Allow use of the lasercutter even if you have been trained elsewhere without taking our training. How training is run if for the benefit of the machine and the community, not the individual wanting training, as we have a larger duty of care to the membership. | Allow use of the lasercutter even if you have been trained elsewhere without taking our training.

Check the [[Equipment/LaserCutter]] wiki page, type ?laser in [[IRC]] or look at the machine to see if it's marked as Out of Order. | Check the [[Equipment/LaserCutter]] wiki page, type ?laser in [[IRC]] or look at the machine to see if it's marked as Out of Order. | ||
If it is out of order, [[User:Solexious|Solexious]] is the person who generally maintains the laser cutter but weirdly he has a life and subsequently often does other things than fix the cutter, there are also lead times involved in getting replacement parts (often of several weeks). When the laser cutter is working the list will be told, until that point just be patient. | If it is out of order, [[User:Solexious|Solexious]] is the person who generally maintains the laser cutter but weirdly he has a life and subsequently often does other things than fix the cutter, there are also lead times involved in getting replacement parts (often of several weeks).

Maybe, check the [[Equipment/LaserCutter| wiki page]]. If it's not listed find out if it contains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine chlorine]. Materials of an unknown origin should be [[Equipment/LaserCutter#Chlorine_Testing|tested for chlorine.]]. This is to prevent damage to the optics. | Maybe, check the [[Equipment/LaserCutter| wiki page]]. If it's not listed find out if it contains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine chlorine].

# Please, please, please do at least a little bit of research before asking; present this in your email so we know you're serious. If a member can answer you question or, from 30s on google, ask a question you can't answer (to do with the project) you need to do more research. At least be able to answer the 6 W's: Who, What, Where, Why, When & How (often 'how much'). | # Please, please, please do at least a little bit of research before asking; present this in your email so we know you're serious.

# Finally this sort of question will always be better received if you've made an effort to get to know a few people before hand, either by logging into the [[IRC]] channel or coming to an [[Weekly_meetings|open evening]] and had a chat with them, you'll probably get better advice and support this way as well (mainly because you'll get pointed at experts). | # Finally this sort of question will always be better received if you've made an effort to get to know a few people before hand, either by logging into the [[IRC]] channel or coming to an [[Weekly_meetings|open evening]] and had a chat with them, you'll probably get better advice and support this way as well (mainly because you'll get pointed at experts). | ||
==I have [large item X] can I store it at the space?== | |||
OK, this isn't an FAQ but it should be, it even has it's own [[Guides/Bringing_items_to_the_space| page]] and there is no default answer. The reason we request that you ask this is that the space is already very full (both with tools and projects). Large items eat into our already limited space and any large items that you want to bring in MUST be discussed on the mailing list. | |||
'''Anything''' that you want to store at the space which wont fit in your box must be OK'd on the list first. | |||
