Spent the evening stringing and doing intonation on my new favorite 3D Printed guitar. This one features a resin pour. This was a super enjoyable build and the core can be removed to swap out the body and electronics if I choose to do it in the future.

On this month-long journey I met with and interviewed six workers coops, five of which are tech-related. They are vastly different, each operating within their unique context.
19.coop
syndicats.co
teknologisk.coop
robur.coop
ogtall.no
kbhck.dk (bike shop)

I met with the workers' union which has Denmarks first 30-hours collective bargaining agreement at/with a tech workers coop.
prosa.dk (union)
tetrabit.coop (coop)

I met with two data collectives; democratic organizations which among other things run digital services (matrix, nextcloud, etc) for its members.
data.coop
ukrudt.net

I also met three hackerspaces and one makerspace.
labitat.dk
hamburg.ccc.de
hackeriet.no
attraktor.org

Expect a blog post (particularly about the coop related stuff) or extended fedi thread some time this summer.
Feel free to @ me if it takes a while.

🤯 makers, beware:

"Machine that could CHANGE the Maker Community forever"

UV printer kickstarter - like an inkjet printer on steroids. And it builds up *dimensional* colour, too. Given what it can do, and how slick the app is, I was surprised at the price.
(Definitely gonna resist. But can you? 👹)

I love that he didn't just demo it, but tested materials and durability of the result.

It’s a big bummer that there is no #makerspace in the east side suburbs of #seattle

I looked at checking the three in Seattle out last night but with traffic it was going to be an hour’s drive one-way.

I miss having access to Generator when I lived in #vermont. Check it out if you’re in the Green Mountain State.

So this morning I went down to my local makerspace to use the bigger laser for a job. It was going to be a very long engrave so I decided to bite the bullet and do an over due task at the space.
People donate random electronic stuff to us all the time. From that we had multiple bins filled with random cables and power bricks. It was overwhelming a closet so I dragged it all out and put out a call on the discord channel to see if anyone wanted to join in on the fun. 😁
Got one volunteer, James. Who is a literal submarine engineer. #makerspace

the #Fabville makerspace at the #somerville High school is great actually?

Last night at the open house, the #FIRST #robotics team demoed their robot, Plunk, which qualified for the New England district championships. Congrats to the whole team!

Checked out the whole shop, and, importantly, there's a makerspace with a mini woodshop, including a shopbot, plus a bunch of 3d printing and computer driven cutting/plotting devices - at the high school thats just...free? What? I don't have to drive 40 minutes each way to A2?
