Issue: Jim Waldron, the current steward for the Welding Shop, would like John Johnson to be named as co-steward of the Welding Shop. John met with Jim and demonstrated proficiency and skill in welding. Jim has also signed off John as an instructor for gas, MIG, and TIG welding workshops.

Motion: Move to appoint John Johnson as co-steward of the Welding Shop
Issue: As part of the Elegoo Jupiter purchase we received one free year of the Chitubox Pro slicer which we use for our resin printers. The one year period has expired and we can no longer use this version of the software.
Solution: Purchase a new one year license for Chitubox Pro for Teams/Groups. This will allow installation on up to five computers. Maximum cost is $299/year, but it is currently (as of 11/21/2023) on sale at 50% off.
Relevance to Tax Exempt Status: None
Motion: Move to allocate $160 for purchase of Chitubox Pro license

Lots of help needed to finish transitioning Leesburg space (with new laser in place)

From Jonathan on behalf of Dave Painter:
Issue: The Anycubic Photon Mono X resin printer at Leesburg broke earlier this year. Attempts have been made to fix it but have not been successful. This is our mid-sized 3D resin printer with a build volume between that of the Mars 3 Pro and the Jupiter and was used frequently before it failed. We now have a gap in capabilities for resin printing
Solution: Purchase an Elegoo Saturn 3 12K resin printer. This is similar in build volume to the Mono X so it will give us back the mid size printing capability that we are currently lacking. Current sale price is $379 shipping included.
Relevance to Tax Exempt Status: None
Motion: Move to allocate $380 for purchase of Elegoo Saturn 3 12K
Vote: Motion carries by voice vote
Issue: To have a 3 yr return on the $25,000 investment in the new laser cutters, fees would need to go up to $10. This is based on actual usage over the last few years.
Solution: Approve fee change on the laser cutters to $10.
Relevance to Tax Exempt Status: None
Motion:
Meeting adjourned by Jonathan White at 8:35pm
