Overview

Student-Teacher Ratio 1:1

This Basic Operation and Safety Standards (BOSS) class is part of an ongoing safety series for members to become proficient in operating machinery at Maker Nexus. It's an excellent opportunity to learn best practices to effectively laser engrave materials that require rotary maneuvering.

Classes at Maker Nexus are open to the public, though members enjoy the perk of tuition discounts. 

The rotary attachment allows you to engrave on cylindrical objects like cups, glasses, bottles (glass, ceramics, anodized aluminum or coated steel), rings, pens, baseball bats, and more. In this class, you will learn how to safely install the rotary attachment into the BOSS laser, how to operate the device, and how to prepare your file to send to the laser.

We'll be using the Boss Laser LS2440, 100W, a water-cooled CO2 laser cutter with a Ruida controller (common and easy to use).

At the end of class, you will engrave a 16oz pint glass with your custom design to take home.

Questions & Answers
How will Covid concerns be handled? Will there be social distancing in the form of reduced classes and mandatory masks?

We are following all of the County guidelines to keep everyone as safe as possible. We will be enforcing social distancing, as well as requiring masks at all times indoors. We've set up additional work space dedicated to students to give them more room to socially distance. We've limited camp enrollments as well, and will only be offering a single camp each week (typically we have 2-3 camps in various subjects running concurrently). The health and safety of our students and staff is our #1 concern, and we especially want to make sure students have a safe experience here. -

Thank you for your interest,We are working hard on getting the classes online. We have a schedule, but still need to finalize the write ups and photos. Target is to have all set by end of this coming week: There will be a mix of camps from Textiles, robotics, electronics, woodworking and laser/3d printing for a variety of ages. The week of July 4th will be day camps with a different theme each day - those are posted for sign ups already. -
