We're aiming for a per-unit cost of blank t-shirts between $5 and $7.50, and approximately $10 total on vinyl. This will allow for creating between 32 and 48 shirts. The intention is to sell them at a price of $20 to non-members.

Luna Turing: added treasurers report

==Consensus Agenda==
* Pay for Xero, our accounting software ($135/year at the current monthly rate). Reconsider if pricing is increased above $200/year. (Passed by consensus)
* Potentially act as [https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/running-nonprofit/administration-and-financial-management/fiscal-sponsorship-nonprofits fiscal sponsor] for Maker Faire Coney Island (board approval of final agreement required). A temporary discord channel is being created to contain discussion related to this. Some initial questions and concerns include:
** Is their insurance sufficient?
** Do they raise enough for the risk/ paperwork to be worth it?
** Will they provide us with exposure?

== New Business ==
* Discussion regarding voting on extending a temporary ban on a recently temporarily banned party. We decided to not put an extended ban to a vote and allow the temporary ban to expire. Furthermore, as this member was a minor, there was related discussion of ammending our policy on minors. We are not making any changes at the moment as our policy has not been an issue in other circumstances
* We were recently robbed. We believe that this occurred the night of the 23rd to 24th. A non-comprehensive list of items stolen or believed to be stolen:
** Donation box (containing roughly $30 of cash)
** The space iMac
** Jay's iPad
** Jay's PS4
** Some amount of Apple branded usb-c laptop chargers
* Some possible steps to mitigate future thefts:
** Adding an exterior camera to observe the windows (we have reason to believe the thief entered through our windows)
** Extending buffer for video recordings
** Creating repository for serial numbers of valuable items (Nick volunteers to manage creating this)
** Internal cameras to be considered at a future date
** Better posted closing procedures
** Adding a stopper to top of the laser cutter exhaust window
** Submitting a police report (Jay is working on this currently)

* Stephen will be taken a Costco trip to buy toiletries and such!

Each member must pay, within the time and on the conditions set by the board, the dues, fees, and assessments in amounts to be fixed from time to time by the members.

A member may apply for and the board may agree to a different individual payment schedule.

Reduced dues may be set for members who are students, unemployed, or underemployed, or similarly situated. The criteria for reduced dues are set by a decision of the members. The board decides whether a member is eligible for reduced dues. The board's decision may be overruled by a decision of the members.

The members may decide to levy fees and assessments in connection with the use of the corporation's facilities, equipment or services, to set reduced rates for certain groups, and to specify terms of payment and use, or to authorize the board to do so within guidelines adopted by the members.

=== Section 5: Rights and Responsibilities ===

Members in good standing have an equal right to attend and vote at meetings, run in corporate elections, and to use the corporation's facilities and equipment, subject to reasonable rules and limits adopted by the members or the board.

=== Section 6: Members in Good Standing ===

Members who have paid the required dues, fees, and assessments in accordance with these by-laws and who are not suspended shall be members in good standing, and entitled to vote.

Members who are more than 10 days late on payment of dues, fees or assessments are automatically suspended and may not vote. The outcome and effect of votes shall not be questioned based on the vote of a member who was suspended, but whose membership was not terminated.

=== Section 7: Termination of Membership ===

Membership shall terminate on occurrence of any of the following events:

# Resignation of the member;
# The member's failure to pay dues, fees, or assessments within 30 days after they are due;
# Any event that renders the member ineligible for membership, or failure to satisfy membership qualifications; or
# Termination of membership on the good faith determination by the board or the members, or a committee or person authorized by the board or the members to make such a determination, that the member has failed in a material and serious degree to observe the rules of conduct of the corporation, or has engaged in conduct materially and seriously prejudicial to the corporation's purposes and interests, or for serious safety violations.

These include:

* Failure to properly turn off power tools or other machinery when done using it and/or leaving the space
* Failure shut down tools when finished

* Any other behaviors which could lead to a significant safety risk for the user or others, or potentially damage equipment or the space.

Termination of membership by resignation is effective when the period covered by dues already paid expires. A member may also resign with immediate effect, but is not entitled to a refund of dues already paid.

Termination of membership due to failure to pay dues, fees or assessments is self-executing and automatically effective

(i) 60 days after the period for which dues have been paid has lapsed, for failure to pay dues or

(ii) 30 days after fees or assessments are due, for failure to pay fees or assessments,

or when otherwise effected by the board or a decision of the members.

A former member must make immediate arrangements to resolve the practical implications of termination, according to procedures adopted by the members or the board. No act, omission or failure by the corporation may prejudice the requirement of former members to fulfill their obligations under the corporation's Bylaws or rules.

Termination for any other reason is effected by a decision of the members following a determination and recommendation by the board or the members, or a committee or person authorized by the board or the members to consider the matter.

The termination of the membership of a member who is an officer or director of the corporation shall simultaneously result in the removal of that member from the offices and/or directorship he or she holds, and the board shall take care that an election is held for the vacant office or directorship.

Each member is solely responsible for maintaining his or her membership in good standing, including observing these by-laws and the rules of the corporation and the payment of dues, fees, or assessments. No act, omission or failure by the corporation shall prejudice the power of the corporation to terminate membership because of a member's failure to pay dues, fees, or assessments. No act, omission or failure by the corporation shall prejudice the power of the corporation to terminate membership for any other reason, except by a decision of the members.

The members may adopt abbreviated procedures for the admission of former members whose membership was terminated by resignation or for failure to pay dues, fees or assessments.

The procedure for online votes continues to apply only to matters which are not required to be decided by a vote at a meeting of members by the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law.

=== Section 7: Notice of Meetings ===

The board is responsible for the day-to-day management of the corporation, subject to guidelines and rules set by the Certificate of Incorporation, these by-laws and decisions of the members.

The board is responsible for holding elections at a regular meeting no later than 60 days after a vacancy occurs on the board.

Except for elections, amendments, and other rights of the members as established in the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, provisions in these by-laws for decisions made by the members shall not prejudice the board's rights and responsibilities under law, but officers and directors shall agree on election that it is the policy of the corporation that major decisions shall be made by vote of the members and that the board must respect those decisions and must, barring unusual and exceptional circumstances, take care that they are carried out.

=== Section 2: Officers ===

The corporation shall have a president, a secretary and a treasurer, who shall be the officers of the corporation.

The president chairs the board of directors, coordinates the activities of the board and the corporation, serves as a first point of contact for prospective and current members, communicates with members, represents the corporation externally, and serves other duties as a president as required by law or custom.

The president chairs meetings of the members or designates another member to do so.

The treasurer has general responsibility for the corporation's finances and accounts, and serves other duties as a treasurer as required by law or custom.

The secretary has general responsibility for the corporation's administrative matters, keeps the corporation's records, and serves other duties as a secretary as required by law or custom.

No individual may hold more than one office of the corporation, and no officer may also be an at-large director.

The board shall, within the limits set by these by-laws and by law and custom, establish the duties of the officers and directors.

=== Section 3: Elections of Directors ===

Elections of the board are held once a year at the annual meeting, or at a regular meeting to fill vacancies. Elections are held by secret ballot.

The board may set a deadline for declaring candidacy of not more than 7 days before the meeting, but if no such deadline has been set, candidacy for any office or directorship must be declared before the first election at a meeting.

Directors are elected according to the vote counting procedure set forth in The Scottish Local Government Elections Order 2007 (Scottish Statutory Instruments 2007 No. 42), to be known as "Scottish STV". Absent clear and convincing evidence to the contrary, the output of the OpenSTV software in Scottish STV mode shall be considered the result of the election, provided that any candidate may demand re-entry of election ballots into the software immediately after the results are announced, or a hand recount immediately after the results from re-entered ballots are announced.

Ballots shall be cast and counted as if electing as many directors as there are vacancies. If there are no more candidates than there are vacancies, then every candidate receiving at least two votes (in any preference order) is elected. Provided, that if there are no more candidates than there are vacancies, the members may decide to elected all the candidates by acclamation.

Ballots that include a vote for a candidate who is withdrawn because he or she was previously elected at the same meeting for another office or directorship, or that indicate more than the allowed number of choices, or do not specify any choices, or do not rank choices, or that have markings indicating the identity of the elector, are invalid and not counted.

If the number of directors resulting from an election is smaller than the minimum, the board shall hold another election for all the vacancies at one of the two following monthly meetings. If the resulting number of directors is at least the minimum, but smaller than the maximum, the board or the members may decide to hold an election at any monthly meeting.

The term of an elected officer or director ends upon the next election for that office or directorship at a meeting of members, or on resignation. An officer or director may resign with immediate effect, or effective on a specified date, or on the election of a successor. If an election at a meeting of members is not held due to the lack of a quorum, the board must call a new meeting as soon as practical.

=== Section 4: Elections of Officers ===

The officers of the corporation shall be elected by the board at its organizing meeting after an election, and whenever a vacancy occurs, using the following procedure, to be known as "London mayoral STV":

Elections are held in the following order: president, treasurer, secretary. A candidate who wins an election is withdrawn from subsequent elections for other offices.

Electors shall indicate their first and second choices on their ballot. Ballots are counted in two rounds. In the first round, only first choices are counted. A candidate who wins a majority of first-choice votes wins. If no candidate wins a majority of first-choice votes, the two candidates with the highest number of first-choice votes proceed to the secound round, and other candidates are eliminated. If two or more candidates are tied with the highest first-choice votes, those candidates proceed to the second round, and all other candidates are eliminated. If two or more candidates are tied in second place, only one second-place candidate chosen by lot proceeds to the second round, and other candidates are eliminated.

In the second round, the votes of ballots that indicated an eliminated candidate as first choice are redistributed to the second choice candidate indicated on the ballot. Ballots where the second choice vote is for a candidate who has been eliminated, and ballots that do not indicate a second choice, are discarded. The candidate who now has the highest number of votes wins the election. If more than one candidate has the highest number of votes in the second round, the election is decided by lot among those candidates.

Ballots that include a vote for a candidate who is withdrawn because he or she was previously elected at the same meeting for another office or directorship, or that indicate more than the allowed number of choices, or do not specify any choices, or do not rank choices, or that have markings indicating the identity of the elector, are invalid and not counted.

=== Section 5: Compensation and Indemnification ===

No officer or director shall receive compensation from the corporation, but may be reimbursed for expenses authorized by and incurred on behalf of the corporation according to the same rules and practices that apply to reimbursement to any other member, and the corporation may provide liability insurance for officers and directors.

To the extent permitted by law, the corporation indemnifies any officer, director or former officer or director made, or threatened to be
made, a party to an action or proceeding other than one by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, whether
civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other
corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation served in
any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact
that he, his testator or intestate, was a director or officer of the
corporation, or served such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any
capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily
incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal
therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose
which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for
any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of
the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

An annual meeting shall be held in accordance with [http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/LAWSSEAF.cgi?QUERYTYPE=LAWS+&QUERYDATA=$$NPC603$$@TXNPC0603+&LIST=LAW+&BROWSER=BROWSER+&TOKEN=12585841+&TARGET=VIEW Section 603] of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law.
</blockquote>
And replaced with:
<blockquote>
The board shall call the annual meeting of members in accordance with Sections 603 and 605 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. The meeting shall be held in November or December.
</blockquote>

Article 3, Section 7 was added: <blockquote><p>It is the policy of the corporation that an email sent to the corporation's member email list as well as a member's personal email address, if one is on file with the corporation, shall constitute personal notice of meetings to that member within the meaning of Section 605 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, and that personal notice is the only means of notice that is ordinarily employed.</p><p>A member may opt out of personal notice and instead receive notice of meetings by first or second class mail. A member who wishes to opt out shall notify the corporation of the member's mailing address and any change of address. The opt out shall be effective for meetings held 20 days or later after the corporation has received the member's notice.</p></blockquote>

The following was added after the first paragraph in Article 3, Section 6: <blockquote>For the purposes only of unanimous decisions on matters that were announced with sufficient notice in the call to the meeting, including decisions made with no opposing votes, regular meetings held at the corporation's premises shall be considered quorate notwithstanding the number of members present.</blockquote>

The following was added to Article 2, Section 7: <blockquote>Each member is solely responsible for maintaining his or her membership in good standing, including observing these by-laws and the rules of the corporation and the payment of dues, fees, or assessments. No act or omission by the corporation shall prejudice the power of the corporation to terminate membership because of a member's failure to pay dues, fees, or assessments. No act or omission by the corporation shall prejudice the power of the corporation to terminate membership for any other reason, except by a decision of the members.</blockquote>

Article 4, Section 1, was amended by changing the first instance of "one additional at-large director" to "two additional at-large directors". Article 4, Section 3 is amended by changing "at-large director" in the third paragraph to "at-large directors", and appending after the third paragraph: <blockquote><p>At-large directors are elected according to the vote counting procedure set forth in The Scottish Local Government Elections Order 2007 (Scottish Statutory Instruments 2007 No. 42), to be known as "Scottish STV". Absent clear and convincing evidence to the contrary, the output of the OpenSTV software in Scottish STV mode shall be considered the result of the election, provided that any candidate may demand re-entry of election ballots into the software immediately after the results are announced, or a hand recount immediately after the results from re-entered ballots are announced.</p><p>The following procedure, to be known as "London mayoral STV", is used for electing the officers of the corporation:</p></blockquote>

K40 Laser Cutter

2024-02-03T01:13:13Z

Luna Turing:

[[File:K40_lasercutter.jpg|thumb|Image of the K40 laser cutter]]
The K40 Laser cutter is located towards the back of the space & connected to a monitor & raspberry pi.

== Specficiations ==
* 40W Co2 Laser
* 18mm Lens (w/12mm adapter)

== Safety ==

=== The Laser Cutter is Not a Workbench, Public computer, or Shelf ===
The linear bearing surface is actually quite fragile and easily damaged by denting or abrasion. Check before using whether your material is safe. Do not laze metal object, the reflections will damage the lazor. Do not laser any material that contains chlorine (e.g. PVC, Vinyl)

=== Safety Glasses On ===
The window on the lazor is perspex and does not block UV radiation. The laser light is not visible and can cause eye damage if you do not wear appropriate goggles or cover the window.

=== Complete Shutoff ===
Towards the back-right end of the laser cutter there's a power extension cord that shuts off all laser-cutter-related devices.

=== Interlocks ===
The machine will shut off the laser automatically if either the lid is opened or the coolant flow is interrupted. Be sure the lid is closed and coolant is running before cutting.

=== Fume Extractor ===
The fume extraction system is built using a 120mm PC fan and a 3D printed shroud. To turn on the fan, locate the power supply attached to it, this should be near the vent at the window, and make sure the switch is in the position closest to the barrel jack.

=== Water Cooling System ===
The distilled water cooling loop should be running at all times the laser cutter is on or active, make sure the water is flowing into and out of the reservior.

== Using ==

=== Create SVG ===
[https://inkscape.org/ Inkscape] is installed by default, open it from the desktop or menu to prepare the SVG file. To set the dimensions of your file, go to the Document properties and change the size units to be centimeters, inches, or millimeters depending on how you want to measure your piece. Make sure your picture or design elements fill the entire artboard, otherwise the laser will cut too large or too small. Select export to Plain SVG to create the SVG file. The color of the lines and/or shapes in the SVG will determine the speed of the laser as it cuts and/or engraves the material. Multiple colors in the same file allows the software to cut, raster-engrave, or vector-engrave shapes without needing separate files for each type of operation.
* <code>hex #000000</code>(Black) will raster-engrave by going back and forth across an image, printing it out line by line, quickly. (Default 100mm/s)
* <code>hex #0000FF</code>(Blue) will vector-engrave, tracing the exact shape of the lines, slowly. (Default 20mm/s)
* <code>hex #FF0000</code>(Red) will cut, tracing the exact shape of the lines, extra-slowly. (Default 10mm/s)
There is a folder on the desktop containing existing SVGs.

=== Cut ===
# From the desktop, run the app <code>K40 Whisperer</code>, confirm with <code>Execute</code> if prompted.
# Import the SVG from the <code>File</code> menu item.
# Press the <code>Initialize Laser Cutter</code> button to calibrate into starting position, that top-right corner is the x0 & y0 of the laser.
# The arrows & step size field above them allow for moving the starting position along with the corresponding imported SVG into position.
# Flip the switch to on, press the leftmost red button to turn on the laser, and ensure that the lid is closed.
# Start the job by pressing one of 3 buttons on K40 whisperer. Raster engrave is used for engraving raster images such as pictures. Vector engrave is for engraving line-based work such as geometric shapes. Vector cut is also a line-based operation but as the name suggests, sets the K40 up to cut.
# When done, flip the red switch again to turn off the laser cutter (important).

Luna Turing: Removed bit about static local ip until that is resoved

[[File:lulzbot-taz-6.jpg|thumb|Pictured on 08-10-2023 in [[Rack Manhattan]].]]

The Lulzbot Taz 6 was generously donated by Marceline via [https://technocopia.org/ Technocopia]

This is a [https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/ prusaslicer] config for the taz6: [[File:PrusaSlicer_config_bundle_lulzbot-taz6-v2.ini.zip]]

== Maintenance Advice ==
=== Extruder Head Oddity ===
The whole assembly of the extrusion head is very weird and unorthodox, so sometimes when it gets clogged, the clog exists somewhere up the chain even if the hotend is clean. The hotend itself is not one we have in stock so try not to pull it out, it is almost certainly not the problem.
=== GCode Oddity ===
Running new gcode sometimes results in an odd leveling failure which cancels the job, this takes several minutes to occur so make sure to stick around for leveling to finish before leaving the job to run. In this screenshot of the octoprint temperature graph, the leveling fails at the point marked in yellow. The job was the manually restarted at the next start point, successful printing can be confirmed when the temperature jumps to ~200°C, marked in green.

Good Local Food

2023-11-12T00:14:55Z

Luna Turing: RIP Park Italian Gourmet

Often at the space you need to eat food, and sometimes you don't want to get taco bell for the fourth time this week; here's a few good spots we like from roughly a 5-minute walk that will not completely drain your wallet.

== Pizza ==
There is one good pizza place within a 5-minute walking distance of Hack Manhattan. It is found on the north edge of 40th in between Broadway & 7th, around the corner from Joe's. It is a real dollar slice, takes cash only, and looks like an actual hole in the wall. No other dollar or even 4-dollar slice in the area compares. Opens 9:30am, closes 4:30-5am.

== Bodegas / Salad Bars ==
; In & Out Deli Grocery
: Classic hole-in-the-wall bodega
: 24h
; Byrant Market
: Good salad bar, bad coffee, excellent deli
: 24h, but salad bar is only open around 9am-5pm
; Toast Café Brasserie
: Somewhat fancy bodega with unreasonably priced snacks and reasonably priced deli & salad bar.
: 24h

== Sandwiches / Burgers ==
; PLNT Burger Bryant Park
: Vegan / gluten - free burgers at a regular lunch price, vegan chili bowls, etc.
: 11am-11pm

== Legitimate Salvage ==
Some places will waste still-good food! What an atrocity!
; W CAFE on 5th
: Mostly pizza, but usually fresh!
: Dumps trash out around 8:30-9:30pm
; Dunkin down the street
: Sometimes, towards 9:30, when they're throwing out trash, if you walk in they'll just give you a tray of donuts and they're too high to care

K40 Laser Cutter

2023-11-11T18:21:07Z

Luna Turing: wording

[[File:K40_lasercutter.jpg|thumb|Image of the K40 laser cutter]]
The K40 Laser cutter is located towards the back of the space & connected to a monitor & raspberry pi.

== Safety ==

=== The Laser Cutter is Not a Workbench, Public computer, or Shelf ===
The linear bearing surface is actually quite fragile and easily damaged by denting or abrasion. Check before using whether your material is safe. Do not laze metal object, the reflections will damage the lazor. Do not laser any material that contains chlorine (e.g. PVC, Vinyl)

=== Safety Glasses On ===
The window on the lazor is perspex and does not block UV radiation. The laser light is not visible and can cause eye damage if you do not wear appropriate goggles or cover the window.

=== Complete Shutoff ===
Towards the back-right end of the laser cutter there's a power extension cord that shuts off all laser-cutter-related devices.

=== Fume Extractor ===
The fume extraction system is built using a 120mm PC fan and a 3D printed shroud. To turn on the fan, locate the power supply attached to it, this should be near the vent at the window, and make sure the switch is in the position closest to the barrel jack.

=== Water Cooling System ===
The distilled water cooling loop should be running at all times the laser cutter is on or active, make sure the water is flowing into and out of the reservior.

== Using ==

=== Create SVG ===
[https://inkscape.org/ Inkscape] is installed by default, open it from the desktop or menu to prepare the SVG file. The color of the lines and/or shapes in the SVG will determine the speed of the laser as it cuts and/or engraves the material. Multiple colors in the same file allows the software to cut, raster-engrave, or vector-engrave shapes without needing separate files for each type of operation.
* <code>hex #000000</code>(Black) will raster-engrave by going back and forth across an image, printing it out line by line, quickly. (Default 100mm/s)
* <code>hex #0000FF</code>(Blue) will vector-engrave, tracing the exact shape of the lines, slowly. (Default 20mm/s)
* <code>hex #FF0000</code>(Red) will cut, tracing the exact shape of the lines, extra-slowly. (Default 10mm/s)
There is a folder on the desktop containing existing SVGs.

=== Cut ===
# From the desktop, run the app <code>K40 Whisperer</code>, confirm with <code>Execute</code> if prompted.
# Import the SVG from the <code>File</code> menu item.
# Press the <code>Initialize Laser Cutter</code> button to calibrate into starting position, that top-right corner is the x0 & y0 of the laser.
# The arrows & step size field above them allow for moving the starting position along with the corresponding imported SVG into position.
# Flip the switch to on, press the leftmost red button to turn on the laser, and ensure that the lid is closed.
# Start the job with each differently colored button for each type of operation(read: color of line) in use for that file.
# When done, flip the red switch again to turn off the laser cutter (important).
