<\/a><\/p>\nDaniel in the Business Office is deftly learning how to use the vinyl cutter. He recently created lettering for office hours that now appears on the cashier window. It looks professional! The trick to applying the lettering is using \u201ctransfer tape\u201d to move the sticky letters from the vinyl backing to the tape, then from the tape to the window. It makes aligning the words and letters a cinch.<\/p>\n
The highlight of the week was a trip to the Lorrain Community College \u201cFab Lab\u201d in Elyria, Ohio. Similar to think[box] at Case Western Reserve, the Fab Lab is a collection of equipment and resources for people to \u201cmake\u201d just about anything. It is open to the public for free use two days a week. Pictures explain more than words, so take a look at our adventure there!<\/p>\n The Fab Lab was a busy place with the laser engravers being used \u2018round the clock. Most everyone was talkative and helpful, eager to show us their projects and how they were made. While the trip home was late, dark, and wet, but well worth it. We hope to come back to the Fab Lab next year with projects to make.<\/p>\n See how unique, custom 3D printed prosthetics allow Derby the dog to run for the first time.

Betty Rogge has graciously offered to record instructional videos for the equipment use in the lab, starting with the 3D printers. Morgan will write scripts and Dusty will star in the episodes. I\u2019ve been told that the videos will have a Crocodile Dundee flair to them; so they should be quite interesting. We should have our first video available in a few weeks! Dusty and Kenny have improved the design of the portable 3D printer\u2019s spool holder as the existing one was falling apart.
