The Tim VanSandt Makership LVL1 Makership

Note: This program is funded completely through donations and NOT through our membership dues.

• We currently have enough funds to offer a Makership. See our treasurer to make a donation.
• Makership Application Deadline - Last day of each month @ 11:59 PM.
• Submit your project for a chance to win 3 months of membership and $100 toward your project.
• Apply at www.lvl1.org/makership

• If you would like to donate ($5/mo) to this cause, see one of the directors and we can set you up!

Equipment Report

• The prusa repair is underway, parts will be here on Friday
• Earplugs are in the woodshop
• Please make sure that you review the instructions and manual and ask for the training prior to using the equipment. Someone can get really hurt.
• Please give me as much information as possible; i/e links to websites. Consumables are difficult to find sometimes and I am not a mind reader!
• If your project doesn't fit on your shelf or in large member storage, please take it off site. The boneyard isn't your own personal storage shed.
• Community safety is more important than your personal convenience.
