## Expectations management
|
|
|
* the lab is full of incredible tools machines that allow you to make incredible things
|
|
|
* machines, though incredible, are pretty dumb and are very limited in their abilities
|
|
|
* learning how to operate every machine safely is rather fast and straightforward, and is covered in regular 1-3 hour inductions
|
|
|
* **mastering** any machine and process is a long path of trial and error
|
|
|
* develop complexity of your projects with any machine/process gradually, allowing a lot of time for tests, failures and experiments
|
|
|
* fabrication time grows exponentially with the project size
|
|
|
|
|
|
## DO's
|
|
|
* ALWAYS INSPECT YOUR TOOLS AND MACHINES BEFORE USING THEM. If you notice a problem - report immediately. If the problem is noticed by staff, then the last person known to have used the tool is likely to be held responsible.
|
|
|
* do ask stupid questions
|
|
|
* Use the right tool for the job - if you're struggling - you're most likely using the wrong tool
|
|
|
* do clean up after yourself.
|
|
|
* do use the vacuum cleaner.
|
|
|
* do use the cardboard bins to store your stuff.

## DON'Ts
|
|
|
* NEVER USE FORCE - if you have to engage your muscles - STOP AND ASK.
|
|
|
* do not step on the chairs/tables to reach ceiling sockets. Use the pink step stool instead.
|
|
|
* do not take any of the tools out of the lab. not even for a quick 5-minute job. If you need a tool to borrow - just ask (and soon you'll be able to book all the kit online)
|
|
|
* do not misuse tools. if you can't find the right tool for the job - just ask. we'll find a solution.
