== Authorization Checklist ==

This is here as a checklist for proctors to follow when authorizing people. It can also help remind you of things after you are authorized. Just reading this does not authorizing you.

* How to get authorized
** Watch [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pumping-station-one the forum] for announcements or ask on that forum if no announcements have been made for a few weeks.

* Authorization group size
** About 4 (each person will run a job)

* Safety
** Safety Glasses
** Hearing Protection
** Dust Protection

* What can go wrong (and what to do)

* How does machine work
** Axes
** Motors
** Spindle

* Daily Maintenance
** Spindle bearing warm up.
*** The "C5" warm up routine should be run on the first job of the day. It runs the spindle at 3 speeds for 3 minutes each to warm up the bearings. (When it doubt, warm it up)

* Extended Maintenance
** Grease the racks
** Use Grease type: TBD

* Machine Control
** Turn on sequence
*** Log into computer
*** Turn on Shopbot big red and yellow twist switch (see zeroing below)
*** Insert Key and turn to "engaged" position.
*** The VDF should light up, the spindle fan should be on.
*** Start "Shopbot 3" program.
*** Open Tools...Spindle RPM Control menu (to allow RPM control)
**** Make sure collet is tightened or no tool or nut is installed
**** Run the C5 warm up routine
** Jogging
*** Keypad
*** Arrow Keys + Page Up, Page Down(ctrl for fast jog)

* CAM Software
** Vectric V Carve
** Just the basics...separate class for advanced V Carve.
** On line videos

* Running your Job
** Zeroing X & Y
*** With machine off slow push gantry towards X0 until it hits hard stops (optional)
*** Turn on big red switch while still holding gantry.
*** Jog machine away from X0 Y0 so machine will find switches
*** Click X, Y zero button.
** Zeroing Z (top of work piece)
*** Jog over your work piece
*** Place Z zero plate on work piece under the bit
*** Place clip on bit
*** Test connection by touching plate to bit and watch for light #1 to light
*** Click the Z 0 button (it will touch off twice!!!)

* Waste Board and clamping

* Collets, Bits, Feeds and Speeds
** Collets
*** We currently have collets for 1/2, 1/4, 3/16 and 1/8" shank bits.
*** Try to keep them clean and store them away from dust between uses. Dust between the gaps will produce runout.
*** If the collet nuts are not threading smoothly try cleaning the threads with a small brush, spindle threads as well.
** Bits
*** Use bits designed for the material you are cutting. Don't just steal a bits from the Bridgeport. They won't do a good job and will probably overheat.
*** For cutting out things, use the smallest appropriate bit. Using a 1/2" bit to cutout will just create a lot of mess.

* ShopBot should not be used for...
** Metals other than aluminum
** Cutting anything that requires coolant or lubricant (it will wreck the waste board)
** Ripping lumber (use the table saw)
** Thickness Planning (Use the planner if you can)
** Drilling holes with drill bits (a small end mill works better)

* How to leave the machine (be excellent)
** Machine
*** Home the machine to X0, Y0
*** Turn off both switches
*** Remove Key
*** Remove bit and collet.
*** Place both collet wrenches on top of electronics box
*** clean up work area
*** Smooth out waste board if you puckered it at all.

** Post a picture please :-)

== Pre-Flight Checklist ==
* Did you home the machine?
* Is the dust collect gate open?
* Are you sure you have the right X, Y orientation for your file and material?
* Did you set the proper X,Y zero for your work piece on the Shopbot.
* Is the correct bit installed and tight?
* Is the key in and turned on?
* Is the dust skirt set right so it does not get smashed.
* Is Z zero set to the work top?
* Is the touch plate and clip returned.
* Is the material properly secured
* Safety glasses, hearing protection on.
* Start the job with the E-Stop ready to hit.
* Turn on dust collector ( I like to wait so I can hear that things sound right on the shopbot before turning on the collector)

}}

== STATUS ==
7/2/13: Right extruder only for now

== How To Use ==

If you get stuck and can't find the information you need on this page, google is your friend. So is [http://support.makerbot.com]. There's a lot of information on this machine out there, so don't be afraid to do some research. It'll be fun. Plus, you can come back here and contribute your findings.

=== Get a Thing to print ===

Download something from [http://thingiverse.com Thingiverse], or some other website, or design a Thing using 3D modeling software. // list some free 3D CAD programs

Your Thing should be a "watertight", solid model in STL format (binary or ASCII, doesn't matter).
=== Slice Your Model ===

You'll need to turn your 3D model into toolpaths that the printer understands. This involves "slicing" your model into a bunch of layers. To do this we'll need some software.

It's best to stick with [http://www.makerbot.com/makerware/ MakerWare]. There are plenty of other options which you can try if you're adventurous, but MakerWare has been developed by MakerBot to provide an easy experience with the Replicator.

Once you've got MakerWare downloaded and installed, follow these basic steps:

#Drag and drop your STL into the model environment
#Use the "Move", "Rotate", and "Scale" functions to alter your model as needed (remember to click "View" before trying to rotate the view again)
#Click on your model, and select your extruder under the "Object" menu on the bottom left (make sure to use the right extruder while the left one isn't working)
#Click "Make"
#Select "Export to a File", and export for "The Replicator (Dual)"
#The 3 default profiles (low, standard, high) are a good place to start (but keep in mind that the "high" setting will take much longer to slice)
#Make sure "Raft" is selected
#If your model has significant bridges or overhang, make sure "Supports" is also selected

===Loading a file in the printer===

#Turn on the machine using the switch on the back
#Put in the SD card
#From the main menu, select "Build from SD"
#Select your file

The machine will now detect its limits, start preheating the extruder, and then print your thing!

===The SD Card doesn't work, what should i do?===
#The machine is designed to take SD cards 2GB or smaller that are formatted with a FAT16 file system.
#Check the file system on the card you are using.
#for MAC OSX there are instructions here: [http://mtbaldy.us/~dnewman/lor/osx-sd-fat16.html]
#if that doesn't work, there is a formatting utility from SD that can be downloaded here: [https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/]

== Tips and Tweaks==

===Make sure the build platform is leveled===

===Part not sticking?===

After making sure the build platform is leveled, a good solution is to increase the temperature of the build platform. In the "gcode" tab in ReplicatorG, change the text to set the bed temperature to 118ºC instead of 110º. There will be a line near the top of the file like this: 

M109 S110 T0 (set HBP temperature) 

Change it to:

M109 S118 T0 (set HBP temperature) 

It might also say T1 instead of T0, but the important thing is that it is set to 118º. Save the file once you've made the changes, then proceed to save it as an S3G for the SD card.

===Preheat while slicing your model===

7/2/13: Right extruder only for now

== How To Use ==

If you get stuck and can't find the information you need on this page, google is your friend. So is [http://support.makerbot.com]. There's a lot of information on this machine out there, so don't be afraid to do some research. It'll be fun. Plus, you can come back here and contribute your findings.

=== Get a Thing to print ===

Download something from [http://thingiverse.com Thingiverse], or some other website, or design a Thing using 3D modeling software. // list some free 3D CAD programs

Your Thing should be a "watertight", solid model in STL format (binary or ASCII, doesn't matter).
=== Slice Your Model ===

You'll need to turn your 3D model into toolpaths that the printer understands. This involves "slicing" your model into a bunch of layers. To do this, we'll need some software.

For the Replicator, it's best to stick with [http://www.makerbot.com/makerware/ MakerWare]. There are plenty of other options which you can try if you're adventurous, but MakerWare has been developed by MakerBot to provide the easiest possible experience.

#Drag and drop your STL into the model environment
#Use the "Move", "Rotate", and "Scale" functions to alter your model as needed (remember to click "View" before trying to rotate the view again)
#Click on your model, and select your extruder under the "Object" menu on the bottom left (make sure to use the right extruder while the left one isn't working)
#Click "Make"
#Select "Export to a File", and export for "The Replicator (Dual)"
#The 3 default profiles (low, standard, high) are a good place to start (but keep in mind that the "high" setting will take much longer to slice)
#Make sure "Raft" is selected
#If your model has significant bridges or overhang, make sure "Supports" is also selected

===Loading a file in the printer===

#Turn on the machine using the switch on the back
#Put in the SD card
#From the main menu, select "Build from SD"
#Select your file

The machine will now detect its limits, start preheating the extruder, and then print your thing!

===The SD Card doesn't work, what should i do?===
#The machine is designed to take SD cards 2GB or smaller that are formatted with a FAT16 file system.
#Check the file system on the card you are using.
#for MAC OSX there are instructions here: [http://mtbaldy.us/~dnewman/lor/osx-sd-fat16.html]
#if that doesn't work, there is a formatting utility from SD that can be downloaded here: [https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/]

== Tips and Tweaks==

===Make sure the build platform is leveled===

===Part not sticking?===

After making sure the build platform is leveled, a good solution is to increase the temperature of the build platform. In the "gcode" tab in ReplicatorG, change the text to set the bed temperature to 118ºC instead of 110º. There will be a line near the top of the file like this: 

M109 S110 T0 (set HBP temperature) 

Change it to:

M109 S118 T0 (set HBP temperature) 

It might also say T1 instead of T0, but the important thing is that it is set to 118º. Save the file once you've made the changes, then proceed to save it as an S3G for the SD card.

=== Get a Thing to print ===

Download something from [http://thingiverse.com Thingiverse], or some other website, or design a Thing using 3D modeling software. // list some free 3D CAD programs

Your Thing should be a "watertight", solid model in STL format (binary or ASCII, doesn't matter).
=== Slice Your Model ===

You'll need to turn your 3D model into toolpaths that the printer understands. This involves "slicing" your model into a bunch of layers. To do this, we'll need some software.

For the Replicator, it's best to stick with [http://replicat.org MakerWare]. There are plenty of other options which you can try if you're adventurous, but MakerWare has been developed by MakerBot to provide the easiest possible experience.

#Drag and drop your STL into the model environment
#Use the "Move", "Rotate", and "Scale" functions to alter your model as needed (remember to click "View" before trying to rotate the view again)
#Click on your model, and select your extruder under the "Object" menu on the bottom left (make sure to use the right extruder while the left one isn't working)
#Click "Make"
#Select "Export to a File", and export for "The Replicator (Dual)"
#The 3 default profiles (low, standard, high) are a good place to start (but keep in mind that the "high" setting will take much longer to slice)
#Make sure "Raft" is selected
#If your model has significant bridges or overhang, make sure "Supports" is also selected

===Loading a file in the printer===

#Turn on the machine using the switch on the back
#Put in the SD card
#From the main menu, select "Build from SD"
#Select your file

The machine will now detect its limits, and start preheating the extruder

===The SD Card doesn't work, what should i do?===
#The machine is designed to take SD cards 2GB or smaller that are formatted with a FAT16 file system.
#Check the file system on the card you are using.
#for MAC OSX there are instructions here: [http://mtbaldy.us/~dnewman/lor/osx-sd-fat16.html]
#if that doesn't work, there is a formatting utility from SD that can be downloaded here: [https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/]

== Tips and Tweaks==

===Make sure the build platform is leveled===

===Part not sticking?===

After making sure the build platform is leveled, a good solution is to increase the temperature of the build platform. In the "gcode" tab in ReplicatorG, change the text to set the bed temperature to 118ºC instead of 110º. There will be a line near the top of the file like this: 

M109 S110 T0 (set HBP temperature) 

Change it to:

M109 S118 T0 (set HBP temperature) 

It might also say T1 instead of T0, but the important thing is that it is set to 118º. Save the file once you've made the changes, then proceed to save it as an S3G for the SD card.

Walkways are specially marked areas which are kept free of obstructions so that individuals may pass through them unhindered. [[Area Hosts]] designate walkways in their area at their discretion. Adherence to [http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.access-board.gov%2Fadaag%2Fhtml%2Fadaag.htm%234.3&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNF7BraZ0UgO-rBBGbXATzSzqxS6BQ ADA width requirements] is strongly encouraged where possible.

Designating “walkways” is an excellent way for area hosts to keep floorspace clear and are recommended for areas around stationary tools, shelves, and anywhere else where obstructions are unacceptable.

Although some large projects may inevitably encroach on a walkway while they’re being worked on, this should be kept to an absolute minimum. Materials should never be left in a walkway.

A Worktable is a surface to be used only for projects being worked on '''''right now'''''. [[Area Hosts]] designate Worktables in their area at their discretion. Worktables are marked either with spray paint ([http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:109773 lasercut stencils are nice]) or with other markings devised by the area host. Worktables must never be used to store projects not being worked on '''''right now'''''.

TidySpace

2013-06-27T20:18:33Z

Colin: /* History */

The TidySpace policy is designed to make the “space” in “hackerspace” easier for everyone to use. It introduces a visual system of marking and tagging to indicate when something is out of place, and gives people tools to help keep things orderly. It relies on participation from every member, but is administered by area hosts and officers. It is, of course, to be executed alongside the [[Membership agreement | Pumping Station: One Membership Agreement]] and the overarching rule: “be excellent to each other.”

==History==

The policy was compiled by [[User:Colin | Colin]] from modified versions of policies used by i3 Detroit and TC Maker. It was first unofficially proposed to the PS:One board and membership in January 2013. At that point it underwent a series of contributions, tweaks, forks, and underground adoptions. Eventually it was brought to an official membership vote in June 2013. You can find the [[TidySpace Vote | original vote page here]].

==Elements of TidySpace==

Refer to the individual articles for all the details.

===Project Parking===

[[Project Parking]] policies are for projects that can't go into personal storage space, either because they're too big or too difficult to put away. Area hosts may issue parking permits and parking tickets at their discretion.

===Limbo===

[[Limbo]] is a scrapyard for things that might be useful to someone. Be sure to abide by the rules of Limbo.

===Lost and Found===

PS:One has a [[Lost and Found]] for personal items like coats, multitools, cell phones, etc.

===Wut Zones===

If you're not sure where something belongs, put it in the nearest [[Wut Zones | Wut Zone]]

===Worktables===

[[Worktables]] are designated by area hosts and should always be kept clear when not in use.

===Walkways===

[[Walkways]] are designated by area hosts and must always be kept free of obstructions.

===Area Hosts===

Each area in the space has an [[Area Hosts | Area Host]]. The TidySpace policies rely heavily on area host intervention, so it also allows them to recruit helpers as necessary.

Wut Zones

2013-06-27T20:13:31Z

Colin:

Each [[:Category:Hosted_Areas | hosted area]] has a Wut Zone, a marked space designated for items in need of a home. If you encounter an item out of place and you're not sure where it should go, put it in the nearest Wut Zone! The [[Area Hosts | area hosts]] will sort through them as often as they’re able, but other members can also help.

====What to put in a Wut Zone====

*Things that probably belong somewhere nearby (have a look around first)
*Things that aren’t obviously useful, but aren’t obviously trash
*Things that bear no indication of where they belong

====What happens to things in Wut Zones====

Things found in Wut Zones will be sorted by anyone. If you encounter a populated Wut Zone, do this:
*Put the item where it belongs (if you definitely know where it goes)
*Designate a new home with a labeled bin, shelf, pegboard outline, or similar (let the area host know, chances are they’ll appreciate it)
*Take item to lost and found

Only area hosts are allowed to:
*Issue parking tickets
*Throw items away
*Take items to Limbo

Limbo is a clearly marked and well lit set of shelves dedicated to items which might be useful to someone, and are therefore not immediately discarded. Everything brought into limbo is marked with a date. Date marking apparatus is attached to the shelf. Anyone may remove anything from Limbo at any time. [[Area Hosts]] and directors will periodically clear out the oldest items.

====What can be put in Limbo and who can put it there?====

*Area hosts: Items with valid parking tickets issued more than 2 weeks in the past
*Area hosts: Items that have been in the lost and found for more than a month
*All members: Items you own

====Limbo rules:====

*Do not bring items to PS:One specifically to put in Limbo.
*Items in the Limbo MUST be dated so that old items can be cleaned out
*If an item is of a known level of brokenness, label as such
*Items must fit on the shelves. You can make room by (re)moving or disassembling other items
*Anyone may remove anything from Limbo at any time
*If you take something out of Limbo for personal use, it must be stored properly
*If an item is too big to fit in Limbo, it is subject to disassembly or ejection from the space. In this case, if the owner is known, they shall be given two weeks to arrange for removal of the item from the space.

Colin:

Every square foot in the space falls under the purview of an area host. The area host is your primary contact for any questions, concerns, or problems that arise in an area. In each area, the following information should be clearly visible:
*name of the area
*name and contact information the area host
*(optional but encouraged) alternate contacts for area helpers

Area hosts may, at their discretion, recruit other members to help them manage parking requests, parking permits, parking tickets, Worktables, Walkways, and Wut Zones. Area helpers agree to communicate all administrative activities to the area hosts. Area hosts may revoke administrative permissions at any time, but should avoid this by selecting their helpers carefully.

Project Parking is part of the [[TidySpace]] initiative. While some projects are too large or unwieldy to be kept in personal storage, the space consumed by such projects must be carefully regulated to ensure optimal hacking efficiency.

==Parking Permit==

===What it is===

[https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwU2oAAQz50zRDh4ckQ4Y29fcGc/edit This green tag] should be placed on any item, project or materials used for personal or group projects, which are too large to store in personal locker or shelf space. Items with a properly issued parking permit must be kept in a container or on a shelf and must not obstruct pathways or workspace. Permits expire after 30 days, or on the date selected by the issuer, whichever comes first. Items with a properly issued parking permit must not be left on a Worktable or in a Walkway.

===Who can issue===

Parking permits may be issued or renewed by any officer, director, or area host, but renewals can be overruled by a majority vote of the same. Permit renewals follow the same process as new permits. The individual responsible for the material should be notified immediately of the date of issue so they can honor the term of the permit.

===What’s on the form===

The tag includes a brief description of the material covered, the maximum square footage taken up by the material, the name and contact information of the individual responsible for the material, the date the permit expires and the name and signature of the issuer.

==Parking Ticket==

===What it is===

[https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwU2oAAQz50zRjJ5MkFfLU5oZXc/edit This red tag] should be placed on any item, project or materials found in the space without an owner or any indication how long it will be there or who owns it, or if the material is obstructing a walkway, common work areas or work surfaces, or is otherwise stored in a manner that is dangerous to the material or individuals passing by.

===Who can issue===

Parking tickets may be issued by any officer, director, or area host.

===What’s on the form===

The tag includes space for a brief description of the material in question, instructions for the owner of the item, the name of the individual issuing the ticket, and the date of issue.

===What happens to ticketed items===

The ticket can be struck by the issue of a valid parking permit, or in the case of space property, proper labeling and storage. Ticketed material may be moved out of the way or placed in a Wut Zone, but must not be moved to Limbo until the 72 hours after the ticket is issued. The issuer, and/or area host, accepts the obligation to make a good-faith effort to contact the person responsible for the material (if known) to let them know their material should be retrieved or marked with a valid parking permit.

If the owner is legitimately unavailable to take care of their materials within the 72 hours, the issuer and/or area host may make arrangements with the owner at their discretion.

==Parking Request==

===What it is===

[https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwU2oAAQz50zVHlsTnIxcFAySUU/edit This yellow tag] should be placed on any item or group of items that looks like it might be in need of either a parking permit or parking ticket. These exist so that any member can flag items needing permits/tickets and bring them to the attention of area hosts. A web form will be created for notifying area hosts of parking requests. Requests for a parking ticket may be removed by the owner of the items if the items are moved into personal storage or removed from the space.

===Who can issue===

Requests can be issued by any member.

===What’s on the form===

The tag includes space for a brief description of the material in question, check boxes to indicate the nature of the request (ticket or permit), the name of the individual issuing the request, and the date of issue.

==Standing Projects==

If you need to leave a project for a short time (less than 24 hours), you are expected to put a note on your project. If other members encounter your project while you're out, the note will communicate to other members how long the project has been there, how soon they can its owner will be back to take care of it, and how to contact its owner in case it needs to be moved. “Standing Project” forms will be available but other media may be used.

Standing projects should be tagged by their owner with the following
*name & contact information
*date & time the items are being left
*justification (examples: "wet paint", "home depot run", "dinner")
*when you intend to retrieve the items

Make sure your tag is visible, legible, and securely attached to your items. As a courtesy to others, and for the protection of your project, do not leave projects on a Worktable, in a Walkway, or anywhere it will be in other people's way. Projects left in people's way may be respectfully moved.

Standing projects with notes over 24 hours old are automatically subject to ticketing. Projects with notes past their stated time of retrieval are also subject to ticketing.

==Moving Other People’s Projects==

If you encounter what appears to be an abandoned project in a Walkway, Worktable or any place where it obstructs your activities, take a moment to assess the situation. The project’s owner might be somewhere in the building or outside. Try to find them. If they’ve left the building there should be a note nearby. After looking for a note and verifying that the person is not at the space, proceed while keeping the following in mind:

*Respecting other people's property is, of course, part of Being Excellent.
*If possible, carefully place the items in a container so that they don’t get scattered.
*Put the project somewhere nearby, such as the nearest Wut Zone.
*If items are drying, painstakingly arranged, or susceptible to damage from gentle touching, avoid moving them. If the owner is known, communicate with them.

You might feel frustrated when other people's projects are left in your way. That's understandable. But remember the rules. Be respectful and non-confrontational. Keep in mind that nobody's perfect, and that lapses in policy cannot be blamed solely on one individual. Use the opportunity to improve the space’s operation through communication.

Area Hosts

2013-06-27T18:32:13Z

Colin:

Every square foot in the space falls under the purview of an area host. The area host is your primary contact for any questions, concerns, or problems that arise in an area. In each area, the following information should be clearly visible:
*name of the area
*name and contact information the area host
*(optional but encouraged) alternate contacts for area helpers

Area hosts may, at their discretion, recruit other members to help them manage parking requests, parking permits, parking tickets, Worktables, Walkways, and Wut Zones. Area helpers agree to communicate all administrative activities to the area hosts. Area hosts may revoke administrative permissions at any time, but should avoid this by selecting their helpers carefully.

TidySpace

The TidySpace policy is designed to make the “space” in “hackerspace” easier for everyone to use. It introduces a visual system of marking and tagging to indicate when something is out of place, and gives people tools to help keep things orderly. It relies on participation from every member, but is administered by area hosts and officers. It is, of course, to be executed alongside the [[Membership agreement | Pumping Station: One Membership Agreement]] and the overarching rule: “be excellent to each other.”

==History==

The policy was compiled from modified versions of policies used by i3 Detroit and TC Maker. It was first unofficially proposed to the PS:One board and membership in January 2013. At that point it underwent a series of tweaks, forks, and underground adoptions. Eventually it was brought to an official membership vote in June 2013. You can find the [[TidySpace Vote | original vote page here]].

==Elements of TidySpace==

Refer to the individual articles for all the details.

===Project Parking===

[[Project Parking]] policies are for projects that can't go into personal storage space, either because they're too big or too difficult to put away. Area hosts may issue parking permits and parking tickets at their discretion.

===Limbo===

[[Limbo]] is a scrapyard for things that might be useful to someone. Be sure to abide by the rules of Limbo.

===Lost and Found===

PS:One has a [[Lost and Found]] for personal items like coats, multitools, cell phones, etc.

===Wut Zones===

If you're not sure where something belongs, put it in the nearest [[Wut Zones | Wut Zone]]

===Worktables===

[[Worktables]] are designated by area hosts and should always be kept clear when not in use.

===Walkways===

[[Walkways]] are designated by area hosts and must always be kept free of obstructions.

===Area Hosts===

Each area in the space has an [[Area Hosts | Area Host]]. The TidySpace policies rely heavily on area host intervention, so it also allows them to recruit helpers as necessary.

The individual responsible for the material should be notified immediately of the date of issue so they can honor the term of the permit.

====What’s on the form====

The tag includes a brief description of the material covered, the maximum square footage taken up by the material, the name and contact information of the individual responsible for the material, the date the permit expires and the name and signature of the issuer.

===Parking Ticket===

====What it is====

[https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwU2oAAQz50zRjJ5MkFfLU5oZXc/edit This red tag] should be placed on any item, project or materials found in the space without an owner or any indication how long it will be there or who owns it, or if the material is obstructing a walkway, common work areas or work surfaces, or is otherwise stored in a manner that is dangerous to the material or individuals passing by.

The tag includes space for a brief description of the material in question, instructions for the owner of the item, the name of the individual issuing the ticket, and the date of issue.

====What happens to ticketed items====

The ticket can be struck by the issue of a valid parking permit, or in the case of space property, proper labeling and storage. Ticketed material may be moved out of the way or placed in a Wut Zone, but must not be moved to Limbo until the 72 hours after the ticket is issued. The issuer, and/or area host, accepts the obligation to make a good-faith effort to contact the person responsible for the material (if known) to let them know their material should be retrieved or marked with a valid parking permit.

===Parking Request===

====What it is====

[https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwU2oAAQz50zVHlsTnIxcFAySUU/edit This yellow tag] should be placed on any item or group of items that looks like it might be in need of either a parking permit or parking ticket. These exist so that any member can flag items needing permits/tickets and bring them to the attention of area hosts. A web form will be created for notifying area hosts of parking requests.

====Who can issue====

Requests can be issued by any member.

====What’s on the form====

The tag includes space for a brief description of the material in question, check boxes to indicate the nature of the request (ticket or permit), the name of the individual issuing the request, and the date of issue.

===Limbo===

====What it is====

Limbo is a clearly marked and well lit set of shelves dedicated to almost-trash. Everything brought into limbo is marked with a date. Date marking apparatus is attached to the shelf. Anyone may remove anything from Limbo at any time. Area hosts will periodically clear out the oldest items.

====What can be put in Limbo and who can put it there?====

*Area hosts: Items with valid parking tickets issued more than 2 weeks in the past
*Area hosts: Items that have been in the lost and found for more than a month
*All members: Items you own

====Limbo rules:====

*Do not bring items to PS:One specifically to put in Limbo. [note: we need a space for incoming donations and a digital form for offering donations]
*Items in the Limbo MUST be dated so that old items can be cleaned out
*If an item is of a known level of brokenness, label as such
*Items must fit on the shelves. You can make room by (re)moving or disassembling other items
*Anyone may remove anything from Limbo at any time
*If you take something out of Limbo for personal use, it must be stored properly

===Wut Zones===

====What what they are====

Each hosted area has a Wut Zone, a marked space designated for items in need of a home. The area hosts will sort through these areas as often as they’re able, but other members can also help.

====What to put in a Wut Zone====

*Things that probably belong somewhere nearby (have a look around first)
*Things that aren’t obviously useful, but aren’t obviously trash
*Things that bear no indication of where they belong

====What happens to things in Wut Zones====

Things found in Wut Zones will be sorted by anyone. If you encounter a populated Wut Zone, do this:
*Put the item where it belongs (if you definitely know where it goes)
*Designate a new home with a labeled bin, shelf, pegboard outline, or similar (let the area host know, chances are they’ll appreciate it)
*Take item to lost and found

*Only area hosts are allowed to
*Issue parking tickets
*Throw items away
*Take items to Limbo

===Lost and Found===

Small personal items (cell phones, wallets, multitools, hats, etc.) should be placed in the Lost and Found.

*Label found items with date and location found
*Items must remain in Lost and Found for a minimum of one month before they are moved to Limbo
*Try to inform the owner
*Communicate privately if possible
*Post to the list when the owner is unknown
*Include "[found]" in the subject line

==Amendment June 20, 2013 (changes to existing sections)==

===Parking Requests===

Requests for a parking ticket may be removed by the owner of the items if the items are moved into personal storage or removed from the space.

===Parking Permits===
Items with a properly issued parking permit must <del>be kept in a container or on a shelf</del> not be left on a Worktable or in a Walkway

===Parking Tickets===
Clarification: This section previously had inconsistent number regarding the amount of time a ticketed item may stand before being moved to Limbo. The default time frame is 72 hours.

If the owner is legitimately unavailable to take care of their materials within the 72 hours, the issuer and/or area host may make arrangements with the owner at their discretion.

===Limbo===
If an item is too big to fit in Limbo, it is subject to disassembly or ejection from the space. In this case, if the owner is known, they shall be given two weeks to arrange for removal of the item from the space.

==Amendment June 20, 2013 (new sections)==

===What is TidySpace?===

The TidySpace policy is designed to make the “space” in “hackerspace” easier for everyone to use. It introduces a visual system of marking and tagging to indicate when something is out of place, and gives people tools to help keep things orderly. It relies on participation from every member, but is administered by area hosts and officers. It is, of course, to be executed alongside the Pumping Station: One Membership Agreement and the overarching rule: “be excellent to each other.”

===Area Hosts===
Because the TidySpace policy relies heavily on area host intervention, it also requires that areas be visually well-defined, that area hosts are easy to contact, and that they’re able to recruit help and delegate administrative tasks as necessary.

Every square foot in the space falls under the purview of an area host. In each area, the following information should be clearly visible:
*name of the area
*name and contact information the area host

Area hosts may, at their discretion, recruit other members to help them manage parking requests, parking permits, parking tickets, Worktables, Walkways, and Wut Zones. Area helpers agree to communicate all administrative activities to the area hosts. Area hosts may revoke administrative permissions at any time, but should avoid this by selecting their helpers carefully.

===Worktables===

A Worktable is a surface to be used only for projects being worked on right now. Area hosts designate Worktables in their area at their discretion. Worktables are marked either with spray paint (using a stencil like this one) or with other markings devised by the area host. Worktables must never be used to store projects not being worked on right now.

===Walkways===

Walkways are specially marked areas which are kept free of obstructions so that individuals may pass through them unhindered. Area hosts designate walkways in their area at their discretion. Adherence to ADA width requirements* is strongly encouraged where possible.

Designating “walkways” is an excellent way for area hosts to keep floorspace clear and are recommended for areas around stationary tools, shelves, and anywhere else where obstructions are unacceptable.

Although some large projects may inevitably encroach on a walkway while they’re being worked on, this should be kept to an absolute minimum. Materials should never be left in a walkway.

===Standing Projects===

If you need to leave a project for a short time (less than 24 hours), you are expected to put a note on your project. If other members encounter your project while you're out, the note will communicate to other members how long the project has been there, how soon they can its owner will be back to take care of it, and how to contact its owner in case it needs to be moved. “Standing Project” forms will be available but other media may be used.

Standing projects should be tagged by their owner with the following
*name & contact information
*date & time the items are being left
*justification (examples: "wet paint", "home depot run", "dinner")
*when you intend to retrieve the items

Make sure your tag is visible, legible, and securely attached to your items. As a courtesy to others, and for the protection of your project, do not leave projects on a Worktable, in a Walkway, or anywhere it will be in other people's way. Projects left in people's way may be respectfully moved.

Standing projects with notes over 24 hours old are automatically subject to ticketing. Projects with notes past their stated time of retrieval are also subject to ticketing.

===Moving Other People’s Projects===

If you encounter what appears to be an abandoned project in a Walkway, Worktable or any place where it obstructs your activities, take a moment to assess the situation. The project’s owner might be somewhere in the building or outside. Try to find them. If they’ve left the building there should be a note nearby. After looking for a note and verifying that the person is not at the space, proceed while keeping the following in mind:

*Respecting other people's property is, of course, part of Being Excellent.
*If possible, carefully place the items in a container so that they don’t get scattered.
*Put the project somewhere nearby, such as the nearest Wut Zone.
*If items are drying, painstakingly arranged, or susceptible to damage from gentle touching, avoid moving them. If the owner is known, communicate with them.

You might feel frustrated when other people's projects are left in your way. That's understandable. But remember the rules. Be respectful and non-confrontational. Keep in mind that nobody's perfect, and that lapses in policy cannot be blamed solely on one individual. Use the opportunity to improve the space’s operation through communication.
