<h1>MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2119699" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-768x576.jpg 768w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-400x300.jpg 400w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1.jpg 835w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><strong><a id="Generosity" name="Generosity"></a>Generosity and Gratitude. </strong><span style="font-family: 'open sans', 'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">These traits play well together and are found in abundance at Nova Labs. The Shops and Orange Bay overflowed in December with diverse gift projects underway by makers. The banner photo in this newsletter features a hand-crafted, customized cutting board that is finding its way to into the hands of valued teachers and under many trees, thanks to one of the shop’s popular classes.</span></p>
<p>In the week before Christmas, as the Board convened for the year’s final work session, we were surprised and deeply touched to receive a gift of appreciation from the maker community. The cleverly constructed, laser cut box filled with chocolates cast with the Nova Labs gear is truly special for the thoughtfulness and collaboration that went into the creation. Special thanks to Steve Fritzinger for leading this effort; the gift is warmly received.</p>
<p>We are grateful for the generosity that make Nova Labs possible. The makerspace is a hub of activity thanks to the many skilled volunteers running the front desk, open hours, shops, classes, technology, membership, marketing, facilities, events, entrepreneurship program, and more.</p>
<p>Happy New Year!</p>

<h1 style="text-align: left;">MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT</h1>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-2119680" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/image-1-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="431" height="250" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Orange Bay was recently awash in the fragrance and beauty of fresh cut flowers. This welcome addition was brought on by an unwelcome event – the sudden closing of the doors of TechShop earlier that week. Being neighborly, Nova Labs opened our doors to the displaced makers – including Melanie Cameron of <a href="https://mysticalroseflowers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mystical Rose Flowers</a>, who was in the midst of arranging flowers for a wedding that weekend. Thanks to our many volunteers who graciously stepped up to lend a hand however needed.</p>
<p>In the days immediately following the closure of TechShop, we posted an <a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/2017/11/17/an-open-letter-to-the-techshop-community/">open letter to the TechShop members and TechShop-powered businesses</a> to offer support and help from the Nova Labs community. We created <a href="https://tinyurl.com/novalabs2017">a survey</a> for TechShop members to gather interests and needs and are matching Tech Shop makers with Nova Labs key members with the necessary skills. It is working so well that we plan to incorporate what we are learning for everyone who expresses interest in joining Nova Labs. We are providing support to TechShop members while also preserving what makes Nova Labs a unique, volunteer-driven community: our culture.</p>
<p>We are fortunate to have recently added wonderful talent to the Board of Directors and hired a Makerspace Coordinator, ending the year on a strong note. As we close out 2017, Nova Labs celebrates six wonderful years of making. We look forward to the New Year!</p>
<p><strong>HAPPY HOLIDAYS! </strong></p>

<p>The 3D Printer Build Group meets every Monday evening from 7-9pm to assemble kits.</p>
<p>Kits will cost $450 for Nova Labs members, $500 otherwise, and may be purchased at any time, but will not be ready for pickup until the 9th. There will probably be kits available for some time after the assembly, but they are sold on a first-come first-serve basis. If you have any questions feel free to email Paul Chase – <em>paenian at gmail dot com</em> – or come to any of the 3d Printer Build Nights, every Monday evening from 7-9pm.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2119668" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="438" srcset="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing-768x576.jpg 768w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing-400x300.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px" /></a></p>
<p>If you’re interested in joining the build group you can email Paul Chase: <em>paenian at the gmail dot com</em></p>
<hr />
<p>The printer we’re building is the Nova I3, which is a high-end printer for a mid-range price.<br />

<p>The frames and 3d printed components are made right at Nova Labs; we’re also looking for volunteers to cut frames and print parts.</p>
<h2>Laser Cutting</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/laser_cutting.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2119671" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/laser_cutting-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="438" srcset="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/laser_cutting-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/laser_cutting-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/laser_cutting-768x576.jpg 768w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/laser_cutting-400x300.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px" /></a>If you’re trained on the laser I could especially use help cutting – each kit comes from a single sheet of MDF, and takes ~40 minutes to cut. After cutting, the parts are stored in our boxes waiting for the kit assembly. Please contact Paul Chase, <em>paenian at gmail dot com</em> if you can spare some laser babysitting time 🙂</p>
<h2>3D Printing</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing_parts.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2119667" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing_parts-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="438" srcset="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing_parts-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing_parts-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing_parts-768x576.jpg 768w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/printing_parts-400x300.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px" /></a></p>
<p>All the parts are printed by volunteers; they’re up on my Github page: <a href="https://github.com/paenian/i3_parts/tree/master/bg11">https://github.com/paenian/i3_parts/tree/master/bg11</a></p>
<p>The full_plate.stl is everything needed for a printer, about 12 hour print on a BG machine. The other three plates combine to make the same parts if you have a smaller machine. Parts must be printed in (recommended) PETG or ABS; color is not important. Again, please contact Paul Chase, <em>paenian at gmail dot com</em> if you’d like to print a set or two :-)</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pillow.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2119566" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pillow.png" alt="Applique pillow" width="807" height="454" srcset="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pillow.png 807w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pillow-300x169.png 300w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pillow-500x281.png 500w" sizes="(max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px" /></a>The embroidery machine isn’t just for embroidery. Suzanne and I made these fun pillows using <strong>appliqué</strong>. Appliqué is the sewing of fabric onto larger piece of fabric to create pictures. The only thread used in this example is black. All the colors you see are pieces of fleece cut on the laser cutter and then sewn into place. It’s like painting with cloth!!!</p>
<p>This was very easy to do with the embroidery software we have at Nova Labs; <a href="https://www.wilcom.com/en-us/hatch.aspx">Hatch from Wilcom</a>. Shapes are imported or created and the converted to appliqué. This not only automatically creates the stitches to hold it in place but also creates stitch outlines for placing your pieces of fabric. You can then print out a template for cutting out your fabric “parts” or print them to PDF so you can convert them to DXF for laser cutting. I was able to cut out the eye, iris, and mouth for twenty of these pillow guys in less than 15 minutes including setup.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMAG0323.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2119565" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMAG0323-300x169.jpg" alt="A bunch of pillows" width="300" height="169" srcset="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMAG0323-300x169.jpg 300w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMAG0323-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMAG0323-500x281.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>You could easily make all sorts of projects using this technique. From potholders to stuffed animal friends.</p>
<p>I will give you an overview of instructions for doing this below, but remember you need to be signed off on the embroidery machine (and laser cutter if you plan on using it to cut your fabric) in order to sew these at Nova Labs. Hatch software is installed on all the machine in the CAD lab and you are more than welcome to use it but I would strongly encourage you to take the class. It is easy to use but can be daunting at first, especially if you are a first timer, as there are many specialized tools and settings.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/applique.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2119562" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/applique.png" alt="Digitize Applique" width="293" height="213" /></a>Suzanne created the initial design in Adobe Illustrator but you can use anything including Inkscape or CorelDraw (in fact if you happen to have CorelDraw X6 it integrates directly into Hatch). I had her size it to the exact dimensions she wanted and then saved it as a PNG. You then import the PNG into Hatch for digitizing. Using the Appliqué toolbox from Hatch’s left side menu. Digitize your shapes and then use the Object Properties toolbox from the right side menu to select fabric type as well as the kind of stitches to be used. This is also where you can select whether or not you will be using pre-cut fabric, or if you intend to trim in place.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/objects.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2119563" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/objects-133x300.png" alt="Objects menu" width="133" height="300" srcset="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/objects-133x300.png 133w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/objects.png 357w" sizes="(max-width: 133px) 100vw, 133px" /></a>For my project I chose pre-cut. Once you are done with each piece, save and export to the desired embroidery file type. You can then print out the templates to PDF. The machines in the CAD lab have the “Microsoft Print to PDF” as one of the printer selections. Choose this and save the file to a known location.<br /> Import this into Inkscape or similar and save/convert it as a DXF in millimeters for importing into the laser software. If you are using Fleece, 400 speed 70 power works pretty well.</p>
<p>Hoop your fabric and stabilizer on the embroidery machine.</p>
<p>Load and run your embroidery file. The first stitch will be your placement. It will outline the location of where to place your pre-cut fabric pieces and then stop. Spray the piece with temporary fabric adhesive and place onto your fabric. Start the next part of the file which will tack and stitch your cover. Move on to each piece until complete.<br /> Let me know if you have questions or if you would like a class specific to this sort of project.</p>

We connected over a love of process and of embracing the work that comes with taking on complex challenges.</p>

We thank Tara for brightening up the space and getting us messy makers a bit more organized.</p>
<p>Nova Labs is winding up the search for directors and re-opening a search for staff.</p>
<p>In this issue, you will find links to a video story of the Launch 100 pitch event, a Manufacturing Day followup published by Armature, and a Nova Labs job posting. Please consider sharing to help grow Nova Labs.</p>

<h1>MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/LTE_img.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-2119494 size-full" src="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/LTE_img.jpg" alt="Youngborg" width="800" height="600" srcset="http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/LTE_img.jpg 800w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/LTE_img-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.nova-labs.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/LTE_img-400x300.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>We are thrilled to welcome Tara Youngborg, Nova Labs’ own Makerspace Coordinator. Tara is an artist and a maker, and comes to us highly recommended from Bowdoin College where she was a Visual Arts Technician. Tara is here to help our community grow. If you see her, please introduce yourself and make her feel welcome in our community. You can find Tara here on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights.</p>
<p>There are many people who brought us to this wonderful place. Jennyfer Peterson, last year, founded the Service and Hospitality team, to fill the gap in a volunteer capacity while we strengthened our revenue stream. The work done by this all volunteer team is critical in defining the Makerspace Coordinator role and providing a support team. Since January of this year, Suzanne Chanesman, <a href="http://www.beanedesign.com/" target="_blank">Bean Design</a> and Andrew Albosta, faithfully publish the newsletter. The August newsletter on the Nova Labs website attracted our finalists to this opportunity. Sam Aparicio shared his considerable recruiting and interviewing talents, to craft the winning profile that attracted the attention of suitable candidates and guide the interview process. Jim Girardi, while transitioning the role of treasurer also played an instrumental role on the hiring team, along with Jennyfer Peterson. Patrick Waters led the team to document Nova Labs policy, laying the necessary groundwork for hiring paid staff. Nine months ago, in establishing priorities, the Board prioritized defining policy as essential before the first hire. It is incredibly satisfying to reflect on the amazing contributions of so many talented members to bring us to this place.</p>
<p>We are well positioned for the work on the horizon. Sam Aparicio is leading the Nominating Committee team for the Board Positions opening up. In the coming months, the Board will work on crafting policy around how the Board operates. We will also develop a succession plan for the role of President. Taken together, along with policy put in place over the past year, the organization will be in a stronger position to build Nova Labs 3.0.</p>
<p>Please join us in welcoming Tara Youngborg to our team!</p>
<p>Thank you, </p>

<p> <strong>BOARD UPDATE</strong></p>
<p>The board is pleased to welcome our latest Key Members: Eric Link, Michele Tulley, John Youmans, and Ying Zhang.</p>
<p>The board also hired Tara Youngborg as Nova Labs’ first paid position, the Makerspace Coordinator. Please be sure to introduce yourself and welcome her to our community.</p>
<p>Accounting-wise, Nova Labs’ receivables are currently below $4K which means that fewer people owe dues, fees, etc. If you’re still having trouble with Stripe or another payment system, please contact Jim Girardi to help resolve the issue.</p>
<p>As there will be two open board positions (after Jim Sweeney’s term is over), the board commissioned a nominations committee to identify and vet possible board candidates. If you are interested in serving on the board, please contact the committee chair, Sam Aparicio.</p>
<p>Please feel free to reach out to the board members if you have any questions.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Curt Welch</strong></p>
<p>Hospitality and services would like to express rather obnoxious and loud praise for all the cool little important things Curt Welch has been doing round the labs.</p>
<p>If I listed everything, it’d take a while. There are a few people like Curt who help me with the small jobs. Hanging the white boards, relocating cabinets for rentals.</p>
<p>One of the key, but essential, projects Curt has tackled is creating hanging storage in the metal shop, and a locked outdoor tool cabinet- lots of people use it but not many people know that it is all thanks to Curt that we have these storage solutions!</p>

<p dir="ltr"> HAPPENINGS: <strong>2017 </strong><strong>Woodshop Roundup and Awards</strong></p>
<p>Patrick and the Woodshop Stewards would like to recognize the contributions of the following volunteers:</p>
<p><strong>Shop Volunteer:</strong> Larry R<br />Person who has made a great impact in shop over the course of the year</p>
<p><strong>Over-Sharer:</strong> Frank S<br />Person will share not only knowledge, but also show and tell projects during meetings</p>
<p><strong>Over-Engineer Engineer that Could:</strong> Will P& Zach B<br />This is for the most ridiculous project!</p>
<p><strong>Who Made That?: </strong>John S & Will P<br />This is based off the number of times a tour guide has to explain what the heck that is to visitors- this is certainly an award of ambition, not completion.</p>
<p><strong>Slacker of the Year:</strong> Curt W<br />This member contributes online in our Slack chat the most</p>
<p><strong>I Learned from You:</strong> Philip, Norm, Larry R. Frank S, Patrick W.<br />Acknowledgements of woodworkers that have taken on mentor roles for the Nova Labs woodworking community</p>
<p><strong>Volunteer Appreciations:</strong> Curt W, Adam G, Siobahn W<br />Nova Labs members have reached out and acknowledged these three volunteers for their work throughout the year, though they are not the only wonderful volunteers we have had in the wood shop this year!</p>

<p>UPDATE: <strong>Safety</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">At Nova-Labs, one of our main goals is to make this a environment that prioritizes safety. There are several parts to this effort:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Our safety policy</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="ltr">You can find it on the <a href="http://www.nova-labs.org/wiki/_media/policies/novalabs_safety_policy_manual_v.5-17-17.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>wiki</strong></a></p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Our safety committee</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="ltr">Which is meeting soon to review recent incidents and hot spots</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Each of you!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="ltr">If you see something unsafe, it is your responsibly to say something.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="ltr">As stated in our safety policy – every person in the shop is expected to use work-stop authority to intervene and stop activities until safety procedures are adhered to when they witness unsafe work practices.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Keeping the shop and space safe is one of the most important things we do as a community.</strong></p>

The regatta, hosted by the Reston Museum at Lake Anne, went from 2 PM to about 4 PM and had over twenty participating teams – three of which were from Nova Labs! One boat was built by a Nova Labs team and another built to represent the Maker Faire NoVa – both participated in the Navigator Class (adults and students). Another craft, called the “Tetraheboat” built by Paul Chase, competed in the Skipper Class (adults).</p>

<p>Teams were only allowed to use cardboard, duct and masking tape, wood glue, and water-based paints. The Nova Labs boat, which utilized advanced CAD design, a gratuitous amount of laser cutting, and an innumerable number of human-hours, was voted “Most Likely to Float” during the design contest.</p>

<p>Maker Faire NoVa’s boat embodied the spirit of teamwork, learning, and making. While Maker Faire’s boat did not make it far past the launch point, the craft turned out beautifully and got the word out about the fantastic Maker Faire NoVa. This team also won third place in the Navigator Class! Boat Maker Faire NoVa was crewed by: Shane, Jackson, and Dylan Smith.</p>

<p>Tetraheboat was constructed with no plan – just a humble experiment with nature’s favorite platonic solid. Tetraheboat initially did a flip in the water and then pressed on to survive the rough seas of Lake Anne for a full run of over seven minutes. Scandalously, endurance was not a metric for award. Tetraheboat was commanded by the now-infamous Paul Chase.</p>
<p>Overall, the contest was filled with impressive and creative designs, good sportsmanship, exciting races, and spectacular sinkings (best sinking won the coveted “Titanic” award)!</p>

The team was awarded an epic cardboard trophy which was also designed and built by the Nova Labs team – out of cardboard, no less.</p>
