The Premier Cincinnati Hackerspace

Thanks to Mike, Tim and Nancy for helping with the learn to solder table at the 2017 Books by the Banks event.nnI think we did over 200 boards! I don't think we made any children cry this time. :)

Just in time for Halloween, the vacuum former created its first parts today for member Bill.nnnnBill was making a case for an old TI computer. It turned out awesome and Bill showed us some of the tricks for making a good vacuum formed part.n

Thanks to everyone that helped at the Cincinnati MiniMaker Faire 2017.nWe tossed some basketballs on Saturday and did many Learn to Solder lessons Saturday and Sunday.nnnnBecause of the rain on Sunday we did not setup the Trebuchets outside, we setup one to be balanced with a watermelon by the LTS booth. :)nThe teardown was interesting but we were able to disassemble both Trebuchets and fit them (and the LTS stuff) in our minivan. Since it was raining we elected to do the unload on Tuesday before the meeting.nnnnThanks again to everyone that helped out! I think it was a good time and we made some kids day a bit more special. (Especially the one that we made cry). ;)

nnHive13 will be part of the upcoming Cincinnati Mini Maker Faire October 7th and 8th at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds.nnhttps://cincinnati.makerfaire.com/nnWe will be demonstrating Will's Trebuchet (currently launching basketballs over 80ft) and a Learn to Solder station to make blinky badges.nIt would be nice to have some touchy projects that we can show off at the LTR booth. Maybe some cool 3D prints.nFeel free to come down and volunteer to man the basketball chucker or the LTS booth (you can get free admission). :)
