Brought Everyone Up to Speed on What I Just Did and Plan to Do

New page

Currently i don't do much [[Soldering]] / [[PCB]] work, and probably will never be the one personally doing (although i'd love to have a Cleanroom [[Microelectronics Section]] at the ultimate makerspace / [[OSEH]] type thing

Although it can store nearly anything, the only real "Workspace" i have now is my Prusa i3MK3s+, and various hand tools related to that, so this isn't ''too much''' of use

Once i have some expendable income (and double check there are no local sources), i'm probably going to buy a BUNCH of [[Metric Hardware]] / [[Metric Fasteners]] , some good quality Lead+Cadmium Free [[Thermal Inserts]] , so the modern version of that "Parts Rainbow" will work great for the scale i'm at.

Once i get to [[Makerspace Scale]] i'm probably going to invest in setting up a [[Project Materials Vending Machine]] for as much of the materials as possible. [Christopher Helmke]] is making an AMAZING system for Sorting/Counting+Conveying+Dispensing Screws and similarly sized parts, so by the time i get to this level of things it may already ve developed for the most part!

I have seen some people use Gridfinity to organize [[Vehicle Maintenance]] tools, although i don't do too much of that yet (Garage is currently moreso storage + parked car, rather than parked cars and maintenance facility as well)

I don't think it is as suitable as a standard [[Pegboard]] / [[French Cleat]] system with [[Shadowboard]] infographics etc for things such as [[Metalwork]] and ''to an extent'' [[Woodwork]]

With proper [[Sawdust Management]] it can probably be used for a decent chunk of things short of [[Power Tools]]

For welding i had, in my weld booth, things set out almost like a Surgical Tool Tray, i had:
**My Chipping Hammer and Wire Brush on my Left for easy grabbing
**The [[Locking Pliers]] ( [[Vice Grips]] ) and standard [[Pliers]] were on my right side
**Most of the other tools were scattered about, and FSCJ (at least as of when i was there) did NOT utilize a Shadowboard etc

Kitchen Use might be of use, as well as [[Desk Organization]] . I'm still in the process of looking for / printing a [[Heavy Duty 3D Printed Laptop Stand]] (ie can hold my Thick alienware laptop, or older 2010's laptops that aren't [[Ultrabooks]] like most of the designs design around

'''Rambling a bit, but TLDR:'''
*As of now FDM 3D Printing is the only "Workstation" that needs gridfinity for me.
*I may end up using for [[Small Parts Organization]] and as a [[Toolbox Insert]] for my [[Electrician Tools]]
*Feel free to check it out and see what you can add to that section!
