The CNC area is in need of more funds for the remainder of the year. | |||
Concerns over space expansion budgeting reduced all area budgets for 2016 and the CNC budget was reduced 3000 from 6900, based on previous funding usage. | |||
Several unexpected expensive repairs occurred to both the Shopbot and the Epilog Laser. | |||
In 2016, several large equipment votes and purchases were made this year, and the CNC area has doubled in size and machine count. | |||
Funds will be used primarily for: | |||
*Miscellaneous tools, consumables and materials related to space expansion | |||
*Shopbot consumables including wasteboard, cutters, and replacement parts | |||
*Repair parts for 3D printers | |||
*Buffer for any machine repairs or additional expenditures through the end of the year | |||
*Turbonozzle for Epilog laser to improve cutting performance - http://www.factengineering.com/turbo.php | |||
*Octoprint controllers for 3d printers for improved usability | |||
