Maintenance Day Spring 2025

Intro

We have a maintenance day planned for 15th of March 2025. This is a chance to give some of our machines some TLC.

Todo List

Wood hand tools

• Sharpen chisels

Metal Lathe

• Chuck/spindle is slightly out of alignment. Needs tramming
• Gear box sounds like someone dropped a spanner in there.
• Carriage lock doesn't work
• Align tailstock
• Lubricate (and not with beer) - use ISO68, we have some in the lube cupboard
• check everything around the cooling water/cooling mist

Abene Mill

• Z axis DRO drifts when moving table
• Install new X axis DRO scale if it hasn't already been

Metal chop saw

• Use the megger to check that there is no leakage to earth or between the coils

Table Saw

• Aux table and outfeed table need some TLC

Fan

• Reinstall timer / auto-off box

Bambu Printer

• The silica pellets in the ams of the Bambuprinter are cleaned, but it sucks to do so and can easily damage the machine. A small amount of new pellets have been added to keep the dehumidifier going, but we need to find an alternative.
• There is not a good space to store the empty filament rolls. I'd suggest making a space where we can store at least 8 empty rolls, with clear labeling.
• MThe poop chute was not attached with tape anymore, which made a small mess at the back. Maybe we could magnetize the chute?

Power tools with a 220v cord

• check for broken plugs and power cords
• possibly Meggen

Space door

• see how we can improve that / get a new spring from Hartwijk and put it in the lock box
