CURRENT UPDATES&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lo9PNANkkx4Dl1Sy7DjJ_oA8nAStV7FFLykrrypabKM/edit?usp=sharing * CLICK TO VIEW CURRENT STATUS OF ALL LASER SYSTEMS] *&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OLD NEWS&lt;br /&gt;
* 6/27/2019 Universal was repaired by Scientific Spectrum Midwest to full functionality. Need to fix air supply before the  Universal is put back into service. See required parts needed [[Media:Air_Assist_Parts_Assembly.doc]] See [[Media:2_Table_Calibration_Platform_Lasers.pdf]] and [[Media:5_Cleaning_and_Maintenance.pdf]] for maintenance. If you need to get familiar with the universal, please checkout out [[Media:6_Keep_these_thoughts_in_mind_when_creating_a_drawing.pdf]] and [[Media:7_Laser_procedure.pdf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 5/19/2019 Universal laser is not working. Ask the Area Host at lasers@pumpingstationone.org for more information. &lt;br /&gt;
* 04/1/2019 Back Up And running, Check Google Group for more details&lt;br /&gt;
* 02/18/2019 Out of Service: Assembly out for repair; no ETA on repairs; check Google Group for more details and updates.&lt;br /&gt;
* 12/20/2018 Universal 15OW is running on the top tube only (so, effectively 75W), and even so is cutting weakly. &lt;br /&gt;
* (12/2/2017) Hooked up to ex-Epilog air and exhaust connection. The air assist works but does leak using the quick connect fitting, the other fitting requires a 1/2&amp;quot; (I think) screw fitting which will create a better seal. The x-axis is off by ~3/8&amp;quot;, y is off too but didn&#039;t measure.&lt;br /&gt;
Current status: connected to exhaust and compressed air using the ones designed for the Epilog while the Epilog is out of service. Figuring out authorizations. If you want to be part of that, get in touch with CNC Area Host or folks on the Danger Committee.&lt;br /&gt;
* (2017/05/20) Wiki page created&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Authorization: How to Get Authorized ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization for the laser is not virtual, meaning you must complete this [https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org/courses/17 Canvas Course] and &#039;&#039;&#039;then&#039;&#039;&#039; fill out this [https://forms.gle/4xYHJPeSXi4qt5738 Sign Up Form]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The laser volunteers will be notified automatically after the form is submitted.  You will then be notified when the next authorization is scheduled. (approx. every 2 weeks at the authorizers discretion)  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If no authorizations are scheduled in the next 30 days, then post  to #lasers slack channel; look for a recent thread about laser authorizations and post there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please review the wiki and the reference materials before attending an authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have other questions after the reviewing the wiki, Please reach out on #lasers slack channel, respond to a recent authorization thread, and if you still need help then try a direct message to the authorizers at laser-auths@pumpingstationone.org .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The laser cutter is easily one of the most used machines at PS1. Due to this demand we request the cooperation of all members to share the laser cutter and associated computer. First and foremost, the practice &amp;quot;being excellent&amp;quot; should be observed at all times; respect yourself, other members, and the equipment. This is a usage policy so that everyone can use the laser:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Any user not actively test cutting or cutting will cede the computer and laser to the next person waiting in line, as soon as that waiting user notifies the current computer user. If you are still designing your file, please do so on another computer. Artastic (another PC upstairs) in the Crafts Area also has a copy of Adobe Illustrator.&lt;br /&gt;
* If someone is waiting in line to use the laser, no active test cut or cut series shall be longer than 1 hour. No jobs will be allowed to start that overrun the 1 hour time limit when a new user is waiting.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the case that your last cut is longer than the 1 hour time limit, and a waiting user presents themselves after the cut has started, the cut job shall be allowed to finish and the waiting user will be allowed to set up their file in their own user account, during the cutting period.&lt;br /&gt;
* Continuous cutting shall not exceed 3 consecutive hours without a half hour break for the laser to cool. If a new user arrives before or during the cooling period the current user shall cede the laser to the next user, and the next user will wait for the cooling period to finish and the cooling period shall not count towards the 1 hours limit should another user present themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
* Waiting users shall notify the current user verbally that they are waiting and where they will be waiting until it is their turn. If multiple users are waiting, the next waiting user must start their test cutting or cut job within 10 minutes of being notified of a laser opening. The current user will keep a record of who is waiting, where they will be, and notify subsequent users of the status of the queue. The current user will find the next waiting user and verbally inform them that the laser is available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Additional Ways to be Excellent ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Have your artwork and your materials prepared and ready ahead of time. Artastic (another PC upstairs) in the Crafts Area has a copy of Adobe Illustrator. &lt;br /&gt;
* Allow people to start setting up their job after your last cut starts running. If you&#039;re concerned about a last minute adjustment, you can use Window&#039;s switch user feature to keep your file available.&lt;br /&gt;
* If there is someone waiting, get their phone number to text them, if possible. Texting allows you to give them a heads up so they can start setting up their job without you leaving the laser are.  (Leaving the laser running unattended is against the rules.) It also spares you from having to physically track down the other user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Table Saw Note! ===&lt;br /&gt;
Items that have been cut on the laser cutter have the potential to set off the SawStop table saw safety brake. This will make the saw unusable until the SawStop cartridge is replaced, which costs ~ $75!  It typically happens if there is an excess of carbon char on the edges. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before use the SawStop to cut anything from the laser cutter please test the piece on the edge of the blade when the blade is not turning and see if it activates a red light on the display. How do you do this.&lt;br /&gt;
# Turn on the main power switch to the Sawstop.&lt;br /&gt;
# DO NOT TURN ON THE BLADE.  THE BLADE must not be moving.&lt;br /&gt;
# Check and see if the green light is on the front of the saw.&lt;br /&gt;
# Slide the piece you want to cut up to and contact the blade. &lt;br /&gt;
# Look at the lights on the front of the SawStop. If it is green you should be OK to proceed. If its red. DO NOT CUT. IT WILL TRIGGER THE BRAKE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can try to sand off the char and repeat steps 1-5 or use another method to cut these pieces.&lt;br /&gt;

== About ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Universal Laser Systems PLS6.150D is a free-standing platform with a materials processing envelope of 32&amp;quot; x 18&amp;quot; x 9&amp;quot; or 5,184 in³ (813 x 457 x 229 mm or 84,950 cm³) that supports dual lasers. As a dual laser platform, the PLS6.150 can support up to two 10.6µ CO2 lasers with a power range of 10 watts to 150 watts. Additionally, it can support a single 9.3µ CO2 of 30, 50 or 75 watts. (if a 9.3u CO2 laser is installed, only one 10.6 CO2 of up to 75 watts may be installed at the same time.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This one has two 75Wlasers totaling 150W of power. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The unit was donated from SAIC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Machine Dimensions are 45&amp;quot; x 35&amp;quot; x 40&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Procedures ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Setting Up Your Computer===&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://drive.google.com/a/pumpingstationone.org/file/d/1GjEZzCSGFAl5Zumf7hG24kqdu1ZAlszw/view?usp=sharing Download the Adobe Illustrator CC Template to your profile]&lt;br /&gt;
TIPS:&lt;br /&gt;
* Black is always set as a raster. For all other colors, the stroke weight must be 0.1pts or less to be recognized as a vector.&lt;br /&gt;
* White is one of the colors in the template, but acts as a mask unless you tell it otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
* Click &amp;quot;Apply&amp;quot; every time you do anything in the print settings, or it won&#039;t save.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Air assist=== &lt;br /&gt;
* Turn on the air assist by flipping the switch dangling from the board behind the laser.&lt;br /&gt;
* Air assist is used for vector cutting to have nice traces and avoid your material to burn. However some people like to have it disabled for raster jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
* Turn air assist off when you&#039;ve finished and you don&#039;t need it while doing your settings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Water Trap ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Check the WATER TRAP adjacent to the regulator for accumulated water from time to time. Place a container (and maybe some paper towels) under the regulator and vent accumulated water from the bottom using the small petcock. If too much water accumulates in the regulator, it may flow through the air hose and into the machine, spraying onto the bed/material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exhaust ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Turn on the Exhaust Fan by pressing the Green Button on the Pillar opposite the 3D printers.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is always good practice to open the Make-up Air Window to allow fresh air to circulate while running a job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Powering On Machine ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Turn on the Power Switch and let the machine complete the entire boot up cycle, approximately 1-2 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Running your job ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the printer driver and Universal Control Panel (UCP) to send data to the laser. &lt;br /&gt;
* The printer driver is discussed from page 39-57 of the manual, and on page 58-62, the UCP is explained.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[:File:Universal_PLS6.150D_user_guide.pdf]]&lt;br /&gt;
* ALLOW AT LEAST 30 SECONDS TO ELAPSE BEFORE LIFTING THE LID AFTER A JOB.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Powering Off Machine ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Allow the Exhaust &amp;amp; Air Assist to run for approximately 10-15 min. after completing a job. (DO NOT CYCLE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM RAPIDLY).&lt;br /&gt;
* Turn off the Exhaust &amp;amp; Air Assist FIRST&lt;br /&gt;
* Power down the machine&lt;br /&gt;
* Clean up you materials, throw away scrap, make sure the focusing tool is replaced&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Using Inkscape ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inkscape has already been set up for use with the laser on this computer. You can find a template [https://mywikis-wiki-media.s3.us-central-1.wasabisys.com/ps1/Universal_Template_Inkscape.svg here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of writing this, it seems you cannot print vectors and rasters simultaneously (subject to change). However, there is an easy workaround:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Examplefile.png|thumb|An example of a file with vector and raster elements|none]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To engrave the raster elements, simply print:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery mode=&amp;quot;packed&amp;quot; widths=&amp;quot;240&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
File:HidePath.png|First, hide the vector elements (otherwise they will be interpreted as raster elements)&lt;br /&gt;
File:PrintRaster1.png|Next, click Print&lt;br /&gt;
File:PrintRaster2.png|Finally, make sure the PLS6.150D printer is selected and click Print again&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To engrave the vector elements, do a &amp;quot;Win32 Vector Print&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery mode=&amp;quot;packed&amp;quot; widths=&amp;quot;240&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
File:PrintVector.png|Hiding the raster elements is option (they will be ignored). Click &amp;quot;Win32 Vector Print&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In both scenarios, the files should show up in laser control panel. Happy printing!&lt;br /&gt;
==Laser Materials==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Acrylic and wood are safe materials to cut on the laser.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many materials are unsafe, see [https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Laser_Materials https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Laser_Materials] for a list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NEVER CUT FOAM - IT IS THE #1 CAUSE OF DAMAGING LASER CUTTERS.&#039;&#039;&#039; Even if it seems safe, the foam WILL catch fire and damage the equipment before you can stop it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A starting point for settings using the laser is here - [https://sites.saic.edu/aoc/laser-cutting/lasermaterials/ Materials Settings Reference]&lt;br /&gt;
== Maintenance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please note that ONLY authorized maintainers are allowed to perform regular maintenance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Maintenance Files== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Do Not Throw Way Old Lens or Mirror Frames for the Universal.&#039;&#039;&#039; They can be repurposed with 3rd Party lens/mirrors for 1/5 the cost and the same performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Replacement mirrors for the universal are very expensive because they semi-circular. However, they are simply a 25mm radius mirror that can be grounded down. The files for 3D printing the guides are here[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d0jqYUwdTXVxafVrquHKa0RhF3BgHpDw?usp=sharing}]. Protect the mirrored surface when grinding, then super glue the new mirror to available mounting frames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Bugs/Quirks==  &lt;br /&gt;
*UCP stopped showing previews for and cutting color layers that were marked as &amp;quot;VECT&amp;quot; despite having the correct colors and line weights. This issue was tested with Adobe Illustrator and Acrobat. Files that had been previously created and were in the file cache still worked. Try some of these fixed:&lt;br /&gt;
**Select a material from the Materials Database tab when in the advanced print dialog (&amp;quot;more settings&amp;quot;) and printing the project with those settings first - &amp;quot;VECT&amp;quot; worked. From there you can go back into the print dialog and start selecting your own layers to output as &amp;quot;VECT&amp;quot;. You can also save a profile from the database and then load and edit it later.&lt;br /&gt;
**Change the raster image density to a higher number - as an example a quality of 3 prevents a vector path of .01pt from printing but a quality of 4 has no issues.&lt;br /&gt;
**Set up your file and export a vector file and raster file separately - remember to duplicate the x/y positions for each file.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;section begin=&amp;quot;authmantra&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Dnh.png|alt=|center|500x500px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Any tool more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use&#039;&#039;&#039;, these are marked with a sticker like the one above. Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why &#039;&#039;&#039;authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool&#039;&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Be cool, get authed&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;section end=&amp;quot;authmantra&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations and basic requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for those pieces of equipment&#039;&#039;&#039; populated from the central list of [[Authorizations]]. All tools should have an [[Equipment_Label_Example|Equipment Label]] on it regardless of authorization status, but especially those that have authorization requirements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Authorizations]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;You are responsible for becoming properly authorized for any tool based on the authorization requirements.&#039;&#039;&#039; Much of the complex or dangerous equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the equipment label on the piece of equipment to see if it requires authorization or not. The equipment label is a direct link to a wiki page that explains about the tool and will have a section for &amp;quot;How to Get Authorized&amp;quot;. If insufficient information is available on the wiki page you can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or through the relevant discord channel, or see [[How_Do_I_Get_Authorized%3F#Broken_Authorizations|Broken Authorizations]] to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations are recorded as part of your member account by the relevant authorizer. Computer-controlled tools (e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] ) require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order for your membership login to enable access to the computer. Most tool authorizations operate on the honor system. Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment may result in the loss of equipment access or require retraining. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. Mastery of any process is also your responsibility: ask questions in relevant Discord channels, use online sources, take classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or ask a knowledgeable member. Share your knowledge and help keep the wiki updated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Visit the [[Authorizations]] page to get a comprehensive list of the current authorizations available at PS1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Viral Authorizations===&lt;br /&gt;
Some authorization may be considered &amp;quot;viral authorizations&amp;quot;, as determined by an area host, and only if explicitly stated on the equipment&#039;s wiki page. For Viral Authorizations you only need to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also [[:Category:Equipment|Equipment Page]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some Authorizations are viral, as in anyone who is already authorized can teach you how to use a tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Requesting Authorization==&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the instructions in on the equipment page for a tool or authorizations page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Previous Experience==&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what your personal background is or what skill level you&#039;ve got; we want to ensure that everyone has all the information to operate these particular tools and equipment safely in this particular space. Substantial portions of an authorization may be tool- or site-specific or peculiar to PS:1. You can always prepare for an authorization by studying manuals, watching tutorials or asking others for help, but you should be prepared to sit through a full authorization session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Broken Authorizations==&lt;br /&gt;
A list of [[:Category:Broken Authorization| substandard authorization process documentation]] that currently require improvement or additional information. If you find a page that needs work please add this category tag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note for tool maintainers and wiki maintainers: it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place - don&#039;t double-post when you can link.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wiki Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is likely a sticker or label with a QR code; scan the code with your mobile device or type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. It&#039;s possible that the label might be missing but there still may be a wiki page for the tool or equipment. If you can&#039;t find the label, search the wiki with the name or make and model of the equipment; try to find the wiki page for the equipment. Help maintain the consistency of the wiki and tools by creating labels or letting volunteers know that labels are missing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example Label ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth1.jpg |200px|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;

The label indicates that it requires authorization. On the Wiki, you&#039;ll see following information on the right side of the page. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth2.jpg |200px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The page for the tool or equipment may have a paragraph or section about how to get authorized for that particular thing. Requirements vary from thing to thing; check the wiki page first and it&#039;s likely to be explained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/ PS:1 events calendar], the Events panel in Discord, or [https://www.meetup.com/Pumping-Station-One/ Meetup.com] to see if an area has regularly scheduled authorizations. If there is nothing scheduled, you may contact the Volunteer Authorizer for that area, the Area Host for that area, or the contact person listed on the tool&#039;s wiki page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system, hosted locally at [https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org]. It is generally a prerequisite for access to in-person authorization sessions. Use the courses to refresh your memory on various equipment processes when you first start using the tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Canvas will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time. For simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The Wiki Maintenance Group is an ad hoc group of members that work together to improve the wiki in a variety of ways, generate some standard procedures, and help ensure the quality of PS:One&#039;s wiki. We hope that the Wiki will be something that members will find useful in their time at PS:One, a historical record and source of truth for the organization, and be generally useful for the broader online Hacker/Maker community. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
*Introduce new members to the process of editing the wiki&lt;br /&gt;
**create [[Template:EquipmentPage|equipment labels and wiki pages]]&lt;br /&gt;
**add authorization details&lt;br /&gt;
**navigation principles&lt;br /&gt;
**basic syntax&lt;br /&gt;
*Have a monthly meeting to edit the wiki&lt;br /&gt;
**Wine Wiki Wednesdays (borrowed from [https://www.i3detroit.org/wiki/Wiki_Wine_Workshop i3 Detroit])&lt;br /&gt;
**connect with other members directly on Discord #wiki-love&lt;br /&gt;
*Update equipment pages&lt;br /&gt;
**Aid areas, hosts, and volunteers report status, best practices, etc&lt;br /&gt;
*Account for all areas and volunteers - names, contact methods, handles&lt;br /&gt;
**should use user pages in the wiki?&lt;br /&gt;
*Help inventory all the equipment&lt;br /&gt;
**Get master equipment list from each area host&lt;br /&gt;
*Category and template creation&lt;br /&gt;
*Document and describe the organization structure - [https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/10im8sXQ0jGZtr_cJzWHMRsNIsdyGFJkdXJuixoSQEzc/edit?usp=sharing Diagram]&lt;br /&gt;
**Create an overarching plan/structure of wiki information&lt;br /&gt;
**History of PS:One&lt;br /&gt;
**Board, Officer, Committee, Area Host Procedures&lt;br /&gt;
**New Member Onboarding&lt;br /&gt;
*Introduce members to [[Special:SpecialPages]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Networking Staging Page [[Networking Reorg Staging Page]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==General Guidelines and Etiquette==&lt;br /&gt;
Consider reading [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simplified_ruleset&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt; Wikipedia&#039;s Simplified Ruleset]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===add tags to pages that need updating===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{NeedsUpdate|your reasons for deletion go here}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[:Category:Pages with broken file links|Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== note that a piece of equipment has been removed ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* edit the source&lt;br /&gt;
* in the &amp;quot;where:&amp;quot; type &amp;quot;Removed&amp;quot; (no quotations, capitalization matters)&lt;br /&gt;
* you should see a banner at the top of the page that says the equipment is removed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===finding candidates for deletion===&lt;br /&gt;
Candidates for deletion are pages that haven&#039;t been updated in a long time, are incomplete, abandoned. A question you may ask yourself: is the deletion improving clarity or wiki structure? &lt;br /&gt;
* Some equipment pages may be candidates for deletion, but if there is valuable information in them consider making them historical pages.&lt;br /&gt;
* If there is some information that would be useful or historical in a page consider moving that content to a more appropriate page or making the page historical.&lt;br /&gt;
* Do not delete pages in user namespaces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===linking orphans===&lt;br /&gt;
===add redirects===&lt;br /&gt;
* create redirects to single tool pages based on terms you would search to find that tool.&lt;br /&gt;
** If there is more than one tool redirect to a disambiguation page or a subsection that lists all those tools.&lt;br /&gt;
To add a redirect to an existing page (not another redirect) create a new page and add the following text&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;#REDIRECT [[the page you&#039;d like to redirect to]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===change incorrect redirects===&lt;br /&gt;
* all redirects should go to a specific page. If a redirect is relevant to another page or equipment make sure that is redirects there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===deleting redirects===&lt;br /&gt;
*do no delete redirects in user namespaces&lt;br /&gt;
*don&#039;t delete redirects unless the following are all true:&lt;br /&gt;
**the redirect goes to another redirect or creates a loop or leads to a page or redirect that doesn&#039;t exist&lt;br /&gt;
**and there are no pages linking to that redirect&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===locking pages===&lt;br /&gt;
===undeleting pages===&lt;br /&gt;
===commenting edits===&lt;br /&gt;
* when edits are made you should can use the signature button (second button to the right in the edit)--[[User:Rtystgeeke|Rtystgeeke]] ([[User talk:Rtystgeeke|talk]]) 16:54, 19 November 2016 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
* you can also type &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;~~~~&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; characters together to insert a timestamped signature when typing [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 14:40, 3 December 2016 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===creating your own user page===&lt;br /&gt;
*Log into the wiki&lt;br /&gt;
*Typing wiki.pumpingstationone.org/user:your_user_name into your browser&lt;br /&gt;
*Click the create button in the upper right corner&lt;br /&gt;
*Edit your page with your info, tools you know, things you want to learn, and any applicable categories&lt;br /&gt;
*Users who are interested in wiki maintenance can edit their user page and add this text to their User page: &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:WikiGnomes]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*If you want to be fancy you can create a redirect by making a new page (with your name or nickname) as the page title and then type REDIRECT#[[User:(your user name)]]&lt;br /&gt;

**any way to make area show a list of active machines only?&lt;br /&gt;
*Fix links that point internally but use external links (/wiki/ problem with bad links)&lt;br /&gt;
*develop strategy for determining orphan pages, and linking them. Lots of pages are categorized but not linked (any way to differentiate?)&lt;br /&gt;
*come up with specific search queries for targeted actions&lt;br /&gt;
*de-duplicating information: create a banner, roll duplicated information into less pages&lt;br /&gt;
*orphaned pages should exclude pages that are linked via categories&lt;br /&gt;
*figure out if [[Special:Wantedcategories]] that do not have category: pages should be removed from the linking pages or created&lt;br /&gt;
*fix [[:Category:EquipmentPageErrorNoAreahost]] so that all equipment belongs to an area host or member&lt;br /&gt;
*add [[:Category:Retired_Equipment]] Equipment to equipment that has wiki pages but is deprecated for some reason&lt;br /&gt;
**I&#039;d like to create a new template very similar to the candidates marked for deletion that has a reason or link to a new machine&lt;br /&gt;
*add [[:Template:NeedsUpdate]] to pages with old, incorrect, or missing information&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ideas for improvement==&lt;br /&gt;
*email digest to google groups/area host a list of broken tools automatically based on broken tool list&lt;br /&gt;
*correlate member pages to list of current members, tag their user page as such&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wiki Overhaul==&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Carlfk/meeting_notes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Rename wiki to not have a colon in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{SITENAME}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{NeedsUpdate|This page needs a good once over for accuracy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current areas have broken authorization paths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Things that can get a tool listed as having a broken certification path:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Not regularly scheduled Certifications&lt;br /&gt;
* Waiting for a mailing list post&lt;br /&gt;
* requiring a specific member, or overly small group of members to use a machine.&lt;br /&gt;
* Requiring knowledge of PS:One&#039;s internal strucure&lt;br /&gt;
* Requiring knowldege of specific member&#039;s of PS:One, or requiring contacting members that do not have publicly available contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Certification paths that have frequent complaints of not being able to get certified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== On The Bridgeport Mill ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are currently no regularly scheduled authorizations happening the on manual Bridgeport, but Cold Metals Volunteer Authorizers can field a request.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I&#039;ve seen folks doing authorizations with some frequency. They aren&#039;t scheduled, but it doesn&#039;t seem inaccessible.&#039;&#039;--[[User:Dbever|Dbever]] ([[User talk:Dbever|talk]]) 08:29, 22 June 2015 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This currently requires Tier 1 Authorization. https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Tier_1_Cold_Metals_Authorization&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== On Metal Shop Basic Tools (Tier 1) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following tools fall under Tier 1 Authorization: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Central Machinery Metal Bandsaw]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[DoAll Drill Press]], [[Bench Grinder (6in)]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Belt Sander]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Johnson Bandsaw]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tier 1 Cold Metals Authorization|Who&#039;s Tier 1 Certified, who can certify me?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tier 1 Authorization does not have a regular schedule, and substantial amounts of time pass between schedules.&lt;br /&gt;

== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This vacuum forming machine has been donated by SAIC and is currently installed in Hot Metals area. A Danger Committee was formed and the machine is ready for member use pending authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to Get Authorized ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Authorization for this machine is on demand and [[Viral_Authorizations|viral]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Please make a request on Slack to see when an Authorized member is available and coordinate an authorization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please review the information on this page, in particular the Safety section before meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please bring your own materials, as there is no guarantee there will be any available. A few sheets of thin 12in x 12in ABS/HIPS would be ideal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current Status ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This machine is working but requires maintenance and improvements (see list below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vacuum Forming Process ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vacuum Forming&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a type of &#039;&#039;&#039;Thermoforming&#039;&#039;&#039;,which is the process of heating a plastic sheet and stretching it over a mold. As the plastic cools, it hardens, permanently retaining that shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This device can handle any thermoformable plastic up to 3/8&amp;quot; thick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on which platen/frame that is used, the machine can accept 3 sizes of plastic sheets. 12inx12in, 24inx24in and 24inx48in. The usable area in those sheets after being secured in the frames being 9.25inx9.25in, 21inx21in, or 21.5inx45.5in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;buck,&amp;quot; mould or form, may be any sturdy shape that can tolerate a bit of heat. Wood, MDF, metal, and polyester resin work well. &lt;br /&gt;
Avoid shapes with hollows underneath because they have a tendency to collapse. Shapes with undercuts, or shapes taller than they are wide, will be very difficult to remove from the formed plastic. Paint, shellac, or epoxy resin can cause the hot plastic to stick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The oven must be used only for vacuum forming. Please do not attempt to use this machine to dry materials or anything other than its intended purpose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* 3D Printer Auth&lt;br /&gt;
** to create mold to cast plaster buck&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Usage Steps===&lt;br /&gt;
The process consists essentially of inserting a thermoplastic sheet in a cold state into the clamp area, heating it to the desired temperature with the heating elements, and then raising the buck/form/mould from below. The trapped air is evacuated with the assistance of a vacuum system. Once cooled, the platform is lowered to release the formed plastic part from the buck/form/mould.&lt;br /&gt;

# Secure Buck/Form/Mould to Vacuum table. If it is heavy enough and does not stick, it may not need to be secured.&lt;br /&gt;
Note: it is recommended to have the mold be a bit taller than desired part, to allow space for cut separation.&lt;br /&gt;
# Check seals around material and mold. &lt;br /&gt;
Note: If material is not thick enough, it may slip out of the frame.&lt;br /&gt;
# Raise part way to make certain mold lines up with frame.&lt;br /&gt;
Note: It is a 3 position pneumatic valve. Up position raises platform. Center position, holds platform at current position. Down position, lowers platform.&lt;br /&gt;

 &#039;&#039;&#039;Cleanup Procedure&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Cleanup any unused material or scrap.&lt;br /&gt;
# Throw away failed part pulls in dumpster. &#039;&#039;&#039;Do not leave in Hot Metals area.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Safety==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Vacuum Former has an oven surface for heating and softening the plastic. It is made of multiple panels (total 6) infrared radiant heating elements, draws a total 80,000 watts (top and bottom), and reaches full operating temperature depending on Active heating time set on the timer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most likely source of problems would be for someone to leave the plastic under the heater for way too long and set it on fire. To help avoid this error, we are only using the center top panel for heating. &#039;&#039;&#039;Warning:&#039;&#039;&#039; Ignoring safety protocol is cause for revoking authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fumes from most plastics are not expected to be significant when the machine is used properly (&#039;&#039;i.e.,&#039;&#039; nothing is on fire). If fumes do turn out to be a concern, the machine can be retrofitted with a fume hood. Then connected to the existing exhaust duct for the Forge. To improve air quality, turn on the forge exhaust and open the front door by the plasma cutter computer.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tips &amp;amp; tricks ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Creating an appropriate Buck/Mold ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Part should have a flat base&lt;br /&gt;
* No overhangs&lt;br /&gt;
* Pay attention to draft angles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Trimming Part ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on the thickness of the material, a band saw or box cuter can be used to trim excess flashing from the final part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Troubleshooting ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long does it take to heat the plastic sheet?&lt;br /&gt;
* This depends on which material and thickness is specified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How do I know when the plastic is ready to form?&lt;br /&gt;
* Generally speaking it is necessary with any new material to establish the correct heating cycle. Plastic is ready to form when it becomes soft and pliable especially nearer to the clamping frame. This is known as glass transition temperature (Tg). Once you have established the time you can set the heater timer for accurate and repeated heating cycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why is the plastic webbing on the mold?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material is too hot.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;
* Excess of material. Use reducing windows.&lt;br /&gt;
* Poor mold design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why can&#039;t I achieve good definition on the finished part?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material too cold&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold too cold.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum holes in the mold&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Is the plastic thinning over the mold when formed?&lt;br /&gt;
* Sheet cooled whilst forming.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold design with insufficient draft angles.&lt;br /&gt;
* Too thin plastic gauge.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pre-stretch required.&lt;br /&gt;
* Plug assist required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why does the plastic bubble and pit when heated?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material is Hygroscopic which needs to be pre-dried prior to forming.&lt;br /&gt;
* Overheating.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold or plastic sheet too dusty&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why does the plastic stick to the mould when I try to release?&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold not fixed on baseboard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient draft.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold undercuts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Maintenance and Repairs ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Get Running - &#039;&#039;DONE&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Add equipment sticker to machine for wiki info&lt;br /&gt;
* Fix platen/frame rubber seals&lt;br /&gt;
* Build basic test mold for demos and training. (PS1 Logo or Mask)&lt;br /&gt;
* Move vacuum gauge to before the valve, to measures the vacuum the pump is pulling (right now it&#039;s after the valve, so doesn&#039;t read anything useful)&lt;br /&gt;
* Install Additional/Larger Vacuum Tank to the system for more capacity&lt;br /&gt;
* More powerful Vacuum Pump&lt;br /&gt;
* Temperature Monitoring&lt;br /&gt;
* Mount Control Panel Box to machine &#039;&#039;DONE&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Put on locking casters, or more permanent blocks/skid (machine is very heavy)&lt;br /&gt;
* make the platen stationary and the heater roll (complicated)&lt;br /&gt;
* Reduce the footprint of the machine (complicated)&lt;br /&gt;

== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This vacuum forming machine has been donated by SAIC and is currently installed in Hot Metals area. A Danger Committee was formed and the machine is ready for member use pending authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to Get Authorized ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Authorization for this machine is on demand and [[Viral_Authorizations|viral]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Please make a request on Slack to see when an Authorized member is available and coordinate an authorization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please review the information on this page, in particular the Safety section before meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please bring your own materials, as there is no guarantee there will be any available. A few sheets of thin 12in x 12in ABS/HIPS would be ideal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current Status ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This machine is working but requires maintenance and improvements (see list below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vacuum Forming Process ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vacuum Forming&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a type of &#039;&#039;&#039;Thermoforming&#039;&#039;&#039;,which is the process of heating a plastic sheet and stretching it over a mold. As the plastic cools, it hardens, permanently retaining that shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This device can handle any thermoformable plastic up to 3/8&amp;quot; thick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on which platen/frame that is used, the machine can accept 3 sizes of plastic sheets. 12inx12in, 24inx24in and 24inx48in. The usable area in those sheets after being secured in the frames being 9.25inx9.25in, 21inx21in, or 21.5inx45.5in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;buck,&amp;quot; mould or form, may be any sturdy shape that can tolerate a bit of heat. Wood, MDF, metal, and polyester resin work well. &lt;br /&gt;
Avoid shapes with hollows underneath because they have a tendency to collapse. Shapes with undercuts, or shapes taller than they are wide, will be very difficult to remove from the formed plastic. Paint, shellac, or epoxy resin can cause the hot plastic to stick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The oven must be used only for vacuum forming. Please do not attempt to use this machine to dry materials or anything other than its intended purpose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Usage Steps===&lt;br /&gt;
The process consists essentially of inserting a thermoplastic sheet in a cold state into the clamp area, heating it to the desired temperature with the heating elements, and then raising the buck/form/mould from below. The trapped air is evacuated with the assistance of a vacuum system. Once cooled, the platform is lowered to release the formed plastic part from the buck/form/mould.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Note: it is recommended to have the mold be a bit taller than desired part, to allow space for cut separation.&lt;br /&gt;
# Check seals around material and mold. &lt;br /&gt;
Note: If material is not thick enough, it may slip out of the frame.&lt;br /&gt;
# Raise part way to make certain mold lines up with frame.&lt;br /&gt;
Note: It is a 3 position pneumatic valve. Up position raises platform. Center position, holds platform at current position. Down position, lowers platform.&lt;br /&gt;

 &#039;&#039;&#039;Cleanup Procedure&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Cleanup any unused material or scrap.&lt;br /&gt;
# Throw away failed part pulls in dumpster. &#039;&#039;&#039;Do not leave in Hot Metals area.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Safety==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Vacuum Former has an oven surface for heating and softening the plastic. It is made of multiple panels (total 6) infrared radiant heating elements, draws a total 80,000 watts (top and bottom), and reaches full operating temperature depending on Active heating time set on the timer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most likely source of problems would be for someone to leave the plastic under the heater for way too long and set it on fire. To help avoid this error, we are only using the center top panel for heating. &#039;&#039;&#039;Warning:&#039;&#039;&#039; Ignoring safety protocol is cause for revoking authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fumes from most plastics are not expected to be significant when the machine is used properly (&#039;&#039;i.e.,&#039;&#039; nothing is on fire). If fumes do turn out to be a concern, the machine can be retrofitted with a fume hood. Then connected to the existing exhaust duct for the Forge. To improve air quality, turn on the forge exhaust and open the front door by the plasma cutter computer.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tips &amp;amp; tricks ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Creating an appropriate Buck/Mold ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Part should have a flat base&lt;br /&gt;
* No overhangs&lt;br /&gt;
* Pay attention to draft angles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Trimming Part ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on the thickness of the material, a band saw or box cuter can be used to trim excess flashing from the final part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Troubleshooting ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long does it take to heat the plastic sheet?&lt;br /&gt;
* This depends on which material and thickness is specified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How do I know when the plastic is ready to form?&lt;br /&gt;
* Generally speaking it is necessary with any new material to establish the correct heating cycle. Plastic is ready to form when it becomes soft and pliable especially nearer to the clamping frame. This is known as glass transition temperature (Tg). Once you have established the time you can set the heater timer for accurate and repeated heating cycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why is the plastic webbing on the mold?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material is too hot.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;
* Excess of material. Use reducing windows.&lt;br /&gt;
* Poor mold design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why can&#039;t I achieve good definition on the finished part?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material too cold&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold too cold.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum holes in the mold&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Is the plastic thinning over the mold when formed?&lt;br /&gt;
* Sheet cooled whilst forming.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold design with insufficient draft angles.&lt;br /&gt;
* Too thin plastic gauge.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pre-stretch required.&lt;br /&gt;
* Plug assist required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why does the plastic bubble and pit when heated?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material is Hygroscopic which needs to be pre-dried prior to forming.&lt;br /&gt;
* Overheating.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold or plastic sheet too dusty&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why does the plastic stick to the mould when I try to release?&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold not fixed on baseboard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient draft.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold undercuts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Maintenance and Repairs ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Get Running - &#039;&#039;DONE&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Add equipment sticker to machine for wiki info&lt;br /&gt;
* Fix platen/frame rubber seals&lt;br /&gt;
* Build basic test mold for demos and training. (PS1 Logo or Mask)&lt;br /&gt;
* Move vacuum gauge to before the valve, to measures the vacuum the pump is pulling (right now it&#039;s after the valve, so doesn&#039;t read anything useful)&lt;br /&gt;
* Install Additional/Larger Vacuum Tank to the system for more capacity&lt;br /&gt;
* More powerful Vacuum Pump&lt;br /&gt;
* Temperature Monitoring&lt;br /&gt;
* Mount Control Panel Box to machine &#039;&#039;DONE&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Put on locking casters, or more permanent blocks/skid (machine is very heavy)&lt;br /&gt;
* make the platen stationary and the heater roll (complicated)&lt;br /&gt;
* Reduce the footprint of the machine (complicated)&lt;br /&gt;

== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This vacuum forming machine has been donated by SAIC and is currently installed in Hot Metals area. A Danger Committee was formed and the machine is ready for member use pending authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to Get Authorized ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Authorization for this machine is on demand and [[Viral_Authorizations|viral]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Please make a request on Slack to see when an Authorized member is available and coordinate an authorization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please review the information on this page, in particular the Safety section before meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please bring your own materials, as there is no guarantee there will be any available. A few sheets of thin 12in x 12in ABS/HIPS would be ideal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current Status ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This machine is working but requires maintenance and improvements (see list below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vacuum Forming Process ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vacuum Forming&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a type of &#039;&#039;&#039;Thermoforming&#039;&#039;&#039;,which is the process of heating a plastic sheet and stretching it over a mold. As the plastic cools, it hardens, permanently retaining that shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This device can handle any thermoformable plastic up to 3/8&amp;quot; thick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on which platen/frame that is used, the machine can accept 3 sizes of plastic sheets. 12inx12in, 24inx24in and 24inx48in. The usable area in those sheets after being secured in the frames being 9.25inx9.25in, 21inx21in, or 21.5inx45.5in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;buck,&amp;quot; mould or form, may be any sturdy shape that can tolerate a bit of heat. Wood, MDF, metal, and polyester resin work well. &lt;br /&gt;
Avoid shapes with hollows underneath because they have a tendency to collapse. Shapes with undercuts, or shapes taller than they are wide, will be very difficult to remove from the formed plastic. Paint, shellac, or epoxy resin can cause the hot plastic to stick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The oven must be used only for vacuum forming. Please do not attempt to use this machine to dry materials or anything other than its intended purpose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Usage Steps===&lt;br /&gt;
The process consists essentially of inserting a thermoplastic sheet in a cold state into the clamp area, heating it to the desired temperature with the heating elements, and then raising the buck/form/mould from below. The trapped air is evacuated with the assistance of a vacuum system. Once cooled, the platform is lowered to release the formed plastic part from the buck/form/mould.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Safety==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Vacuum Former has an oven surface for heating and softening the plastic. It is made of multiple panels (total 6) infrared radiant heating elements, draws a total 80,000 watts (top and bottom), and reaches full operating temperature depending on Active heating time set on the timer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most likely source of problems would be for someone to leave the plastic under the heater for way too long and set it on fire. To help avoid this error, we are only using the center top panel for heating. &#039;&#039;&#039;Warning:&#039;&#039;&#039; Ignoring safety protocol is cause for revoking authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fumes from most plastics are not expected to be significant when the machine is used properly (&#039;&#039;i.e.,&#039;&#039; nothing is on fire). If fumes do turn out to be a concern, the machine can be retrofitted with a fume hood. Then connected to the existing exhaust duct for the Forge. To improve air quality, turn on the forge exhaust and open the front door by the plasma cutter computer.&lt;br /&gt;

Example Materials for use with the machine below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Materials for Buck/Form===&lt;br /&gt;
These are an example of some materials that can be used for molding. The material needs to be heat resistant. It should also have a flat base for stability on the platform.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tips &amp;amp; tricks ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Creating an appropriate Buck/Mold ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Part should have a flat base&lt;br /&gt;
* No overhangs&lt;br /&gt;
* Pay attention to draft angles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Trimming Part ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on the thickness of the material, a band saw or box cuter can be used to trim excess flashing from the final part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Troubleshooting ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long does it take to heat the plastic sheet?&lt;br /&gt;
* This depends on which material and thickness is specified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How do I know when the plastic is ready to form?&lt;br /&gt;
* Generally speaking it is necessary with any new material to establish the correct heating cycle. Plastic is ready to form when it becomes soft and pliable especially nearer to the clamping frame. This is known as glass transition temperature (Tg). Once you have established the time you can set the heater timer for accurate and repeated heating cycles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why is the plastic webbing on the mold?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material is too hot.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;
* Excess of material. Use reducing windows.&lt;br /&gt;
* Poor mold design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why can&#039;t I achieve good definition on the finished part?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material too cold&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold too cold.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient vacuum holes in the mold&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Is the plastic thinning over the mold when formed?&lt;br /&gt;
* Sheet cooled whilst forming.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold design with insufficient draft angles.&lt;br /&gt;
* Too thin plastic gauge.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pre-stretch required.&lt;br /&gt;
* Plug assist required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why does the plastic bubble and pit when heated?&lt;br /&gt;
* Material is Hygroscopic which needs to be pre-dried prior to forming.&lt;br /&gt;
* Overheating.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold or plastic sheet too dusty&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why does the plastic stick to the mould when I try to release?&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold not fixed on baseboard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Insufficient draft.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mold undercuts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Maintenance and Repairs ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Get Running - &#039;&#039;DONE&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Add equipment sticker to machine for wiki info&lt;br /&gt;
* Fix platen/frame rubber seals&lt;br /&gt;
* Build basic test mold for demos and training. (PS1 Logo or Mask)&lt;br /&gt;
* Move vacuum gauge to before the valve, to measures the vacuum the pump is pulling (right now it&#039;s after the valve, so doesn&#039;t read anything useful)&lt;br /&gt;
* Install Additional/Larger Vacuum Tank to the system for more capacity&lt;br /&gt;
* More powerful Vacuum Pump&lt;br /&gt;
* Temperature Monitoring&lt;br /&gt;
* Mount Control Panel Box to machine &#039;&#039;DONE&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Put on locking casters, or more permanent blocks/skid (machine is very heavy)&lt;br /&gt;
* make the platen stationary and the heater roll (complicated)&lt;br /&gt;
* Reduce the footprint of the machine (complicated)&lt;br /&gt;

==== ShopBot ====&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the toolpath and control software. This class is unlimited capacity and generally open to the public. The software-only class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Dnh.png|alt=|center|500x500px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Any tool more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use&#039;&#039;&#039;, these are marked with a sticker like the one above. Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why &#039;&#039;&#039;authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool&#039;&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Be cool, get authed&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;section end=&amp;quot;authmantra&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations and basic requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for those pieces of equipment&#039;&#039;&#039; populated from the master list of [[Authorizations]]. All tools should have an [[Equipment_Label_Example|Equipment Label]] on it regardless of authorization status, but especially those that have authorization requirements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Authorizations]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;You are responsible for becoming properly authorized for any tool based on the authorization requirements.&#039;&#039;&#039; Much of the complex or dangerous equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the equipment label on the piece of equipment to see if it requires authorization or not. The equipment label is a direct link to a wiki page that explains about the tool and will have a section for &amp;quot;How to Get Authorized&amp;quot;. If insufficient information is available on the wiki page you can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or through the relevant discord channel, or see [[How_Do_I_Get_Authorized%3F#Broken_Authorizations|Broken Authorizations]] to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations are recorded as part of your member account by the relevant authorizer. Computer-controlled tools (e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] ) require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order for your membership login to enable access to the computer. Most tool authorizations operate on the honor system. Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment may result in the loss of equipment access or require retraining. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. Mastery of any process is also your responsibility: ask questions in relevant Discord channels, use online sources, take classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or ask a knowledgeable member. Share your knowledge and help keep the wiki updated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Visit the [[Authorizations]] page to get a comprehensive list of the current authorizations available at PS1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Viral Authorizations===&lt;br /&gt;
Some authorization may be considered &amp;quot;viral authorizations&amp;quot;, as determined by an area host, and only if explicitly stated on the equipment&#039;s wiki page. For Viral Authorizations you only need to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also [[:Category:Equipment|Equipment Page]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some Authorizations are viral, as in anyone who is already authorized can teach you how to use a tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Requesting Authorization==&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the instructions in on the equipment page for a tool or authorizations page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Previous Experience==&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what your personal background is or what skill level you&#039;ve got; we want to ensure that everyone has all the information to operate these particular tools and equipment safely in this particular space. Substantial portions of an authorization may be tool- or site-specific or peculiar to PS:1. You can always prepare for an authorization by studying manuals, watching tutorials or asking others for help, but you should be prepared to sit through a full authorization session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Broken Authorizations==&lt;br /&gt;
A list of [[:Category:Broken Authorization| substandard authorization process documentation]] that currently require improvement or additional information. If you find a page that needs work please add this category tag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note for tool maintainers and wiki maintainers: it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place - don&#039;t double-post when you can link.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wiki Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is likely a sticker or label with a QR code; scan the code with your mobile device or type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. It&#039;s possible that the label might be missing but there still may be a wiki page for the tool or equipment. If you can&#039;t find the label, search the wiki with the name or make and model of the equipment; try to find the wiki page for the equipment. Help maintain the consistency of the wiki and tools by creating labels or letting volunteers know that labels are missing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example Label ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth1.jpg |200px|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s use the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lulzbot_Taz3]]&#039;&#039;&#039; 3D printer as an example: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The label indicates that it requires authorization. On the Wiki, you&#039;ll see following information on the right side of the page. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth2.jpg |200px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The page for the tool or equipment may have a paragraph or section about how to get authorized for that particular thing. Requirements vary from thing to thing; check the wiki page first and it&#039;s likely to be explained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/ PS:1 events calendar], the Events panel in Discord, or [https://www.meetup.com/Pumping-Station-One/ Meetup.com] to see if an area has regularly scheduled authorizations. If there is nothing scheduled, you may contact the Volunteer Authorizer for that area, the Area Host for that area, or the contact person listed on the tool&#039;s wiki page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system, hosted locally at [https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org]. It is generally a prerequisite for access to in-person authorization sessions. Use the courses to refresh your memory on various equipment processes when you first start using the tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Canvas will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time. For simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online.&lt;br /&gt;

All authorizations and basic requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for those pieces of equipment&#039;&#039;&#039; populated from the master list of [[Authorizations]]. All tools should have an [[Equipment_Label_Example|Equipment Label]] on it regardless of authorization status, but especially those that have authorization requirements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Authorizations]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;You are responsible for becoming properly authorized for any tool based on the authorization requirements.&#039;&#039;&#039; Much of the complex or dangerous equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the equipment label on the piece of equipment to see if it requires authorization or not. The equipment label is a direct link to a wiki page that explains about the tool and will have a section for &amp;quot;How to Get Authorized&amp;quot;. If insufficient information is available on the wiki page you can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or through the relevant discord channel, or see [[How_Do_I_Get_Authorized%3F#Broken_Authorizations|Broken Authorizations]] to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations are recorded as part of your member account by the relevant authorizer. Computer-controlled tools (e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] ) require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order for your membership login to enable access to the computer. Most tool authorizations operate on the honor system. Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment may result in the loss of equipment access or require retraining. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. Mastery of any process is also your responsibility: ask questions in relevant Discord channels, use online sources, take classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or ask a knowledgeable member. Share your knowledge and help keep the wiki updated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Visit the [[Authorizations]] page to get a comprehensive list of the current authorizations available at PS1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Viral Authorizations===&lt;br /&gt;
Some authorization may be considered &amp;quot;viral authorizations&amp;quot;, as determined by an area host, and only if explicitly stated on the equipment&#039;s wiki page. For Viral Authorizations you only need to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also [[:Category:Equipment|Equipment Page]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some Authorizations are viral, as in anyone who is already authorized can teach you how to use a tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Requesting Authorization==&lt;br /&gt;
Follow the instructions in on the equipment page for a tool or authorizations page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Previous Experience==&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what your personal background is or what skill level you&#039;ve got; we want to ensure that everyone has all the information to operate these particular tools and equipment safely in this particular space. Substantial portions of an authorization may be tool- or site-specific or peculiar to PS:1. You can always prepare for an authorization by studying manuals, watching tutorials or asking others for help, but you should be prepared to sit through a full authorization session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Broken Authorizations==&lt;br /&gt;
A list of [[:Category:Broken Authorization| substandard authorization process documentation]] that currently require improvement or additional information. If you find a page that needs work please add this category tag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note for tool maintainers and wiki maintainers: it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place - don&#039;t double-post when you can link.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wiki Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is likely a sticker or label with a QR code; scan the code with your mobile device or type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. It&#039;s possible that the label might be missing but there still may be a wiki page for the tool or equipment. If you can&#039;t find the label, search the wiki with the name or make and model of the equipment; try to find the wiki page for the equipment. Help maintain the consistency of the wiki and tools by creating labels or letting volunteers know that labels are missing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example Label ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth1.jpg |200px|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s use the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lulzbot_Taz3]]&#039;&#039;&#039; 3D printer as an example: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The label indicates that it requires authorization. On the Wiki, you&#039;ll see following information on the right side of the page. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth2.jpg |200px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The page for the tool or equipment may have a paragraph or section about how to get authorized for that particular thing. Requirements vary from thing to thing; check the wiki page first and it&#039;s likely to be explained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/ PS:1 events calendar], the Events panel in Discord, or [https://www.meetup.com/Pumping-Station-One/ Meetup.com] to see if an area has regularly scheduled authorizations. If there is nothing scheduled, you may contact the Volunteer Authorizer for that area, the Area Host for that area, or the contact person listed on the tool&#039;s wiki page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system, hosted locally at [https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org]. It is generally a prerequisite for access to in-person authorization sessions. Use the courses to refresh your memory on various equipment processes when you first start using the tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Canvas will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time. For simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Requesting Authorization ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Write a sentence in the body text explaining that you are looking to become authorized, and list your basic availability over the next 2 weeks. Usually someone will write back and propose a time to meetup at the space within a few days. If you do not receive a response after 5 days (which is unlikely), you are welcome to reply to your own topic saying you have not received a response. Remember, it is nobody&#039;s paid job to authorize you; we are all volunteers helping one another. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you hear back, schedule a mutually agreed upon time. Oftentimes, other members will join the thread to say they are also looking to get authorized and it will become a small group event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why &#039;&#039;&#039;authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool&#039;&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Be cool, get authed&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;section end=&amp;quot;authmantra&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations and basic requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment&#039;&#039;&#039; populated from the master list of [[Authorizations]]. All tools should have an [ https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example Equipment Label] on it regardless of authorization status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the complex or dangerous equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the equipment label on the piece of equipment, to see if it requires authorization or not.&lt;br /&gt;
Some authorizations are handled by an area host&#039;s volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specific tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or through the relevant discord channel.&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. Mastery of any process is your responsibility: ask questions in relevant Discord channels, use online sources, take classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or ask a knowledgeable member. Share your knowledge and help keep the wiki updated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;You are responsible for becoming properly authorized for any tool based on the authorization requirements.&#039;&#039;&#039; All authorizations are recorded as part of your member account by the relevant authorizer. Computer-controlled tools (e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] ) require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order for your membership login to enable access to the computer. Most tool authorizations operate on the honor system. Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment may result in the loss of equipment access or require retraining. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Authorizations]]==&lt;br /&gt;
Visit the authorizations page to get a comprehensive list of the current authorizations available at PS1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every tool that requires authorization should have an equipment label directing you to a wiki page that explains how to get authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general rule of thumb is that anything more dangerous than a soldering iron probably requires authorization. So, if you see something that fits that description and you don&#039;t see a label on it, then there probably ought to be one. If you have any questions or concern post in the relevant Discord channel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use the search box on the wiki to look for the tool or equipment you&#039;re interested in, or look at the equipment label for a link to that information. Most wiki pages about tools or equipment will have a section for &amp;quot;How to get authorized&amp;quot; or similar language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] or in the events calendar in the Discord.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Viral Authorizations]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Some authorization may be considered &amp;quot;viral authorizations&amp;quot;, as determined by an area host, and only if explicitly stated on the equipment&#039;s wiki page. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For Viral Authorizations you only need to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From: [[:Category:Equipment]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some Authorizations are viral, as in anyone who is already authorized can teach you how to use a tool.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Requesting Authorization ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Write a sentence in the body text explaining that you are looking to become authorized, and list your basic availability over the next 2 weeks. Usually someone will write back and propose a time to meetup at the space within a few days. If you do not receive a response after 5 days (which is unlikely), you are welcome to reply to your own topic saying you have not received a response. Remember, it is nobody&#039;s paid job to authorize you; we are all volunteers helping one another. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you hear back, schedule a mutually agreed upon time. Oftentimes, other members will join the thread to say they are also looking to get authorized and it will become a small group event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contact info@pumpingstationone.org if you get stuck or encounter any problems. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Previous Experience ==&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what your personal background is or what skill level you&#039;ve got; we want to ensure that everyone has all the information to operate these particular tools and equipment safely in this particular space. Substantial portions of an authorization may be tool- or site-specific or peculiar to PS:1. You can always prepare for an authorization by studying manuals, watching tutorials or asking others for help, but you should be prepared to sit through a full authorization session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Broken Authorizations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A list of [[:Category:Broken Authorization| substandard authorization process documentation]] that currently require improvement or additional information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note for tool maintainers and wiki maintainers: it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place - don&#039;t double-post when you can link.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wiki Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is likely a paper label with a QR code; type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. It&#039;s possible that the label might be missing but there still may be a wiki page for the tool or equipment. If you can&#039;t find the label, search the wiki with the name or make and model of the equipment; try to find the wiki page for the equipment. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth1.jpg |200px|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example Label ==&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s use the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lulzbot_Taz3]]&#039;&#039;&#039; 3D printer as an example: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The label indicates that it requires authorization. On the Wiki, you&#039;ll see following information on the right side of the page. [[File:Auth2.jpg |200px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The page for the tool or equipment may have a paragraph or section about how to get authorized for that particular thing. Requirements vary from thing to thing; check the wiki page first and it&#039;s likely to be explained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/ PS:1 events calendar], the Events panel in Discord, or [https://www.meetup.com/Pumping-Station-One/ Meetup.com] to see if an area has regularly scheduled authorizations. If there is nothing scheduled, you may contact the Volunteer Authorizer for that area, the Area Host for that area, or the contact person listed on the tool&#039;s wiki page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system, hosted locally at [https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org]. It is generally a prerequisite for access to in-person authorization sessions. Use it to refresh your memory on various equipment processes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Canvas will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time. For simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For ANY tool, the authoritative process for it&#039;s authorization, such as it is, is on the tool&#039;s own wiki page. Any mention here of process or requirements is liable to be somewhat out of date, unless that has been updated to a link to the tool. For tool maintainers and wiki maintainers, it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place [a kind of basic design principle for wiki content, don&#039;t double-post when you can link.]&lt;br /&gt;

===duplicate information?===&lt;br /&gt;
Every tool that requires authorization should have an equipment label directing you to a wiki page that explains how to get authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general rule of thumb is that anything more dangerous than a soldering iron probably requires authorization. So, if you see something that fits that description and you don&#039;t see a label on it, then there probably ought to be one. Look on the wiki or ask an area host or someone that seems wise to help you figure out the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(To be added, a link to the hosted areas and comprehensive equipment lists)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things need only an authorized member&#039;s say-so to count you as authorized; generally the simpler safer stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things require a pretty serious and somewhat more formal process, maybe even a couple of sessions. More dangerous and complicated things include the ShopBot or the Tormach CNC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things are in between, and need a particularly authorized proctor or trainer, but can be done in one session. Examples like the laser cutters or the vinyl cutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more precise answers, use the search box on the wiki to look for the tool or equipment you&#039;re interested in, or look at the equipment label for a link to that information. Most wiki pages about tools or equipment will have a section for &amp;quot;How to get authorized&amp;quot; or similar language.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Canvas]] is a learning management system. It is generally a prerequisite for access to in-person authorization sessions. Use it to refresh your memory on various equipment processes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information. Why tell you about Canvas if it isn&#039;t running yet? So you can volunteer to help make it happen!&lt;br /&gt;

==== ShopBot ====&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the toolpath and control software. This class is unlimited capacity and generally open to the public. The software-only class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;

There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the toolpath and control software. This class is unlimited capacity and generally open to the public. The software-only class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The current areas have broken authorization paths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Things that can get a tool listed as having a broken certification path:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Not regularly scheduled Certifications&lt;br /&gt;
* Waiting for a mailing list post&lt;br /&gt;
* requiring a specific member, or overly small group of members to use a machine.&lt;br /&gt;
* Requiring knowledge of PS:One&#039;s internal strucure&lt;br /&gt;
* Requiring knowldege of specific member&#039;s of PS:One, or requiring contacting members that do not have publicly available contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Certification paths that have frequent complaints of not being able to get certified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== On The Bridgeport Mill ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are currently no regularly scheduled authorizations happening the on manual Bridgeport, but Cold Metals Volunteer Authorizers can field a request.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I&#039;ve seen folks doing authorizations with some frequency. They aren&#039;t scheduled, but it doesn&#039;t seem inaccessible.&#039;&#039;--[[User:Dbever|Dbever]] ([[User talk:Dbever|talk]]) 08:29, 22 June 2015 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This currently requires Tier 1 Authorization. https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Tier_1_Cold_Metals_Authorization&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== On Metal Shop Basic Tools (Tier 1) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following tools fall under Tier 1 Authorization: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Central Machinery Metal Bandsaw]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[DoAll Drill Press]], [[Bench Grinder (6in)]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Belt Sander]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Johnson Bandsaw]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tier 1 Cold Metals Authorization|Who&#039;s Tier 1 Certified, who can certify me?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tier 1 Authorization does not have a regular schedule, and substantial amounts of time pass between schedules.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Any tool more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use&#039;&#039;&#039;, these are marked with a sticker like the one above. Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why &#039;&#039;&#039;authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool&#039;&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Be cool, get authed&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;section end=&amp;quot;authmantra&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations and basic requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment&#039;&#039;&#039; populated from the master list of [[Authorizations]]. All tools should have an [ https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example Equipment Label] on it regardless of authorization status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the complex or dangerous equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the equipment label on the piece of equipment, to see if it requires authorization or not. Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. Mastery of any process is your responsibility: ask questions in relevant Discord channels, use online sources, take classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or ask a knowledgeable member. Share your knowledge and help keep the wiki updated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are responsible for becoming properly authorized for any tool based on the authorization requirements. All authorizations are recorded as part of your member account by the relevant authorizer. Computer-controlled tools (e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] ) require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order for your membership login to enable access to the computer. Most tool authorizations operate on the honor system. Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment may result in the loss of equipment access or require retraining. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] or in the events calendar in the Discord. Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. [[Viral Authorizations]] only need you to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area&#039;s volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specific tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or through the relevant discord channel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information. Why tell you about Canvas if it isn&#039;t running yet? So you can volunteer to help make it happen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also a list of [[Broken Authorization|authorization processes]] that currently require improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For ANY tool, the authoritative process for it&#039;s authorization, such as it is, is on the tool&#039;s own wiki page. Any mention here of process or requirements is liable to be somewhat out of date, unless that has been updated to a link to the tool. For tool maintainers and wiki maintainers, it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place [a kind of basic design principle for wiki content, don&#039;t double-post when you can link.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wiki Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is likely a paper label with a QR code; type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. It&#039;s possible that the label might be missing but there still may be a wiki page for the tool or equipment. If you can&#039;t find the label, search the wiki with the name or make and model of the equipment; try to find the wiki page for the equipment. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth1.jpg |200px|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Previous Experience ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can always prepare for an authorization by studying manuals, watching tutorials or asking others for help, but you should be prepared to sit through a full authorization session no matter what your personal background is or what skill level you&#039;ve got; we want to ensure that everyone has all the information to operate tools and equipment safely in the space and substantial portions of an authorization may be tool- or site-specific or peculiar to PS:1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s use the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lulzbot_Taz3]]&#039;&#039;&#039; 3D printer as an example: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The label indicates that it requires authorization. On the Wiki, you&#039;ll see following information on the right side of the page. [[File:Auth2.jpg |200px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The page for the tool or equipment may have a paragraph or section about how to get authorized for that particular thing. Requirements vary from thing to thing; check the wiki page first and it&#039;s likely to be explained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the PS:1 events calendar - [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/] and/or Meetup.com to see if this area has regularly scheduled authorizations. If there is nothing scheduled, you may contact the Volunteer Authorizer for that area, the Area Host for that area, or the contact person listed on the tool&#039;s wiki page.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Requesting Authorization ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Write a sentence in the body text explaining that you are looking to become authorized, and list your basic availability over the next 2 weeks. Usually someone will write back and propose a time to meetup at the space within a few days. If you do not receive a response after 5 days (which is unlikely), you are welcome to reply to your own topic saying you have not received a response. Remember, it is nobody&#039;s paid job to authorize you; we are all volunteers helping one another. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you hear back, schedule a mutually agreed upon time. Oftentimes, other members will join the thread to say they are also looking to get authorized and it will become a small group event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contact info@pumpingstationone.org if you get stuck or encounter any problems. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===duplicate information?===&lt;br /&gt;
Every tool that requires authorization should have an equipment label directing you to a wiki page that explains how to get authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general rule of thumb is that anything more dangerous than a soldering iron probably requires authorization. So, if you see something that fits that description and you don&#039;t see a label on it, then there probably ought to be one. Look on the wiki or ask an area host or someone that seems wise to help you figure out the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(To be added, a link to the hosted areas and comprehensive equipment lists)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things need only an authorized member&#039;s say-so to count you as authorized; generally the simpler safer stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things require a pretty serious and somewhat more formal process, maybe even a couple of sessions. More dangerous and complicated things include the ShopBot or the Tormach CNC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things are in between, and need a particularly authorized proctor or trainer, but can be done in one session. Examples like the laser cutters or the vinyl cutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more precise answers, use the search box on the wiki to look for the tool or equipment you&#039;re interested in, or look at the equipment label for a link to that information. Most wiki pages about tools or equipment will have a section for &amp;quot;How to get authorized&amp;quot; or similar language.&lt;br /&gt;

==[[Authorizations]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system. It is generally a prerequisite for access to in-person authorization sessions. Use it to refresh your memory on various equipment processes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hot Metals ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for various hot metal tools, including the MIG welder, TIG welder, and plasma cutter, are performed on request, often in conjunction with hot metals office hours. It is recommended that you contact the person holding office hours in advance if you are interested in authorization. See the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for details, including contact info.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sewing Machines ==&lt;br /&gt;
No certification is required for the tabletop sewing machines. For the [[Singer 20U Industrial Sewing Machine]], there is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWxIhiSQnno tutorial video], followed by a required authorization session with Shellie Lewis (Arts &amp;amp; Crafts Area Host). The [[Singer Serger 14T948DS]] differential feed sewing machine also requires authorization. Shellie generally holds Arts &amp;amp; Crafts &amp;amp; Digital Media &amp;amp; Knitting office hours weekly and offers instruction then. Check the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ Google calendar] for times and contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ShopBot ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the VCarve software. This class is unlimited capacity, so anyone can attend. The class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a class is not scheduled in the Meetup.com calendar, check the mailing list for scheduled sessions. If one has not happened for some time, you would like to request a class for different times than are regularly available, start a new thread requesting a class with a date and time that works for you and contact the ara host or volunteer authorizer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Front Door ==&lt;br /&gt;
Come to Orientation on the 4th Sunday of the month at 4:00pm and come to a general meeting on Tuesday at 8:00pm and get your ID verified by two board members.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&#039;&#039;&#039;Any tool more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use&#039;&#039;&#039;, these are marked with a sticker like the one above. Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why &#039;&#039;&#039;authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool&#039;&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Be cool, get authed&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;section end=&amp;quot;authmantra&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations and basic requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment&#039;&#039;&#039; populated from the master list of [[Authorizations]]. All tools should have an [ https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example Equipment Label] on it regardless of authorization status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the complex or dangerous equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the equipment label on the piece of equipment, to see if it requires authorization or not. Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. Mastery of any process is your responsibility: ask questions in relevant Discord channels, use online sources, take classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or ask a knowledgeable member. Share your knowledge and help keep the wiki updated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are responsible for becoming properly authorized for any tool based on the authorization requirements. All authorizations are recorded as part of your member account by the relevant authorizer. Computer-controlled tools (e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] ) require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order for your membership login to enable access to the computer. Most tool authorizations operate on the honor system. Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment may result in the loss of equipment access or require retraining. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] or in the events calendar in the Discord. Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. [[Viral Authorizations]] only need you to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area&#039;s volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specific tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or through the relevant discord channel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information. Why tell you about Canvas if it isn&#039;t running yet? So you can volunteer to help make it happen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also a list of [[Broken Authorization|authorization processes]] that currently require improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For ANY tool, the authoritative process for it&#039;s authorization, such as it is, is on the tool&#039;s own wiki page. Any mention here of process or requirements is liable to be somewhat out of date, unless that has been updated to a link to the tool. For tool maintainers and wiki maintainers, it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place [a kind of basic design principle for wiki content, don&#039;t double-post when you can link.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wiki Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is likely a paper label with a QR code; type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. It&#039;s possible that the label might be missing but there still may be a wiki page for the tool or equipment. If you can&#039;t find the label, search the wiki with the name or make and model of the equipment; try to find the wiki page for the equipment. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth1.jpg |200px|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Previous Experience ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can always prepare for an authorization by studying manuals, watching tutorials or asking others for help, but you should be prepared to sit through a full authorization session no matter what your personal background is or what skill level you&#039;ve got; we want to ensure that everyone has all the information to operate tools and equipment safely in the space and substantial portions of an authorization may be tool- or site-specific or peculiar to PS:1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s use the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lulzbot_Taz3]]&#039;&#039;&#039; 3D printer as an example: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The label indicates that it requires authorization. On the Wiki, you&#039;ll see following information on the right side of the page. [[File:Auth2.jpg |200px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The page for the tool or equipment may have a paragraph or section about how to get authorized for that particular thing. Requirements vary from thing to thing; check the wiki page first and it&#039;s likely to be explained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the PS:1 events calendar - [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/] and/or Meetup.com to see if this area has regularly scheduled authorizations. If there is nothing scheduled, you may contact the Volunteer Authorizer for that area, the Area Host for that area, or the contact person listed on the tool&#039;s wiki page.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Requesting Authorization ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Write a sentence in the body text explaining that you are looking to become authorized, and list your basic availability over the next 2 weeks. Usually someone will write back and propose a time to meetup at the space within a few days. If you do not receive a response after 5 days (which is unlikely), you are welcome to reply to your own topic saying you have not received a response. Remember, it is nobody&#039;s paid job to authorize you; we are all volunteers helping one another. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you hear back, schedule a mutually agreed upon time. Oftentimes, other members will join the thread to say they are also looking to get authorized and it will become a small group event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contact info@pumpingstationone.org if you get stuck or encounter any problems. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===duplicate information?===&lt;br /&gt;
Every tool that requires authorization should have an equipment label directing you to a wiki page that explains how to get authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general rule of thumb is that anything more dangerous than a soldering iron probably requires authorization. So, if you see something that fits that description and you don&#039;t see a label on it, then there probably ought to be one. Look on the wiki or ask an area host or someone that seems wise to help you figure out the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(To be added, a link to the hosted areas and comprehensive equipment lists)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things need only an authorized member&#039;s say-so to count you as authorized; generally the simpler safer stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things require a pretty serious and somewhat more formal process, maybe even a couple of sessions. More dangerous and complicated things include the ShopBot or the Tormach CNC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things are in between, and need a particularly authorized proctor or trainer, but can be done in one session. Examples like the laser cutters or the vinyl cutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more precise answers, use the search box on the wiki to look for the tool or equipment you&#039;re interested in, or look at the equipment label for a link to that information. Most wiki pages about tools or equipment will have a section for &amp;quot;How to get authorized&amp;quot; or similar language.&lt;br /&gt;

==[[Authorizations]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system. It is generally a prerequisite for access to in-person authorization sessions. Use it to refresh your memory on various equipment proceses&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Laser Cutter ==&lt;br /&gt;
See the respective pages for each laser: https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/BOSS_LS-3655_150w_Laser_Engraver#Authorizations for example. Search for &amp;quot;laser&amp;quot; on the wiki, or look in the CNC category for all tools hosted in that area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3D Printer ==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[MakerBot Replicator]] and [[3dSystems CubePro]] do not require authorization. Other 3D Printers are authorized [[Authorizations#CNC_-_3D_Printers|as specified here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cold Metal Machines (Tier 1) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for many of the most commonly used metal tools, including the drill press, [[Rockwell Delta 20&amp;quot; Bandsaw|bandsaw]], [[Johnson Bandsaw|Johnson bandsaw]], [[DeWalt Chop Saw|chop saw]], [[Belt Sander|belt sander]], [[Bench Grinder (6in)|bench grinder]], and [[Angle Grinder (4.5in)|angle grinders]], are bundled together into a single session. Search the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for Tier 1 Metals, or contact one of the Tier 1 authorizors (https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Volunteer_Positions) , or monitor the mailing list. Tier 1 authorization is a prerequisite for authorization on any of the other metalworking tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Metal Lathe, Bridgeport, and Gear Head Drill Press ==&lt;br /&gt;
Anna Yu performs authorization for the [[Clausing Lathe]] every Tuesday. You must email her first. Her contact info is on the side of the lathe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for the [[Bridgeport CNC Mill]] and [[Boice Crane Drill Press]] are available on request. Contact the area host or post a request to the mailing list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before requesting authorization on these machines, you should complete Tier 1 metals certification.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hot Metals ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for various hot metal tools, including the MIG welder, TIG welder, and plasma cutter, are performed on request, often in conjunction with hot metals office hours. It is recommended that you contact the person holding office hours in advance if you are interested in authorization. See the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for details, including contact info.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sewing Machines ==&lt;br /&gt;
No certification is required for the tabletop sewing machines. For the [[Singer 20U Industrial Sewing Machine]], there is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWxIhiSQnno tutorial video], followed by a required authorization session with Shellie Lewis (Arts &amp;amp; Crafts Area Host). The [[Singer Serger 14T948DS]] differential feed sewing machine also requires authorization. Shellie generally holds Arts &amp;amp; Crafts &amp;amp; Digital Media &amp;amp; Knitting office hours weekly and offers instruction then. Check the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ Google calendar] for times and contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ShopBot ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the VCarve software. This class is unlimited capacity, so anyone can attend. The class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a class is not scheduled in the Meetup.com calendar, check the mailing list for scheduled sessions. If one has not happened for some time, you would like to request a class for different times than are regularly available, start a new thread requesting a class with a date and time that works for you and contact the ara host or volunteer authorizer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Front Door ==&lt;br /&gt;
Come to Orientation on the 4th Sunday of the month at 4:00pm and come to a general meeting on Tuesday at 8:00pm and get your ID verified by two board members.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

All authorizations and basic requirements can be found on each &#039;&#039;&#039;Equipment Page&#039;&#039;&#039; populated from the master list of [[Authorizations]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the [[equipment label]] on the thing, to see if it requires authorization or not. Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. For that, you have several options, including online sources, classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or a knowledgeable member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are responsible for becoming properly authorized, and access to most equipment is mostly via the honor system (the main exceptions being the computer-controlled tools, e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] or the [[Epilog 30w Mini 24 Laser Engraver|Epilog]], which require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order to log in to the computer). Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment can result in loss of access. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment.&#039;&#039;&#039; Tools should have an [Template:EquipmentPage|equipment label] https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example on it that lists the appropriate wiki page URL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for certain things (again, look at the thing&#039;s wiki page to see if that might be the case).

You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or sometimes the protocol is to post a request on the PS1 mailing list. For further details about the process, visit [[Authorization: An Overview for New Members]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a move afoot to transfer some of the burden for authorization and safety awareness for tools and equipment to an LMS (Learning Management System) called. [[Canvas]]. [[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Any tool more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use&#039;&#039;&#039;, these are marked with a sticker like the one above. Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why &#039;&#039;&#039;authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool&#039;&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Be cool, get authed&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;section end=&amp;quot;authmantra&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All authorizations and basic requirements can be found on each &#039;&#039;&#039;Equipment Page&#039;&#039;&#039; populated from the master list of [[Authorizations]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the [[equipment label]] on the thing, to see if it requires authorization or not. Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. For that, you have several options, including online sources, classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or a knowledgeable member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are responsible for becoming properly authorized, and access to most equipment is mostly via the honor system (the main exceptions being the computer-controlled tools, e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] or the [[Epilog 30w Mini 24 Laser Engraver|Epilog]], which require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order to log in to the computer). Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment can result in loss of access. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment.&#039;&#039;&#039; Tools should have an [Template:EquipmentPage|equipment label] https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example on it that lists the appropriate wiki page URL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for certain things (again, look at the thing&#039;s wiki page to see if that might be the case). Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. [[Viral Authorizations|Viral-type authorizations]] only need you to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area&#039;s volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specific tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or sometimes the protocol is to post a request on the PS1 mailing list. For further details about the process, visit [[Authorization: An Overview for New Members]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a move afoot to transfer some of the burden for authorization and safety awareness for tools and equipment to an LMS (Learning Management System) called. [[Canvas]]. [[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information. Why tell you about Canvas if it isn&#039;t running yet? So you can volunteer to help make it happen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also a list of [[Broken Authorization|authorization processes]] that currently require improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For ANY tool, the authoritative process for it&#039;s authorization, such as it is, is on the tool&#039;s own wiki page. Any mention here of process or requirements is liable to be somewhat out of date, unless that has been updated to a link to the tool. For tool maintainers and wiki maintainers, it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place [a kind of basic design principle for wiki content, don&#039;t double-post when you can link.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wiki Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is likely a paper label with a QR code; type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. It&#039;s possible that the label might be missing but there still may be a wiki page for the tool or equipment. If you can&#039;t find the label, search the wiki with the name or make and model of the equipment; try to find the wiki page for the equipment. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth1.jpg |200px|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Previous Experience ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can always prepare for an authorization by studying manuals, watching tutorials or asking others for help, but you should be prepared to sit through a full authorization session no matter what your personal background is or what skill level you&#039;ve got; we want to ensure that everyone has all the information to operate tools and equipment safely in the space and substantial portions of an authorization may be tool- or site-specific or peculiar to PS:1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s use the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lulzbot_Taz3]]&#039;&#039;&#039; 3D printer as an example: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The label indicates that it requires authorization. On the Wiki, you&#039;ll see following information on the right side of the page. [[File:Auth2.jpg |200px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The page for the tool or equipment may have a paragraph or section about how to get authorized for that particular thing. Requirements vary from thing to thing; check the wiki page first and it&#039;s likely to be explained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the PS:1 events calendar - [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/] and/or Meetup.com to see if this area has regularly scheduled authorizations. If there is nothing scheduled, you may contact the Volunteer Authorizer for that area, the Area Host for that area, or the contact person listed on the tool&#039;s wiki page.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Requesting Authorization ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Write a sentence in the body text explaining that you are looking to become authorized, and list your basic availability over the next 2 weeks. Usually someone will write back and propose a time to meetup at the space within a few days. If you do not receive a response after 5 days (which is unlikely), you are welcome to reply to your own topic saying you have not received a response. Remember, it is nobody&#039;s paid job to authorize you; we are all volunteers helping one another. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you hear back, schedule a mutually agreed upon time. Oftentimes, other members will join the thread to say they are also looking to get authorized and it will become a small group event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contact info@pumpingstationone.org if you get stuck or encounter any problems. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===duplicate information?===&lt;br /&gt;
Every tool that requires authorization should have an equipment label directing you to a wiki page that explains how to get authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general rule of thumb is that anything more dangerous than a soldering iron probably requires authorization. So, if you see something that fits that description and you don&#039;t see a label on it, then there probably ought to be one. Look on the wiki or ask an area host or someone that seems wise to help you figure out the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(To be added, a link to the hosted areas and comprehensive equipment lists)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things need only an authorized member&#039;s say-so to count you as authorized; generally the simpler safer stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things require a pretty serious and somewhat more formal process, maybe even a couple of sessions. More dangerous and complicated things include the ShopBot or the Tormach CNC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things are in between, and need a particularly authorized proctor or trainer, but can be done in one session. Examples like the laser cutters or the vinyl cutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more precise answers, use the search box on the wiki to look for the tool or equipment you&#039;re interested in, or look at the equipment label for a link to that information. Most wiki pages about tools or equipment will have a section for &amp;quot;How to get authorized&amp;quot; or similar language.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Laser Cutter ==&lt;br /&gt;
See the respective pages for each laser: https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/BOSS_LS-3655_150w_Laser_Engraver#Authorizations for example. Search for &amp;quot;laser&amp;quot; on the wiki, or look in the CNC category for all tools hosted in that area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3D Printer ==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[MakerBot Replicator]] and [[3dSystems CubePro]] do not require authorization. Other 3D Printers are authorized [[Authorizations#CNC_-_3D_Printers|as specified here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cold Metal Machines (Tier 1) ==&lt;br /&gt;

Search the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for Tier 1 Metals, or contact one of the Tier 1 authorizors (https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Volunteer_Positions) , or monitor the mailing list. Tier 1 authorization is a prerequisite for authorization on any of the other metalworking tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Metal Lathe, Bridgeport, and Gear Head Drill Press ==&lt;br /&gt;
Anna Yu performs authorization for the [[Clausing Lathe]] every Tuesday. You must email her first. Her contact info is on the side of the lathe. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Hot Metals ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for various hot metal tools, including the MIG welder, TIG welder, and plasma cutter, are performed on request, often in conjunction with hot metals office hours. It is recommended that you contact the person holding office hours in advance if you are interested in authorization. See the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for details, including contact info.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wood Shop Tools ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations are scheduled on the Canvas calendar, accessible after you complete the Woodshop Tool Authorization course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sewing Machines ==&lt;br /&gt;
No certification is required for the tabletop sewing machines. For the [[Singer 20U Industrial Sewing Machine]], there is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWxIhiSQnno tutorial video], followed by a required authorization session with Shellie Lewis (Arts &amp;amp; Crafts Area Host). The [[Singer Serger 14T948DS]] differential feed sewing machine also requires authorization. Shellie generally holds Arts &amp;amp; Crafts &amp;amp; Digital Media &amp;amp; Knitting office hours weekly and offers instruction then. Check the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ Google calendar] for times and contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ShopBot ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the VCarve software. This class is unlimited capacity, so anyone can attend. The class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Authorizations]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system, still in the early stages of deployment at PS1. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Laser Cutter ==&lt;br /&gt;
See the respective pages for each laser: https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/BOSS_LS-3655_150w_Laser_Engraver#Authorizations for example. Search for &amp;quot;laser&amp;quot; on the wiki, or look in the CNC category for all tools hosted in that area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3D Printer ==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[MakerBot Replicator]] and [[3dSystems CubePro]] do not require authorization. Other 3D Printers are authorized [[Authorizations#CNC_-_3D_Printers|as specified here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cold Metal Machines (Tier 1) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for many of the most commonly used metal tools, including the drill press, [[Rockwell Delta 20&amp;quot; Bandsaw|bandsaw]], [[Johnson Bandsaw|Johnson bandsaw]], [[DeWalt Chop Saw|chop saw]], [[Belt Sander|belt sander]], [[Bench Grinder (6in)|bench grinder]], and [[Angle Grinder (4.5in)|angle grinders]], are bundled together into a single session. Search the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for Tier 1 Metals, or contact one of the Tier 1 authorizors (https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Volunteer_Positions) , or monitor the mailing list. Tier 1 authorization is a prerequisite for authorization on any of the other metalworking tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Metal Lathe, Bridgeport, and Gear Head Drill Press ==&lt;br /&gt;
Anna Yu performs authorization for the [[Clausing Lathe]] every Tuesday. You must email her first. Her contact info is on the side of the lathe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for the [[Bridgeport CNC Mill]] and [[Boice Crane Drill Press]] are available on request. Contact the area host or post a request to the mailing list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before requesting authorization on these machines, you should complete Tier 1 metals certification.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hot Metals ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for various hot metal tools, including the MIG welder, TIG welder, and plasma cutter, are performed on request, often in conjunction with hot metals office hours. It is recommended that you contact the person holding office hours in advance if you are interested in authorization. See the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for details, including contact info.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wood Shop Tools ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations are scheduled on the Canvas calendar, accessible after you complete the Woodshop Tool Authorization course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sewing Machines ==&lt;br /&gt;
No certification is required for the tabletop sewing machines. For the [[Singer 20U Industrial Sewing Machine]], there is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWxIhiSQnno tutorial video], followed by a required authorization session with Shellie Lewis (Arts &amp;amp; Crafts Area Host). The [[Singer Serger 14T948DS]] differential feed sewing machine also requires authorization. Shellie generally holds Arts &amp;amp; Crafts &amp;amp; Digital Media &amp;amp; Knitting office hours weekly and offers instruction then. Check the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ Google calendar] for times and contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ShopBot ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the VCarve software. This class is unlimited capacity, so anyone can attend. The class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a class is not scheduled in the Meetup.com calendar, check the mailing list for scheduled sessions. If one has not happened for some time, you would like to request a class for different times than are regularly available, start a new thread requesting a class with a date and time that works for you and contact the ara host or volunteer authorizer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Front Door ==&lt;br /&gt;
Come to Orientation on the 4th Sunday of the month at 4:00pm and come to a general meeting on Tuesday at 8:00pm and get your ID verified by two board members.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Most of the equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the [[equipment label]] on the thing, to see if it requires authorization or not. Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. For that, you have several options, including online sources, classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or a knowledgeable member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are responsible for becoming properly authorized, and access to most equipment is mostly via the honor system (the main exceptions being the computer-controlled tools, e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] or the [[Epilog 30w Mini 24 Laser Engraver|Epilog]], which require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order to log in to the computer). Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment can result in loss of access. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment.&#039;&#039;&#039; Tools should have an [Template:EquipmentPage|equipment label] https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example on it that lists the appropriate wiki page URL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for certain things (again, look at the thing&#039;s wiki page to see if that might be the case). Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. [[Viral Authorizations|Viral-type authorizations]] only need you to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area&#039;s volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specific tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or sometimes the protocol is to post a request on the PS1 mailing list. For further details about the process, visit [[Authorization: An Overview for New Members]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a move afoot to transfer some of the burden for authorization and safety awareness for tools and equipment to an LMS (Learning Management System) called. [[Canvas]]. [[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information. Why tell you about Canvas if it isn&#039;t running yet? So you can volunteer to help make it happen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also a list of [[Broken Authorization|authorization processes]] that currently require improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For ANY tool, the authoritative process for it&#039;s authorization, such as it is, is on the tool&#039;s own wiki page. Any mention here of process or requirements is liable to be somewhat out of date, unless that has been updated to a link to the tool. For tool maintainers and wiki maintainers, it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place [a kind of basic design principle for wiki content, don&#039;t double-post when you can link.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wiki Pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is likely a paper label with a QR code; type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. It&#039;s possible that the label might be missing but there still may be a wiki page for the tool or equipment. If you can&#039;t find the label, search the wiki with the name or make and model of the equipment; try to find the wiki page for the equipment. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Auth1.jpg |200px|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Previous Experience ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can always prepare for an authorization by studying manuals, watching tutorials or asking others for help, but you should be prepared to sit through a full authorization session no matter what your personal background is or what skill level you&#039;ve got; we want to ensure that everyone has all the information to operate tools and equipment safely in the space and substantial portions of an authorization may be tool- or site-specific or peculiar to PS:1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s use the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lulzbot_Taz3]]&#039;&#039;&#039; 3D printer as an example: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The label indicates that it requires authorization. On the Wiki, you&#039;ll see following information on the right side of the page. [[File:Auth2.jpg |200px|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The page for the tool or equipment may have a paragraph or section about how to get authorized for that particular thing. Requirements vary from thing to thing; check the wiki page first and it&#039;s likely to be explained. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check the PS:1 events calendar - [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/] and/or Meetup.com to see if this area has regularly scheduled authorizations. If there is nothing scheduled, you may contact the Volunteer Authorizer for that area, the Area Host for that area, or the contact person listed on the tool&#039;s wiki page.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Requesting Authorization ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Write a sentence in the body text explaining that you are looking to become authorized, and list your basic availability over the next 2 weeks. Usually someone will write back and propose a time to meetup at the space within a few days. If you do not receive a response after 5 days (which is unlikely), you are welcome to reply to your own topic saying you have not received a response. Remember, it is nobody&#039;s paid job to authorize you; we are all volunteers helping one another. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you hear back, schedule a mutually agreed upon time. Oftentimes, other members will join the thread to say they are also looking to get authorized and it will become a small group event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contact info@pumpingstationone.org if you get stuck or encounter any problems. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===duplicate information?===&lt;br /&gt;
Every tool that requires authorization should have an equipment label directing you to a wiki page that explains how to get authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general rule of thumb is that anything more dangerous than a soldering iron probably requires authorization. So, if you see something that fits that description and you don&#039;t see a label on it, then there probably ought to be one. Look on the wiki or ask an area host or someone that seems wise to help you figure out the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(To be added, a link to the hosted areas and comprehensive equipment lists)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things need only an authorized member&#039;s say-so to count you as authorized; generally the simpler safer stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things require a pretty serious and somewhat more formal process, maybe even a couple of sessions. More dangerous and complicated things include the ShopBot or the Tormach CNC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things are in between, and need a particularly authorized proctor or trainer, but can be done in one session. Examples like the laser cutters or the vinyl cutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more precise answers, use the search box on the wiki to look for the tool or equipment you&#039;re interested in, or look at the equipment label for a link to that information. Most wiki pages about tools or equipment will have a section for &amp;quot;How to get authorized&amp;quot; or similar language.&lt;br /&gt;

===[[How Do I Get Authorized?]]===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Any tool more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use&#039;&#039;&#039;, these are marked with a sticker like the one above. Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why &#039;&#039;&#039;authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool&#039;&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Be cool, get authed&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some authorizations are regularly scheduled while others are scheduled on-demand. To schedule an on-demand authorization, members may post in the relevant [[Discord]] channel, or contact a volunteer authorizer directly. Contact information for all current volunteer authorizers can be found at [[Volunteer Positions]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Most of the equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the [[equipment label]] on the thing, to see if it requires authorization or not. Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. For that, you have several options, including online sources, classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or a knowledgeable member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are responsible for becoming properly authorized, and access to most equipment is mostly via the honor system (the main exceptions being the computer-controlled tools, e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] or the [[Epilog 30w Mini 24 Laser Engraver|Epilog]], which require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order to log in to the computer). Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment can result in loss of access. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment.&#039;&#039;&#039; Tools should have an [Template:EquipmentPage|equipment label] https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example on it that lists the appropriate wiki page URL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for certain things (again, look at the thing&#039;s wiki page to see if that might be the case). Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. [[Viral Authorizations|Viral-type authorizations]] only need you to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area&#039;s volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specific tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or sometimes the protocol is to post a request on the PS1 mailing list. For further details about the process, visit [[Authorization: An Overview for New Members]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a move afoot to transfer some of the burden for authorization and safety awareness for tools and equipment to an LMS (Learning Management System) called. [[Canvas]]. [[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information. Why tell you about Canvas if it isn&#039;t running yet? So you can volunteer to help make it happen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also a list of [[Broken Authorization|authorization processes]] that currently require improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For ANY tool, the authoritative process for it&#039;s authorization, such as it is, is on the tool&#039;s own wiki page. Any mention here of process or requirements is liable to be somewhat out of date, unless that has been updated to a link to the tool. For tool maintainers and wiki maintainers, it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place [a kind of basic design principle for wiki content, don&#039;t double-post when you can link.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===duplicate information?===&lt;br /&gt;
Every tool that requires authorization should have an equipment label directing you to a wiki page that explains how to get authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general rule of thumb is that anything more dangerous than a soldering iron probably requires authorization. So, if you see something that fits that description and you don&#039;t see a label on it, then there probably ought to be one. Look on the wiki or ask an area host or someone that seems wise to help you figure out the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(To be added, a link to the hosted areas and comprehensive equipment lists)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things need only an authorized member&#039;s say-so to count you as authorized; generally the simpler safer stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things require a pretty serious and somewhat more formal process, maybe even a couple of sessions. More dangerous and complicated things include the ShopBot or the Tormach CNC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things are in between, and need a particularly authorized proctor or trainer, but can be done in one session. Examples like the laser cutters or the vinyl cutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more precise answers, use the search box on the wiki to look for the tool or equipment you&#039;re interested in, or look at the equipment label for a link to that information. Most wiki pages about tools or equipment will have a section for &amp;quot;How to get authorized&amp;quot; or similar language.&lt;br /&gt;

==[[Authorizations]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system, still in the early stages of deployment at PS1. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Laser Cutter ==&lt;br /&gt;
See the respective pages for each laser: https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/BOSS_LS-3655_150w_Laser_Engraver#Authorizations for example. Search for &amp;quot;laser&amp;quot; on the wiki, or look in the CNC category for all tools hosted in that area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3D Printer ==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[MakerBot Replicator]] and [[3dSystems CubePro]] do not require authorization. Other 3D Printers are authorized [[Authorizations#CNC_-_3D_Printers|as specified here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cold Metal Machines (Tier 1) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for many of the most commonly used metal tools, including the drill press, [[Rockwell Delta 20&amp;quot; Bandsaw|bandsaw]], [[Johnson Bandsaw|Johnson bandsaw]], [[DeWalt Chop Saw|chop saw]], [[Belt Sander|belt sander]], [[Bench Grinder (6in)|bench grinder]], and [[Angle Grinder (4.5in)|angle grinders]], are bundled together into a single session. Search the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for Tier 1 Metals, or contact one of the Tier 1 authorizors (https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Volunteer_Positions) , or monitor the mailing list. Tier 1 authorization is a prerequisite for authorization on any of the other metalworking tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Metal Lathe, Bridgeport, and Gear Head Drill Press ==&lt;br /&gt;
Anna Yu performs authorization for the [[Clausing Lathe]] every Tuesday. You must email her first. Her contact info is on the side of the lathe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for the [[Bridgeport CNC Mill]] and [[Boice Crane Drill Press]] are available on request. Contact the area host or post a request to the mailing list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before requesting authorization on these machines, you should complete Tier 1 metals certification.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hot Metals ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for various hot metal tools, including the MIG welder, TIG welder, and plasma cutter, are performed on request, often in conjunction with hot metals office hours. It is recommended that you contact the person holding office hours in advance if you are interested in authorization. See the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for details, including contact info.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wood Shop Tools ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations are scheduled on the Canvas calendar, accessible after you complete the Woodshop Tool Authorization course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sewing Machines ==&lt;br /&gt;
No certification is required for the tabletop sewing machines. For the [[Singer 20U Industrial Sewing Machine]], there is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWxIhiSQnno tutorial video], followed by a required authorization session with Shellie Lewis (Arts &amp;amp; Crafts Area Host). The [[Singer Serger 14T948DS]] differential feed sewing machine also requires authorization. Shellie generally holds Arts &amp;amp; Crafts &amp;amp; Digital Media &amp;amp; Knitting office hours weekly and offers instruction then. Check the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ Google calendar] for times and contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ShopBot ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the VCarve software. This class is unlimited capacity, so anyone can attend. The class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a class is not scheduled in the Meetup.com calendar, check the mailing list for scheduled sessions. If one has not happened for some time, you would like to request a class for different times than are regularly available, start a new thread requesting a class with a date and time that works for you and contact the ara host or volunteer authorizer.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Most of the equipment at PS1 requires authorization before you can use it. Look at the [[equipment label]] on the thing, to see if it requires authorization or not. Authorization will acquaint you with basic operational and safety procedures, but doesn&#039;t generally include extensive instruction on how to best use each piece of equipment. For that, you have several options, including online sources, classes at one of the several Chicagoland organizations that offer them, or a knowledgeable member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are responsible for becoming properly authorized, and access to most equipment is mostly via the honor system (the main exceptions being the computer-controlled tools, e.g. the [[Shopbot PRS CNC router|ShopBot]] or the [[Epilog 30w Mini 24 Laser Engraver|Epilog]], which require that your authorization be recorded on the member site in order to log in to the computer). Negligent or improper use of a piece of equipment can result in loss of access. See the [[Authorization Policy]] for details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorization requirements can be &#039;&#039;&#039;found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment.&#039;&#039;&#039; Tools should have an [Template:EquipmentPage|equipment label] https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example on it that lists the appropriate wiki page URL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for certain things (again, look at the thing&#039;s wiki page to see if that might be the case). Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. [[Viral Authorizations|Viral-type authorizations]] only need you to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area&#039;s volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specific tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or sometimes the protocol is to post a request on the PS1 mailing list. For further details about the process, visit [[Authorization: An Overview for New Members]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a move afoot to transfer some of the burden for authorization and safety awareness for tools and equipment to an LMS (Learning Management System) called. [[Canvas]]. [[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you&#039;ll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization &#039;homework&#039; you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information. Why tell you about Canvas if it isn&#039;t running yet? So you can volunteer to help make it happen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also a list of [[Broken Authorization|authorization processes]] that currently require improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For ANY tool, the authoritative process for it&#039;s authorization, such as it is, is on the tool&#039;s own wiki page. Any mention here of process or requirements is liable to be somewhat out of date, unless that has been updated to a link to the tool. For tool maintainers and wiki maintainers, it&#039;s good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place [a kind of basic design principle for wiki content, don&#039;t double-post when you can link.]&lt;br /&gt;
===duplicate information?===&lt;br /&gt;
Every tool that requires authorization should have an equipment label directing you to a wiki page that explains how to get authorized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general rule of thumb is that anything more dangerous than a soldering iron probably requires authorization. So, if you see something that fits that description and you don&#039;t see a label on it, then there probably ought to be one. Look on the wiki or ask an area host or someone that seems wise to help you figure out the situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(To be added, a link to the hosted areas and comprehensive equipment lists)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things need only an authorized member&#039;s say-so to count you as authorized; generally the simpler safer stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things require a pretty serious and somewhat more formal process, maybe even a couple of sessions. More dangerous and complicated things include the ShopBot or the Tormach CNC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things are in between, and need a particularly authorized proctor or trainer, but can be done in one session. Examples like the laser cutters or the vinyl cutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more precise answers, use the search box on the wiki to look for the tool or equipment you&#039;re interested in, or look at the equipment label for a link to that information. Most wiki pages about tools or equipment will have a section for &amp;quot;How to get authorized&amp;quot; or similar language.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Canvas ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Canvas]] is a learning management system, still in the early stages of deployment at PS1. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Laser Cutter ==&lt;br /&gt;
See the respective pages for each laser: https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/BOSS_LS-3655_150w_Laser_Engraver#Authorizations for example. Search for &amp;quot;laser&amp;quot; on the wiki, or look in the CNC category for all tools hosted in that area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3D Printer ==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[MakerBot Replicator]] and [[3dSystems CubePro]] do not require authorization. Other 3D Printers are authorized [[Authorizations#CNC_-_3D_Printers|as specified here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cold Metal Machines (Tier 1) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for many of the most commonly used metal tools, including the drill press, [[Rockwell Delta 20&amp;quot; Bandsaw|bandsaw]], [[Johnson Bandsaw|Johnson bandsaw]], [[DeWalt Chop Saw|chop saw]], [[Belt Sander|belt sander]], [[Bench Grinder (6in)|bench grinder]], and [[Angle Grinder (4.5in)|angle grinders]], are bundled together into a single session. Search the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for Tier 1 Metals, or contact one of the Tier 1 authorizors (https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Volunteer_Positions) , or monitor the mailing list. Tier 1 authorization is a prerequisite for authorization on any of the other metalworking tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Metal Lathe, Bridgeport, and Gear Head Drill Press ==&lt;br /&gt;
Anna Yu performs authorization for the [[Clausing Lathe]] every Tuesday. You must email her first. Her contact info is on the side of the lathe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for the [[Bridgeport CNC Mill]] and [[Boice Crane Drill Press]] are available on request. Contact the area host or post a request to the mailing list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before requesting authorization on these machines, you should complete Tier 1 metals certification.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hot Metals ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations for various hot metal tools, including the MIG welder, TIG welder, and plasma cutter, are performed on request, often in conjunction with hot metals office hours. It is recommended that you contact the person holding office hours in advance if you are interested in authorization. See the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for details, including contact info.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wood Shop Tools ==&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations are scheduled on the Canvas calendar, accessible after you complete the Woodshop Tool Authorization course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sewing Machines ==&lt;br /&gt;
No certification is required for the tabletop sewing machines. For the [[Singer 20U Industrial Sewing Machine]], there is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWxIhiSQnno tutorial video], followed by a required authorization session with Shellie Lewis (Arts &amp;amp; Crafts Area Host). The [[Singer Serger 14T948DS]] differential feed sewing machine also requires authorization. Shellie generally holds Arts &amp;amp; Crafts &amp;amp; Digital Media &amp;amp; Knitting office hours weekly and offers instruction then. Check the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ Google calendar] for times and contact information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ShopBot ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the VCarve software. This class is unlimited capacity, so anyone can attend. The class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a class is not scheduled in the Meetup.com calendar, check the mailing list for scheduled sessions. If one has not happened for some time, you would like to request a class for different times than are regularly available, start a new thread requesting a class with a date and time that works for you and contact the ara host or volunteer authorizer.&lt;br /&gt;

==Status==&lt;br /&gt;
([[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 01-12-2018) It refuses to print anything, even internal prints like status pages and configuration pages. Seems like same problem as this forum post:[https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Archive-Read-Only/Designjet-T520-24-quot-stalled-printing/m-p/5399475/highlight/true#M865598 HP Forum] I cleaned out lots of dust and actual chucks of wood from the printer head path, tho I don&#039;t thing that is related to the problem. The print head seems to travel freely when the printer starts up. I looked around online and found others with the same issue but no one with a fix. I called HP and they asked for the SN and they said &amp;quot;Whoa, thats an old printer.&amp;quot; For me to even troubleshoot it with them would cost $20 and if it is anything other then user error, like the printer is actually broken, it is not serviceable. They pretty much wanted nothing to do with it. I think a firmware re-flash would be in order, but I cannot find the proper firmware for this revision. This is a revision A and all I could find is a revision B/C. - Lucas Goossen 01-12-2018&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(ASJ 1-14-2018) Lazily cleaned encoder strip, updated firmware, did hard-reset. When initializing, there is an ink error. Carriage is working, but further testing required. If made OS, this is replacement part CQ890-67105.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
Make sure that the printer is shutdown by pressing the power button by the touch screen, or the head won&#039;t move into the park position, and keep the heads clean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not change print cartridges unless the printer prompts you to do so, and you have permission from the area host. For print quality issues see the troubleshooting section below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This printer will not print without all the cartridges installed and containing some printable ink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
36&amp;quot; Wide format printer, non-archival.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Big Printer&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People using the printer should provide a donation of:&lt;br /&gt;
* $1 per square foot for full coverage color prints (photos/art)&lt;br /&gt;
* $0.25 per square foot for partial coverage prints (text/blue prints/etc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some donated media may be provided by the area host, and may be found next to the printer.  It is recommended that you provide your own media and that it should be designed for use in a HP designjet printer. Roll media can be up to 36&amp;quot; wide and must be on 2&amp;quot; core.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Example media:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000J3M5 Plain Paper]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F3G68 Semi-Gloss Photo Paper]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F3E9W Gloss Photo Paper]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Getting Authorized =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations are [[Viral Authorizations|viral]] for this printer. Ask anyone who&#039;s already authorized to authorize you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Troubleshooting=&lt;br /&gt;
Some common issues that come up with this printer:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;1. There are dark bands of ink in the image&#039;&#039;&#039; - This is most likely due to a misaligned print head and can be caused when the cartridges are replaced&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Solution: Align the print head&#039;&#039;&#039; - On the printer touch screen press the wrench icon (upper right) &amp;gt; Printer Maintenance &amp;gt; Align print head. A patterend page will print and the printer will sense deviations in the print pattern and adjust the head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;2. There are bands of white or partially colored areas&#039;&#039;&#039; - This is most likely due to the printer being left on for an extended period of time or the printer being turned off without being shutdown properly, by pressing the top power button.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Solution: Clean the print head&#039;&#039;&#039; - On the printer touch screen press the wrench icon (upper right) &amp;gt; Printer Maintenance &amp;gt; Clean print head. A few gradient bars will print where banding will be visible. There are 3 stages of print head cleaning (the printer will prompt you to go through the stages) printing a page in each stage, that can unclog jets most of the time. If after the 3 stages jets are still clogged, talk to the area host; the print head may need to be serviced or replaced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;3. The print job isn&#039;t sending / I get errors on the printer touch screen&#039;&#039;&#039; - Symptoms vary&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Solution: Make sure you&#039;ve selected the right driver and settings for your application&#039;&#039;&#039; - Using the HPGL driver for this printer is highly recommended, see driver installation notes below. Make sure that you&#039;re also setting the right paper size, paper type, and print quality. The printer does a bunch of checking automatically and gets pissy when what you&#039;re sending from the computer doesn&#039;t match what is set in the printer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Setting up the printer on your computer =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Artastic computer is a good place to start to print from, but you may want to print from your own computer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Good Way ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;This method is recommended - when printing make sure to select the driver ending with HPGL.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to install the driver is go to [http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=11176931&amp;amp;lang=en&amp;amp;cc=us HP&#039;s website] and install the driver meant for you operating system. Under the section &amp;quot;Driver - Product installation software&amp;quot; you should find a download called something to the effect of &amp;quot;HP Designjet T520 printer series HP-GL/2 and &#039;&#039;&#039;HP RTL Full Feature Solution Installer&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. This is a lengthier installation but gives you much greater control over print parameters, including selecting custom paper sizes. You have to create and save a custom paper size to get a particular paper dimension in the print dialog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For Windows 10 driver go [http://www.hpprinterdriver.net/hp-designjet-t520-36-in-eprinter-driver/ here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Fast Way ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;This driver seems to have compatibility issues and is not recommeded.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can search for devices and install the device via your OS. The dialog that this displays is very clean any easy to use but is lacking in control, in particular specifying custom paper sizes. This particular print dialog only shows the page type and name, so you may want to go find out what [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size the actual dimensions of each paper size] are to save a little time.&lt;br /&gt;

==Status==&lt;br /&gt;
([[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 01-12-2018) It refuses to print anything, even internal prints like status pages and configuration pages. Seems like same problem as this forum post:[https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Archive-Read-Only/Designjet-T520-24-quot-stalled-printing/m-p/5399475/highlight/true#M865598 HP Forum] I cleaned out lots of dust and actual chucks of wood from the printer head path, tho I don&#039;t thing that is related to the problem. The print head seems to travel freely when the printer starts up. I looked around online and found others with the same issue but no one with a fix. I called HP and they asked for the SN and they said &amp;quot;Whoa, thats an old printer.&amp;quot; For me to even troubleshoot it with them would cost $20 and if it is anything other then user error, like the printer is actually broken, it is not serviceable. They pretty much wanted nothing to do with it. I think a firmware re-flash would be in order, but I cannot find the proper firmware for this revision. This is a revision A and all I could find is a revision B/C. - Lucas Goossen 01-12-2018&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(ASJ 1-14-2018) Lazily cleaned encoder strip, updated firmware, did hard-reset. When initializing, there is an ink error. Carriage is working, but further testing required. If made OS, this is replacement part CQ890-67105.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
Make sure that the printer is shutdown by pressing the power button by the touch screen, or the head won&#039;t move into the park position, and keep the heads clean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not change print cartridges unless the printer prompts you to do so, and you have permission from the area host. For print quality issues see the troubleshooting section below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This printer will not print without all the cartridges installed and containing some printable ink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
36&amp;quot; Wide format printer, non-archival.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Big Printer&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People using the printer should provide a donation of:&lt;br /&gt;
* $1 per square foot for full coverage color prints (photos/art)&lt;br /&gt;
* $0.25 per square foot for partial coverage prints (text/blue prints/etc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some donated media may be provided by the area host, and may be found next to the printer.  It is recommended that you provide your own media and that it should be designed for use in a HP designjet printer. Roll media can be up to 36&amp;quot; wide and must be on 2&amp;quot; core.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Example media:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000J3M5 Plain Paper]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F3G68 Semi-Gloss Photo Paper]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F3E9W Gloss Photo Paper]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Authorizations are [[Viral Authorizations|viral]] for this printer. Ask anyone who&#039;s already authorized to authorize you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Troubleshooting=&lt;br /&gt;
Some common issues that come up with this printer:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;1. There are dark bands of ink in the image&#039;&#039;&#039; - This is most likely due to a misaligned print head and can be caused when the cartridges are replaced&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Solution: Align the print head&#039;&#039;&#039; - On the printer touch screen press the wrench icon (upper right) &amp;gt; Printer Maintenance &amp;gt; Align print head. A patterend page will print and the printer will sense deviations in the print pattern and adjust the head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;2. There are bands of white or partially colored areas&#039;&#039;&#039; - This is most likely due to the printer being left on for an extended period of time or the printer being turned off without being shutdown properly, by pressing the top power button.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Solution: Clean the print head&#039;&#039;&#039; - On the printer touch screen press the wrench icon (upper right) &amp;gt; Printer Maintenance &amp;gt; Clean print head. A few gradient bars will print where banding will be visible. There are 3 stages of print head cleaning (the printer will prompt you to go through the stages) printing a page in each stage, that can unclog jets most of the time. If after the 3 stages jets are still clogged, talk to the area host; the print head may need to be serviced or replaced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;3. The print job isn&#039;t sending / I get errors on the printer touch screen&#039;&#039;&#039; - Symptoms vary&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Solution: Make sure you&#039;ve selected the right driver and settings for your application&#039;&#039;&#039; - Using the HPGL driver for this printer is highly recommended, see driver installation notes below. Make sure that you&#039;re also setting the right paper size, paper type, and print quality. The printer does a bunch of checking automatically and gets pissy when what you&#039;re sending from the computer doesn&#039;t match what is set in the printer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Setting up the printer on your computer =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Artastic computer is a good place to start to print from, but you may want to print from your own computer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Good Way ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;This method is recommended - when printing make sure to select the driver ending with HPGL.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to install the driver is go to [http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=11176931&amp;amp;lang=en&amp;amp;cc=us HP&#039;s website] and install the driver meant for you operating system. Under the section &amp;quot;Driver - Product installation software&amp;quot; you should find a download called something to the effect of &amp;quot;HP Designjet T520 printer series HP-GL/2 and &#039;&#039;&#039;HP RTL Full Feature Solution Installer&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. This is a lengthier installation but gives you much greater control over print parameters, including selecting custom paper sizes. You have to create and save a custom paper size to get a particular paper dimension in the print dialog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For Windows 10 driver go [http://www.hpprinterdriver.net/hp-designjet-t520-36-in-eprinter-driver/ here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Fast Way ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;This driver seems to have compatibility issues and is not recommeded.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can search for devices and install the device via your OS. The dialog that this displays is very clean any easy to use but is lacking in control, in particular specifying custom paper sizes. This particular print dialog only shows the page type and name, so you may want to go find out what [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size the actual dimensions of each paper size] are to save a little time.&lt;br /&gt;
