Now that my garden is 100% led and pretty damn full, there is not much room to build any new fixtures. BUT, i still want to build shit. I feel like I have mastered building lights with hand tools, so I am going to need to step it up a notch...
I recently joined a Makers workshop in my city (to my surprise, there are many options all over the US). It costs $100/mo and grants access to 4 million dollars worth of equipment. The catch is that you have to take safety and basic use classes on the equipment before you can use it. So far I have learned:
-3D printing
-CNC mill
-Laser cutting/etching
-AutoCAD inventor, illustrator, cut3d
-MIG & Tig welding
After Thanksgiving, Ill be taking sheet metal fab, carbon fiber basics, injection molding, vacuum forming, hydrojet cutting, arduino classes, and the list goes on.
So stay tuned... I should be able to make some pretty cool stuff. Today, I am screwing around, trying to 3D print an all in one cob holder/reflector that snaps onto an arctic 64plus without drilling or tapping.
