Laser Upgrade: Lasersaur!

Laser Upgrade: Lasersaur!

As some of you have heard, our laser died. We had to choose between reviving it as-was, or upgrading it. We upgraded it. A little fundraising and a lot of volunteer time, it’s now capable of way more than it ever was before! New types of cuts, better software, Z-axis control, the list goes on!

Flood Damaged Electronics Repairs!

Protospace puts together a Flood Damaged Electronics repair kit and our volunteers stepped up to man 3 different Repair Cafes this week. This helped to get broken cell phones, laptops, stereos, and other waterlogged electronics back on their feet and away from the dumps after Calgary’s devastating flood damage.
