Design Space Precautions apply   

You will be working in the Design Space . In order to keep safe from hazards created by you or other workers using any of the tools in this room, the following precautions apply in addition to any other precautions:

  • don't put food in the garbage bins, there are mice we don't want to feed
  • Several machines use vinyl; be careful when handling the rolls because you can damage them and in turn damage the sensitive vinyl equipment
  • This space is partially open to the public - do not leave sharp objects lying around. We have some communal sharp tools in a secret place; ask a nearby helpful person or post on Slack if you would like to know where they are.
When would you use which specialty cutter or printer?   

The Fablab has several specialty cutters/printers; where the capabilities overlap also see the Consumables list for cost differences:

The Epson Sublimation Printer is used to put full-colour designs on a variety of objects such as plaques, and fabrics. The printer prints on special sublimation paper, which is then held against a suitable sublimation blank. The blank and paper are pressed together under heat using the Heat Press/Combo Heat Press Machine, and the ink is forced into the sublimation material.

If you're using this for a while, fumes can accumulate and make you feel bad.
