well the cookie caster is just a website that lets you draw a thing and gives you the 3d printer file for it

then you take it to shapeways, where they will print whatever file you send them

so is it technically illegal?? idfk

they could easily dmca that logo from the gallery but that's probably about it

Yeah they aren't really "springs" unless you put as much weight as a truck on them.

What they are is a great source of really tough high-carbon steel about the size of a bowie knife.

i think jonny is a little bit mistaken about how much access students have to university shops anyway

many engineering departments these days act as a full-service-bureau sort of thing, where the student works with the shop tech to figure out what they need to build and then the tech makes it for them. safer, cheaper and lower effort than trying to get the students to use the machines, and even though the student doesn't learn how to run a mill, well they are supposed to be "above" that in their job anyway so

we do allow our students to run the machines, but we would be in a world of poo poo if someone was working on something that was not an official course-related project (eg. "can i just mill out this bracket for my moped, it'll only take like half an hour") and they got hurt, so we have to keep an eye on what people are actually doing

and if you're not a major in our department, forget it. we get idiots from other depts coming in with like "uhh yeah i just wanna cut these rocks on your table saw, i heard you had a table saw in here" :wtc:

god damn it, you've got to be kind

My estimate of 4 months before going broke assumed donation renenue staying the same per month - noisebridge had 2.75 months of reserve cash, including monthly donations that would come in during the next 3 months stretched that to 4 mos before there was nothing left even borrowing from the next month's donations.

I can barely balance a checkbook so I was surprised to see I'm not far wrong...

quote:

Your favourite anarchist hackerspace in the heart of the Mission needs your help! Noisebridge's cash reserves dipped below the 3 month mark at the end of December. This means that we have about ~2ish months left of runway in the bank. AS IT STANDS NOISEBRIDGE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET THROUGH MARCH!

THE STATE OF NOISEBRIDGE FINANCES

Noisebridge has monthly outgoings in the order of $4,800. That's rent, PGE, water, trash, Monkeybrains and Sonic and other miscellaneous things.

Our recurring PayPal income is approximately $1,800/month, with less reliable sporadic checks from employer donation matching.

We need a mix of
a) lump sum cash donations to extend runway near-term
b) increased recurring donations to keep us afloat {medium,long}-term
