Next Steps

• https://microfactory.opensourceecology.org
• Add librarian teaching curriculum
• Add one day workshop curriculum
• Add e-book and embed phplist to catch emails.

• Ebook should probably be a way to catch interest for Design Jams.

Meeting Notes

Build a desktop microfactory, and reinvent local production right in your home town

• Accessibility Rules - for best practices on naming websites
• Link should be: https://opensourceecology.org/3dp and 3Dp and 3DP
• For maintenance purposes - you don't put the folder with a website at the /3dp -
• Verify with Michael that /3dp folder is a maintenance nightmare
• Thus, use https://3dp.opensourceecology.org as the URL
• If the same key opens all doors to a house, is the house any less safe than a house with a single door?
• Competitive analysis: Benchmarking + Competitive List Audit

• Imade3d.com -
• 3d4edu.org
• Irregular workshops at different hacker- and maker-spaces for internal and external audience
• STEAM education - various orgs providing
• The Crucible - SF bay area -
• Tumbleweed houses

• On demand auto fulfillment. Example.
• OSE Logo - B&W - for t-shirt and polo shirt
• Click buy for a t-shirt or polo shirt - say $18 for a t-shirt, OSE gets $4.73 per shirt at https://inktothepeople.com as an example
• Products: kit, XM workshop 1 day build - read the existing 3DP workshop, teachers' or librarian's 2 day training (build day + training), t-shirt, sticker, polo shirt
• 1 week - basic website.
• Phase 1: sign up for a workshop, sign up for a Teacher's Training
• Assets
• New logo by JB - Sticker for the 3D Printer. And revisit in one year for a 3D printer.
• Create a modular logo for different product.
• See Kit.com
• stocktankpool.net - check their kits for kit model

Narrative

Main

• We offer a 3D printers.
• We also offer 3D printer builds - in 5 hours!
• We also train teachers how to build, maintain, and design printed parts.
• But that's where we leave all the others behind...
• We offer a turnkey Desktop Microfactory consisting of the 3D Printer, CNC Circuit Mill, Laser Cutter, and 3D Printing Filament maker - which allows you to produce 80% of consumer household goods in any community - starting from recycled plastic.
• We offer a modular, scalable Construction Set of machines - so you can build larger or smaller versions depending on your needs and budget.
• Once you have the 3D printer - you can print parts for all the other machines - and build your own desktop microfactory from easy-to-source, off the shelf parts.
• We are standing on the shoulders of giants, building upon the work of the RepRap 3D printer community, Precious Plastic, Recyclebot, Open Circuit Institute, and Lyman Filament Extruder - and adding our own innovation - to produce a powerful product package.
• Our goal is to democratize production and involve everyone in product design all over the world. You may have heard about this idea before - but now we have the open source tools, and we are producing a repository of open designs to make this happen.
• We develop public designs via Design Jams - open to the public - and we offer training in 3D printing, CAD design 1 hour FreeCAD crash course, using part libraries, and how to collaborate openly with a large team.
• We offer: kits (3DP, CNC circuit mill) - we can drop ship these. Need to refine BOMs - 3DP BOM - D3D_v18.07#BOM and Circuit Mill BOM - D3D_CNC_Circuit_Mill#BOM
• We offer registration for workshops. Sign up for initial interest. Once there are 12 people interested at a given location or 1 hour away - we run a workshop
• Design Jams - basic narrative

For Teachers

• (Imade3D positions themselves as Professional Development opportunity for teachers - -see their site)
• We can provide an amazing Professional Development opportunity as you learn to build a 3D printer. We offer 2 day workshops for teachers and librarians, day 1- build - day 2 - operate, maintain, design 3Dd printed parts - all using a fully open source tool chain.
• We an also train you do do design useful products - anything from a 3D printed pen, a cordless drill, or a vaccuum cleaner - and to run design contests with your students. This would be similar to First Robotics, but producing real, useful, and marketable products that improve with time and become part of a common human heritage of open design. We will be running these events once per month at Open Source Ecology.
• We can teach you how to start a recycling operation in your school - turning waste plastic from your cafeteria to virgin 3D printing filament - for producing new products while cleaning up the environment.
• We can offer Professional Development building the 3D Printer, CNC Circuit Mill, Laser Cutter, and Filament Maker today.
• Register as a pair - $1400 for a 2 day workshop - you keep one machine that you built during the workshop. $2100 for a 3 day workshop where we teach you how to lead a Design Jam on the 3rd day.
• Inquire for further details - or register online. We need a minimum of 4 registrations to run an event - we after you register - we will have to find 3 other

For Everyone

• Register for a workshop (nonexisting workshops - we host one when 12 people sign up)
• Register for a planned workshop - any one that is already on our schedule. We can add people to Teachers' workshops as well, where people register for 1 day and teachers register for 2 or 3 days
• Buy a kit
• Buy swag. OSE pen (like 3D Printed Pen, sticker, and t-shirt.
