This Saturday at 1pm: Learn to solder while making your own light-up robot to take home. Your humble editor personally went into a prior class with zero electronics knowledge and a slight fear of breaking things, and emerged successful. It's a great class! guestlist.co/events/818959

With Claude Code's help, made several demos for Browser Night at @heatsynclabs.bsky.social . (And then ruthlessly simplified them.) All CSS animations, no JavaScript. Especially pleased with the logo that "draws itself" using "stroke-dashoffset". jay.mcgavren.com/browser-demos/

I found 12x24-inch cutting mats, meaning I can finally use @heatsynclabs.bsky.social 's USCutter LaserPoint II (aka Sir-Cuts-a-Lot) to cut posterboard! Started with the usual icosahedron (much scaled-up), but this is just the beginning! #VinylCutter #Cricut #Silhouette #MakerSpace

A posterboard icosahedron net sits unfolded on a table top. Written in Sharpie on the net is "Heatsync Labs", "Mesa AZ", "Sir-Cuts-a-Lot".

A banana sits atop the net, for scale. The net is approximately 3 bananas wide.

A, icosahedron, made from folded posterboard, sits unfolded on a table top. Written in Sharpie on the solid is "Heatsync Labs", "Mesa AZ".

A banana leans on it, for scale. The icosahedron is as wide as the banana is long.

Saturday June 6th (in 2.5 weeks) at 12pm is a very special LEGO Day. Come build a level to add to our tower! We'll be displaying the finished tower in the front windows! We expect this to be extra-popular so we're doing signups for this one (donation optional): guestlist.co/events/818194

Two towers, one about 3 feet tall and one 4 feet tall, made out of LEGO, stand in the front window of a makerspace. They're connected by a bridge, with minifigs standing on it. Various smaller LEGO creations surround the towers.

A woman holds an Arduino microcontroller. A group of rainbow-colored wires stretches to a breadboard below a piece of wood with laser-cut holes. Rising up from this support is a 3D grid of wires with LEDs soldered into it. Some of the LEDs shine red and blue.

Rhombic Dodecahedrons (yeah, we didn't know that was a thing either) made with bamboo and steel struts, held together with 3d-printed vertices. The same vertices can hold struts of various lengths.

A bench in a makerspace wood shop, holding two similar geometric figures, one inside the other. The one with bamboo struts is much smaller, the one with steel struts about 10 times its size.

Screenshot of a Slack conversation. Someone posts a diagram of 3 "impossible objects" with the labels:
"TRICHOTOMETRIC INDICATOR SUPPORT
0.0833 FT
AMBIHELICAL HEXNUT
(3.1416 REQUIRED)
10.16 CM
RECTABULAR EXRUSION
BRACKET"
And they say "Anyone able to help me machine this?"

Someone else replies "We do those all the time. Let me check the store room."
And posts an image of one of MC Escher's "impossible" buildings.

Our soldering stations at #CactusCon were a big hit! Thanks to our many volunteers who helped set them up. If you still have soldering to do, visit our in-lab soldering stations during Open Hours! See our schedule at: www.heatsynclabs.org/calendar/ @cactuscon.com

Several people sit around folding tables using soldering irons at a hands-on electronics workshop. The tables are covered with soldering stations, wires, tools, safety glasses, and small circuit boards in progress. A projected “soldering quick tips” slide is visible on the wall in the background, and more participants work at additional tables behind them.
