Caring for the Space

Garbage and Recycling
Bags go out Monday & Thursday (except Federal holidays) after 5pm, directly in front of Cellar Dog (75 Christoper St). Please be sure to apply an orange Action sticker to each bag/bundle.

Put out up to:
 * 2 bags of garbage
 * 1 recycling bag of glass/plastic/metal
 * 1 recycling bag of paper
 * 1 bundle of cardboard. Cardboard should be broken down and taped up into packs.

If it's after 11pm, look to make sure there are still bags there, otherwise it's too late. Packs go inside the metal fence around the tree in front of 75 Christoper (the garbage men are very specific).

Laser Maintenance

 * Talk to Joe Stilin if you are interested in caring for the laser. Here is a list of maintenance tasks that need doing at different intervals.
 * Lens cleaning
 * Mirror cleaning (there are 3, two of which are easy to access)
 * Air filter cleaning/replacement.
 * The air filter has 5 different layers and usually the top fiberglass one needs cleaning about every 2 weeks, depending on usage. The 3 below that get replaced after 1000 hours. From top down, they are:
 * Screen
 * Fiberglass
 * Cartridge
 * 70lbs activated charcoal
 * fiberglass
 * Beam alignment (this is rarely done, usually after tube replacement)
 * Bed leveling (also rarely needed)

CNC Router Maintenance

 * Talk to the Board if you are interested in caring for the CNC. Maintenance tasks are:
 * Resurfacing the spoilboard (every 4-6 weeks depending on usage).
 * Greasing the Z ballscrew and Z linear bearings.
 * Greasing X and Y linear bearings.
 * Laser alignment.
