- begin assembly of printer at FeF
- created spacer parts to assist in keeping plates aligned
- needed to source M6x30 socket head bolts to attach one Universal CNC Axis to the carriage of another.
- eight total, 2 for each side of extruder axis and 2 for the carraige of the Zaxis and 2 to mount build plate

Bas, Andrea, Michel, Jonathan, Marcin.
- Bas + Gerry Anzalone + Mark (a teacher). Using Athena printer - 2 people build a single Athena printer in 1 day. Run + calibrate + software the second day. Runs Franklin. Supplies all open source programs - 300 3D printers built. This summer 150 printers were built.

- Mark + Bas - http://phidiasllc.com/
- Andrea - program manager in the IT sector, for cloud services. Provide virtualized server, with open source server and services. Easy deployed by other organization. Virtualized server - take one server, and install hypervisor - vmware - proxmox https://www.proxmox.com/en/ - softeware layer that emulates other servers. Perhaps Debian and Centos.
- Andrea is working on server infrastructure for OSE
- Templates on top of mediawiki - Andrea - wikifab.org -
- Clement & Pierre - on MediaWiki templates.
- France - Hemp Decorticator - full chain of tools to extract tissue -
- Route - Beagle Bone Green + RAMBo.
- Franklin for height control.

RAMBo open source controller. Extensibility to >2A can be addressed by connecting outputs of the RAMBo to a larger stepper driver via the step + direction pins.

Added 'latest team meeting' video to D3D Development. Jonathan joins team. Planning Factor e Farm build data collection next week, and with those results, we will go forward with improvements prototyping with Jonathan Kocurek, Torbjorn Ludvigsen, and possibly Joshua Langevin and Will Bombardier.

Purchased a Prusa i3 kit from Folger Technologies, the aluminum extrusion version. Goal is to evaluate build, and see what it takes to do a one day build - and determine more specific value proposition as far as how to present the workshop. Considering auto bed level addition - reviews say that calibration is a big issue, and in our case, can be a show-stopper for a one day build. 2 people per team can make it happen more easily if we design for parallel process - definitely doable. I have seen reports of 7-24 hours for the complete build until good printing.
