Basics

Work by User:Eric and local people / officials to make a (at least basic) makerspace in Fleming Island's Public Library and/or School(s)
Most likely 1 year or so for hands on (covid vacciene and/or local test confirmed "eradication" ?)
Goal is to:
Make a small one
Build it up over the years
Either leave it at that (if i move in ~3 years)
OR use it to move to a dedicated site and/or make one in each local public school
Also would allow for local dev + education either way

To Do

Business Model
All the machines/tools needed in a bom
- And make other ones for potential future expansions
Maker/Craft Fair Plots

What has been done

Called the library on 6/23/2020

Pre-Planning Analysis

What is already on site

A great selection of books, audio, and movies
Basic computers (internet+video in capable)
A "Meeting Room"
An EV Charging Station
A Large, often low fill, parking lot
A "Car Port" overhang, good for droppofs of supplies etc
A Playground and Park (need to check roofs and tables for events)
A Nearby Road
A Nearby High School
Short ride to:
- Elementary School
- Home Depot
- Walmart
- Target
- A Nearby YMCA with event space as well
- Everything else in flemming island
MAY have some workstation pc's already?

Basic Stuff to Have

Making a Spreadsheet for this here: (insert link)
Not too intrusive, but useful:
Hot Glue Gun
FDM Pen
Drag Knife Cutter
High Res Printer
Outdoor Event Tent + other Equipment for Mini-Makerfairs and outdoor events
Workstation PC's and a Calibrated Monitor
A DSLR or a Few (The High School Has some as well)
A Few Mics and either an audio interface, or a portable audio recorder
Backdrops (White, Black, Green, and Purple) (can easily be storeable)
Some cheap photo/video lights (diy even)
Basic Small Parts

Events/Services

Mini-Makerfair
RC Club
Threadwork Club]]
2D Physical Art Club
3D on Paper Art Club
2D Computer Art Club Krita
3D Computer Art Club Blender
Teaching Tech Classes (teach non-tech savy people how to use computers, smartphones, settings on everything, etc)
OSE Club

As a Recycling Collection Service

This Concept Local Recycling Collection Service
Applied Locally, planning in the dicord channel, info being put here once semi-thought through

Beach Cleanup

Network with Beach Cleanup Groups as a source of plastic and pr (as well as having litter/washed ashore waste free beaches)
Beach Plastic
Unknown Plastic Waste Workflow

Potential Products

Raw Materials

FDM Filament
- Options Include:
  - Pickup
    - Spooled on a 3D Printed Masterspool
    - Loose and zip tied with reusable zip ties (four, equally spaced) (no package, pick up; bring your own bag/masterspool/drybox)
  - Shipped

Misc Small Stuff

3D Printed Fishing Lures
3D Prints for Cosplay/Haloween
3D Printed Models
Lasercut Wood Models
Portable Rocket Stove
Small sculptures and 3d printed art
RC Vehicles (quadcopters, planes, rc cars etc)

Hand Tools

3D Printed Calipers
Jigs for drilling odd holes, etc
Drill Holding Drill Press

Larger Purchases

3D Printed Kayak
Open Source Solar Water Heater
Open Source PV System
Open Source Small Wind Turbine (some (often a bit more wealthy...) boats have small wind turbines to "top off" the batteries. Could make them more affordable, and possibly more common? Also VAWTs are sort of Kinetic Art (need to plot this out with recent 3d printed motor)
Seems ~400w or so is the "standard" according to Here
Bikes/Quadrocycles/ LSEVs
Rocket Firepits

Potential Site for a Building in the future

That nearby cleared, undeveloped land
Not on Zillow so commercial?
Doesn't Show Up on a Search for Commercial Land Either ?
From the GIS map, it seems the cleared area is classified " (PUD) Planned Unit Development"

Personal 3D Printer Buy for User: Eric that will probably end up donated/used there post-setup of the makerspace

Prusa MK3s (Since it is a "Known" with a PILE of print profiles and HUGE Userbase , will probably try and make some crazy (Maybe even 10 ) m^2 D3D or something afterwards
- Also could make just a 3x3 D3D Print Farm type thing next, especially if Prusa follows through and open sources their Print Farm Developments for the Prusa XL , as a print farm for small parts would be especially nice in a makerspace setting
  - Although VORON for may be better in that application due to it's speed? D3D vs Voron Comparison may be a good page to make (I'm guessing D3D is better in simplicity, maximum gantry payload mass (so big Pellet FDM Extruders ), and scalability, but voron is in maximum speed (due to CoreXY design) and userbase as of now)
Repbox or some sort of similar Dry Filament Storage
Stackable 3D Printer Enclosure (+ Inline Duct Fan based Fume Extraction ?)
Maybe a fire extinguisher for good measure, or one of those self deploying extinguisher sphere things
Raspberry Pi + Webcam for Octoprint + Spaghetti Detective
Spare Power Strip with Built in Surge Protector is a good idea
2x Pavers + Foam (or Elastomer?) Square as per that CNC Kitchen video for stability
If money allows an XChange or similar manual tool swapper (and abrasive resistant nozzles + perhaps another extruder?)
Getting ahead of myself a *bit*, main thing is just get the printer so i can start making/prototyping hardware, but also have it in a "controlled" form factor/state (no fire risk, fume release, or undetected massive failures leading to wasted 10-20 USD worth of filament in large prints etc
