Basic OSEH

Basics

• Can be moved if a better solution to This Issue is made
• ANYHOW
• A small, entry level faciliy that is OSE Based, and takes the role in acommunity of
  • Makerspace
  • Lab
  • Education Place (Mix of high school, trade school, and community colledge
  • Community Center (meeting space, events, aid, etc)
  • Recycling Center
  • Store
  • Charity/Non-Profit Co-ordination/administrative building
• It can be done in an existing building, be thrown together in an Extreme Build
  • or PERHAPS as HMCU's but these are less good for full on permanent applications

What it Contains

Materials Aquisition

• A Shredder for plastic
• A Shredder for meltal and heavy scrap (and/or a Hammermill )
• A Solid Biomass Shredder-Powderizer-Pelletizer Device
• A Continious Charcoal production device
• A Filament Extruder
• An Induction Furnace
• An Open Source Electric Kiln
• A De-Soldering Station for low level electronic waste recycling
• Basic hand tools (clippers, cutters, box knifes, screwdrivers) for dissasembling donated items that need to be etc

Materials Storage

• Lots of Bins and a dedicated room (Mainly for storing Plastic Flakes, but also any scrap
• Larger more sturdy bins for stock
• Liquid/Lubricant/Chemcial storage etc
• Bulk gas tanks (Fuel gas (perhaps via gasometer + anerobic digester) , dry compressed air, compressed nitrogen, argon (if available/needed) )

Machines

• D3Ds preferabbly a D3D Array (probably 3x3 or 5*5 optimally against a wall for semi automated print farm use
• Either a manual oxy-fuel or plasma torch or preferably a CNC Torch Table
• One or more welders (peraps one of those all in one models)
• Grinder

Optional Extras

• Various saws
• Ironworker
• Precious Plastic devices (mainly injection, and POSSIBLY extrusion) for quickly producing lots of small componets (zip ties, caps, slastic screws, etc)

Hand Tools

• Various Power Tools
• Soldering + Desolderins Station + Tools
• Multimeteres
• One or more ossilloscopes
• Varios meters/gauges

Saftey Stuff

Generic Stuff

• Hard Hats
• Saftey glasses and/or goggles
• Face Sheilds

Welding Stuff

• Welding Sheilds and/or goggles
• Welding Jacket
• High Heat/Welding Gloves
• Welding Curtain to go outside of the "welding/torching" area

Misc

• Large Air Compressor
• Power Distribution
• Air Line Distribution
• Networking + Wifi etc?
• Lighting? (Modular CEB Lights perhaps?)
• Tables etc
• Laptop Cart (for random use + events/teaching sessions)
• On site storage (simple nas etc? for file sharing when doing group edits of cad and hackathons)

Basic Layout

User:Eric's Rough Sketch of a "From Scratch" OSEH

File

• Link to the file so it doesn't explode all over the page

Explanation

• This will sort of be left to right
• SO
• Firt on the left there is a "U: shaped driveway
  • This is for quick drop off/pick up of people and supplies by vehicles that don't need to park. It's VERY efficient, used by a local charity i worked for "Waste Not Want Not" which was essentially the collection and distribution center for all the local food banks so LOTS of throughput at times
• This then branches off as well
• This is optional for a parking lot/area (could even be dirt/designated grass/gravel), and a road/path leading to garage doors, if they are there already, or for future modules/expansions (build a lifetrac inside, then drive it out) (Also useful for moving large materials and/or devices through
• Then their are the first two rooms
• The "top" one is multipurpose:
  • Most of the time it doubles as the "reception area" and the "mud room" so it has a desk with info and/or staff, and keeps dirt outside and ac in to a certain degree
• Below this is a directly attached room for storing donated recycling, scrap, and items
  • The Animal Shelter i currently volunteer uses a room for this and it is NEAR ESSENTIAL (we get lots of donations of pet food, cat clay litter etc, and it needs to be sorted so a dedicated room reduces clutter and aids in efficiency, and that is with PRE PACKAGED GOODS, random scap and plastic requires much more work)
  • This room can be merged with the recycling area too
  • This has a table for sorting, a part wash style wash area, a shredder for plastic, a shredder for metal, a desoldering station, various hand tools, and bins for intermediate storage, and then transportation to the recycling area
• Next right of the collection room is the recycling area
  • This has:
    • Filament Makers
    • Optional Precious Platics Stuff
    • Electric Kiln
    • Induction Furnace
  • It either feeds into the main area or the storage room
• Nest is the main "work room"
  • This is essentially just a workshop floor and is arranged as needed
  • Main concern is a curtain sheild around the weld/torch area so people not working there don't burn their retinas by not wearing a mask
• Finally there is the storage room which stores recycled materials, stock, and various other supplies and tools not in use, or near use
