Pictures from around the space

Thank you to Mike for donating this new 3D printer! It's just small enough to fix in our Electronics Lab with the other printers, giving us a total of 3. More printers means more parts!

Pierre's Push Button Show from June was a good time! Quite a few listeners showed up and listened and jammed along to the music.

One of our Open Hack Night visitors asked for some help with cutting a design on the CNC Router: a skimboard made in two parts. The fit is a little loose, but some epoxy will fill that right in.
