  • Josh has 3 large coolers, Sam has 2 coolers

  • Jeep has arranged for members to be available to give tours for specific areas

Replacement for the BFL

  • BFL is becoming a maintenance nightmare

  • Joe's recommendation: https://www.thunderlaserusa.com/machine/nova-35/

  • Opinion: A large format machine would be a better short-term purchase than a Glowforge replacement

  • CO2 laser is a requirement for RCL, Fiber Laser is more of a nice-to-have

  • No decisions made - discussion to continue in Slack

Glowforge

  • Jason Radford confirmed that the Glowforge is RCL's to use indefinitely, and if we think replacing it is the best way of protecting the capability and providing value to our members, then that decision is ours to make and he would not object
