NB4: Adjust tool usage fees and limits (Bo Wernick)

Issue: There has been a lot of discussion regarding fees and if they the tool usage is properly priced

Solution: Evaluate the tool costs and usage and present the results to the membership. Determine a new pricing model based on factors such as:

• We want to cover costs on the tools with more expensive consumables
• We want to reduce the potential for super-users to overuse the tools
• We want to keep costs low to reduce the barriers for members to try new tools
• We want to reduce the complexity of using the space in terms of logging time and calculating fees
• We want to remove any small fees since they have an overhead cost for admin and processing

We want to stay true to the member-model organization in which dues cover the majority of incidental costs
