We have a lovey new electric gate installed in out space over the last week. It will make it easier for our members to come and go from the space. Check out all the photos from the install in our gallery.
Lasersaur Realignment
We have been without our much loved laser cutter since our move to our new space. A host of work had to be carried out to get the laser up and running. A new extraction system had to be installed in our electronics. The tube had to be reinstalled in the laser which was taken out for its trip to Blackpitts. The final bit of work was a whole realignment. Each of the 3 lens had to be calibration which takes hours.

New Internet In The Space
One of the big stumbling blocks of our new space has been the slow internet speed. We have been hit delays in getting a suppler into the space. For the last few months we have been living on 4G mobile broadband only. We are happy to say, we now have proper internet in the space. Ask any member for the key the next time you are in the space. 
Tech Central Podcast
Our own member Jeffrey Roe went on this weeks Tech Central Podcast. It had been seven years since Nail and Jeffrey catch up about the goings on about our space.
