MakerSpace

MakerSpace Hours: Monday's 3:30 - 4:30 & Thursday's 12:30 - 1:00

We started our assembly line, we are now producing coffee mugs with custom text and logos, and also making t-shirts for the MVHS resource department.  We had a bunch of orders for coffee mugs and it always kept us with a new task each day.  With some of the images that we tried to cut, the turned out bad, so we had to work in the software to try and make the image work.  Everyday was essentially someone peel vinyl, someone press the vinyl onto whatever surface, and someone cut the vinyl.  We had many satified customers.  We are making low price products that are very customizable, and it's getting popular.  We've had many different people aproach us because they liked what we are doing.

IMAGES

-This week in the Makerspace we worked on the 2016 MVHS Drag Team Logo, the original image wouldn't work with our vnyl cutting software because of the glare that was on the pistons on the original image.  We went to Mr. Whalen for help, he used Adobe Illistrator to re-create the image in a monochrome version of the image so it would work when we went to cut it, but we decided to change the logo to a Cragar wheel on a Radial T/A tire and 2016 MVHS Drag Team written in white letters on the tire.  We also tested a few different heat transfer prints and tried them on coffee mugs.  We found out that we needed to keep the pressure and heat on the coffee (suramic) mug for 60 seconds at the temperature of 305 degrees celcius to keep the image from peeling off in the dishwasher.  After we found that out, Mr. Whalen asked us to put three different images on three different mugs, so we did.  We are almost to the point of making this into a assembly line.
