Attendees: BlakeS, NickB, FletcherB, Beau
BlakeS: Trialing Saturday mornings
Possible rearrangement of machines for combined ducting and chiller stacking
We'd still like red dot beam combiners, which would render getting a tube that has a built in aiming beam moot
- Would we like one?
  - Nick, Blake: yes; Fletcher: no
    - Fletcher: Recommends crowdfunding it at https://finance.artifactory.org.au/
      - TODO
KH7050 Kellogg/Middle
- Fixed: Beau reported: Z pulley grub screw? was loose, came off, bed was not moving vertically
LG500 Little Red (out-of-order)
- Replacement tube: arrived, test fired: success
- Requires air extraction
LC1290 Big Red
- Vacuum internals
- Level bed (was out by 5mm, now within 1mm)
- Test fire setting was “stuck on”

  - Set to ~99980ms
    - Reset to 300ms MENU → LASER SET → LASER TIME
    - Panel setting not saved/restored by PC “download configuration”?
- Empty compressor tanks (little content: recently done), water trap
