12:17:56 From Alexander to Everyone: I want to mention that there are discussions to make the badges not just achievements, but some to be required to approach helping some of the harder cases
12:19:14 From Jeremy Simon to Everyone: Yes, there’s discussion about maybe using specific badges as prerequisites for getting involved in specific cases.
12:26:36 From Ben Rubin to Everyone: check the research section!
12:26:51 From Ben Rubin to Everyone: for Mateo's thesis
12:28:05 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: Also keep in mind, the cheapest printers can do as good as the best printers, if you takr the time to tinker a lot with them. So the range in price is more about how much tinkering you're prepared to do
12:28:16 From Jeremy Simon to Everyone: That’s exactly right
12:30:17 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: That's how it works with EWC (which is somewhat separate and connected to the hub) - Enable Web Central
12:30:47 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: Cases are posted, and people are being connected depending mostly based on region and availability
12:32:01 From Jason I Ramirez to Everyone: So who gets to work on the more challenging requests? Is there a designated team for this?
12:32:02 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: You can also just post in the main forum on the hub what you want to help with, and someone will make sure to guide you to a place that fits. This can also be if you look for advice or getting help as well
12:32:41 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: Jason, this was part of the earlier meeting and it's a more complicated question, so I'll let Jeremy answer
12:32:49 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: @Jeremy
12:33:57 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: I was late so I missed the introductions, but if you are more specialized or experienced yes, the harder cases are one of the many ways to help. Do you have something in mind you'd like to do?
12:36:11 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: Kate, I want to mention that rarely the first printed hand is a good fit, let alone a good enough one.
12:36:59 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: But yes, your concerns are very very common, I have the same issues
12:39:26 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: Jeremy got excited ))
12:41:12 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: I wanted to ask for a while now, does e-NABLE sign any volunteer work certificate? Students would love that
12:42:09 From Jeremy Simon to Everyone: On occasion, I have signed forms for Eagle Scouts to confirm they completed an e-NABLE project, but I’m not aware of anything else.
12:42:41 From Jeremy Simon to Everyone: We do have several badges for students to earn
12:44:18 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: If it happened once, it can happen again, and a lot of students with maybe "less generous" inclinations could be interested in helping the community for a volunteer certificate. Especially highschool and college students, since they often are required volunteer work. We could have them connect with people in their community to look for pilots and other such
12:45:25 From Iulius Vasilescu to Everyone: Or worse the devices are not well adjusted and are uncomfortable or hurt the user
12:49:53 From Alexander to Everyone: Don't be afraid to make tests and break a device, is my advice as an engineer. It's better to break it on purpose in the lab, than out in the field
12:50:06 From Jon Schull to Everyone: Zoom into Texas on the map, and you’ll see 5 e-NABLE chapters.
12:53:23 From Alexander to Everyone: "I gotta e-mail like 3000 people" glorious!
12:55:12 From Alexander to Everyone: Jason, out of curiosity, what are you studying?
12:55:28 From Alexander to Everyone: And/or what kind of project are you thinking of?
12:56:23 From Jason I Ramirez to Everyone: Mechanical Engineering, and ive worked on a 3d printed bicycle attachment for a below elbow limb difference.
12:57:30 From Alexander to Everyone: Oh wow that sounds amazing!
12:58:09 From Alexander to Everyone: Also for everyone, you can always just ask questions in the main forum on the Hub
12:58:22 From Jeremy Simon to Everyone: :undefined:
12:59:33 From Alexander to Everyone: Also, Jeremy, possible idea related to last meeting: could we get emails for the meetings? I sometimes join by phone and the hub can be tricky on a small screen.
12:59:40 From Jason I Ramirez to Everyone: Honestly nothing in particular at the moment, im interested in all projects, id like to further develop my CAD and Modeling/Sim skills
