Collectively we need a "maker" practice. I will support it, and aid
finance to my ability soon.
I urge to spread the news to make more participation.
In addition, i would like to take this as an opportunity to organize
responsibility for equipments we collectively purchased for making and
hacking. Please start some discussion on it. There needs to be a track
on how the resource was used, shared, hacked etc.... point of contact,
where is it now, in what state... if we are really imagining a maker
space, we need to have common maximum safety practice as well as robust
resource management strategy.

ganesh

Subject: 3D Printer for the community - Fund Raising
To: <puduvailug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:puduvailug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>>
Hi,
For a quite long time people in FSHM community were thinking of building a 3D printer, but had a failed attempt which also was a way of holding up the meaning for H in FSHM after building the weather station a long time ago. This would become yet another try on engaging people from different disciplines so that we can re-establish the fact of inclusivity by means of hacktivism.
*How did this idea reborn?*
COVID-19
In response to the pandemic, there was a try on building a ventilator by forming a special interest group. There we realised the importance of hackerspace with all the specialized tools and infrastructure which includes a 3D printer. As a first step towards hackerspace and also for engaging people from various disciplines why not build our own 3D printer.
*Who is on the team?*
As of now myself(ragulkanth), sarath, ranjithkumar (a mechanical engineer), ganesh gopal are in the team for building one for the community. Volunteers are welcome. Please reach us through either email or @fshmpy:matrix.org <http://matrix.org>
