This week we saw a lot going on at Sector67:<\/p>\n

Monthly meeting welcomed a professional locksmith to talk about locksmithing:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which inevitably turned into: “locks huh, interesting thought . . .”
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wonder if I can get into this door. . . [yes, about 30 seconds]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>They brought along some generic Master lock paddle locks, we broke out the lock class bin and had some fun with the “confidence builder” locks:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Significant work on the Makerbot has led to progress finally, we’re able to print and entire raft of parts unattended: (http:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:973<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We also started playing with support material, testing things out on a WOW riding turtle model<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>All this Makerbotting was capped off with a meeting of the local minds<\/a> through the newly formed Southern WI 3D Printer group<\/a>:

\"\"<\/a>The USGS terrain data->models was roughed out on the CNC mill, looking towards a grand canyon model a little later next week:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>An ancient still in box TRS-80 went under the knife to wire around the RF modulator giving true composite output:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was time to break out an old school tool that was just right for the job:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I believe we also set the record for earliest ever hackerspace opening on a Sunday morning when a seed starting workshop was setting up at 8am. . .\"\"<\/a>Lastly had a great opportunity to visit and tour the Trek plant in Waterloo, WI to poke around their R&D department [of which I obviously couldn’t take any photos, sorry \ud83d\ude41 ]
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>And besides showing wonderful hospitality, they didn’t send us home empty handed:<\/p>\n
