  • Held 2 circles during immersion to increase understanding, hold space for emotions & tensions, and keep social fabric together
  • Added beginning of governance system based on holacracy
  • Created 6 layer documentation template & standard, which was used to document 3d printer

Record of Sep 2018, Aug 2018, July 2018

Sat Sep 29, 2018

  • 3 foot 3d printer build
  • Product idea: library demo, funding pitch, working on social infrastructure, vote to determine support priorities: 3/4 or 3/7 conversion rate for excitement, possibly 2/7 to donate monthly given right pitch + incentives; for example, invitation to facebook live / podcast event where you can ask questions and get them answered about anything
  • On Documentation: freeze unless its reflection after a build. use discourse to guide questions
  • Vocabulary list: carriage, idler, driver, RAMPS board, arduino, MOSFET, axis, heated bed, thermister, CURA, Linux, OSE Linux, grinder, angle grinder, dremel, ironworker, cnc, cnc circuit mill, lathe, bearings, gear pulley, stepper motor, frame, z-home, bed calibration, alan key, screw, bolt, belt, tension, tension screw, epoxy, microfactory, critical path,

pre-workshop adjustments

  • INVENTORY: parts for 3 printers, plus 1-2 printers to use and print parts
  • print: cable chain end piece needs a hole for m16?
  • freeCAD and print: smaller extruder holder piece needs to have learger holes so you don't have to ream the holes , the 3 holes that hold the motor in (Ream the 3 holes using a power drill and a 4mm drill bit.
  • freeCAD and print: put a notch in the duct for the large fan bc the clip that is supposed to close it gets blocked by this little bump sticking out

freeCAD Adjustments
  • cable chain end piece needs a hole for m16?
  • end stops need a pad so that it can be glued instead of magnets
  • create an OSE magnet as a take home gift
  • adapter plate needs a pad
  • smaller extruder holder piece needs to have learger holes so you don't have to ream the holes , the 3 holes that hold the motor in (Ream the 3 holes using a power drill and a 4mm drill bit.)
  • put a notch in the duct for the large fan bc the clip that is supposed to close it gets blocked by this little bump sticking out

Immersion Calendar (OSE Legends) Great Russian Cartoon

13 Days:

  1. 1 & 2 day finish documentation - Need Marcin's time
  2. 3 & 4 day instructor manual, sourcing of materials - Need Marcin's time
  3. replicate build w/ manual
  4. day 5 * make your printer work.
  5. day 6 * do 1 builds to make a 3D printers ---- free time for Marcin
  6. day 7 do a public printer
  7. day 8 * print parts for 1 day (like grinder) - includes getting all the print files, how to print, where the files are, variations in cura
  8. day 9 day design parts - freeCAD work to print file
  9. day 11 & 12 day certification test , * prep marketing, * do workshop 1. Build 2. everything around running the workshop, finding venue, getting parts, production engineering
  10. day 13 day marketing -- do

Handbook Editing Checklist:

  • Simple Enough?: writing makes sense
  • Naming conventions: ex: use numbers
  • Prior Knowledge: do ppl know what this is?
  • Official Parts Name:
  • Consistent tone: clear and accessible, trending towards informal, but specific
  • Consistent instruction: for assembly like pieces, even if they're different, use close-to-the-same instruction as possible.
  • Unique Step Naming: similar steps that are slightly different should be unique
  • Explaining Differences: when things change, explain why.
  • Pic + Text Cohesiveness: pic + text work together to explain how to do stuff.
  • Pictures named as Figures: for easy reference

Time spent on OSE developer test:

  • Installing Linux — 10-15 hours
  • Learning FreeCAD — 15-20 hours
  • Documenting Work — 5 hours

Self Grade: 95/100 | Mis-edited portion of video documentation near the beginning. Got cube together. Also ran into trouble with tubes being re-positioned when fastening bolts.
