*Click [http://www.makerfx.org/wp-login.php?action=register Register for a Makerfx.org Wordpress account] - this account will be used to reserve time on tools<br />
*Your account will need to be promoted to Member level in order to reserve time on tools. Once you've created the account, use Slack to tag @ian (for now, will work to get more people trained) - Send a PM with your new wordpress user name and ask to be upgraded to member status so you can reserve tools.<br />
<br />
=Getting to the Reservation Form=<br />
*If you are NOT logged in, visit [http://www.makerfx.org/reslogin makerfx.org/reslogin] which will prompt you to login and then drop you off on the reservation page.<br />
*If you are already logged in, visit [http://www.makerfx.org/reservation makerfx.org/reservation]<br />
<br />
=Making a Tool (Resource) Reservation=<br />
<br />
There are several sections to the reservation page that are noted below:<br />
<br />
*Upcoming Events - This section on the top right gives you a quick look at upcoming events that might impact your tool scheduling. <br />
*Resource Calendars - If you want to know when a specific tool is open, these links take you to interactive calendars for each tool.<br />
*Reserve Resource Time - This is the reservation SEARCH section, which will be explained more below.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
To SEARCH for an upcoming time on a tool (or group of tools), first Select the category - this includes types of work like Laser, 3D Printing, CNC Routing, etc.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_select_category.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Then select the usage type - this helps select the tool (resource) since not all tools have equal capabilities. For example, the DeltaMaker 3D printers do not print ABS.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, select the specific resource. NOTE: Whenever possible, select the resource with the least demand. For example, if it is a small object, don't choose a large 3D printer.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, select the duration of your reservation. <br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_duration.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This next section causes some confusion. There is a field for a date and days of the week and start / finish times. THIS IS STARTING A SEARCH FOR OPEN TIMES, NOT THE ENTRY OF THE SPECIFIC TIME YOU DESIRE. Think of it like saying "I'm usually open from 6pm to 10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is there a time for this tool (resource) that is available? If you just want to see from NOW and want to see all open time - leave this all at the defaults.<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_look_for_open_time.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Click NEXT to see a list of open times for this tool (resource) and to select your actual reservation. You can click the calendar to see different days, or click a specific time slot to make the reservation.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slots.png]]<br />
<br />
Click on the specific time slot you desire to reserve for the duration you specified in the search.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slot_hover.png]]<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_time_slot_click.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Next you will be on the Details screen where you enter your full contact info - WE NEED REAL INFO HERE in the event there is a challenge with your reservation. If you need to enter any notes feel free, but at this time they are not required. <br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_details.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you click NEXT, your reservation will be confirmed and you will receive an email. The email will contain a .ics file in the event you want to add it to your calendar. If you are a gmail user, it will have the "Add to calendar" link in the header above the message.<br />
<br />

<br />
=Canceling a Tool (Resource) Reservation=<br />
In your confirmation email, there is a link to cancel your reservation. Simply clicking the link will cancel the reservation with no other input. Note, there currently is no cancel confirmation screen, we need to make one - but you do receive a cancellation email.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tool_reservation_email_cancel.png|border]]<br />
<br />
Note, there is no way to modify a reservation. If you need to significantly alter a reservation, cancel it and then make a new reservation<br />
<br />
=Other Stuff=<br />
*There is a calendar page on MakerFX for each tool (resource) - the list is at the bottom of the makerfx.org/reservation page<br />
*There is a Google calendar for each resource. If you are a big Google calendar user and you want to have the calendar integrated directly into your calendar, see Ian for calendar addresses<br />
*There is a slack email integration which receives the email from the booking plugin for that resource and drops it in the right slack channel<br />
*There are several wordpress plugins in play, but the primary one for this is [https://www.booking-wp-plugin.com/ Bookly], and some add-ons for pushing to Google Calendar, and for allowing flexible length time slots. We are loading our tools in as "Staff Members" in Bookly.<br />
