Hanging out at @oggcamp today.
Anyone local (or not so local) want to talk makerspaces and what @leigh_hackspace could mean for you? Find me!
Cheeky ask, but does anyone have a 0.4mm Nozzle X in Volcano flavour that's going spare? Can pay pennies. UK please.
FrankenWinder printed its first Benchy at @leigh_hackspace.
Donated Artillery Sidewinder X1 from 3DQF, Hemera tool head from one of our members, E3D Volcano hotend, BLTouch, and Klippered.
A few refinements to go (the current .8mm nozzle is a *bit* brutal, but all we had for the Volcano), but this is now looking serviceable.
Oh, and we have a second machine and another Hemera, so ... building another.
That gives us *three* large(ish) format printers, including the Voron 2.4.
New Post :: Leigh Hackspace - Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying, and Embrace The Chaos
As alluded to on the Now page, after my RTA in 2022, the sporting side of my life slowed down. In the early part of my recovery, I walked in to Leigh Hackspace, which was in it’s early days of coming out of Covid lock down. A Hackspace is peculiar...
This Sunday is our next electronic music and sound day at the 'Space.
Fancy joining us for some noisy playtime?

@leigh_hackspace were asked to print several
sets of terrain for the Tabletop Tavern Warhammer players. Used 3DQF Battleship Grey PLA, and ended up using every printer available,and several home printers. Finished with hours, *hours* to spare.
On the plus side, we now know the faults and tuning needed on every printer.
"Your princess is in our castle now,
Yeah she's gone."
That's the roof done.
Time for a coffee, then to load it.
Been a busy weekend.
Finished putting the roof on the new pod at @leigh_hackspace. We're almost done with this build. Far pod is rented, near pod is being used for metalworking (for now).
The build has been a group effort, and workshops should be back to their usual dysfunctional state, as opposed to the current non-functional state by the end of the week.
Main space, electronics, Pi room and social room are all still available.
@leigh_hackspace refurbished this Santa sleigh for AIM North West.
https://www.aimnorthwest.org.uk/
We stripped it back to wood, added a roof, cut the side away (with reinforcements), designed and cut a new reindeer, repainted, added upholstery, then added 12V audio and lights.
It's loud.
A few more bits to finish when it's dry, but it's now out on rounds.
This turned in to a full Hackspace project, with input from lots of members.
