Sign-Up Procedure In order to use the laser cutter you will need to sign up for time in-person or via Appointlet. Operators will assist you in documenting your appointments in-person, which become available at 9am on Mondays (for Wednesday-Friday) and Thursdays (for Saturday – Tuesday). You must present your ID both when you sign up, and when you come to cut. It is also your responsibility to make sure your name and contact information are entered correctly whenever it is asked for on the online forms or else we cannot contact you about time changes, machine outages, etc.
You are allowed a maximum of 4 hours of cut time each week, with no more than 2 hours of cut time in one day, and our week is Saturday – Friday. There are separate columns for each laser cutter, and you may not sign up to use multiple laser cutters at the same time. This quota is subject to change as we approach the end of the semester. Rescheduling and Cancelling If you are unable to use the time slot you’ve signed up for, you must notify the Operators in advance so your time can be given to another user; otherwise, it will count against your weekly allotment. You can do this in person at the Lab at least 1 hour in advance, or by emailing fablab1330@gmail.com at least 2 hours before your start time with your full name and the date/time that you wish to cancel.
The Operator will remove your name from the sign-in sheet as well as denote the change on your weekly quota. You will not be able to cross it off yourself. ONLINE SIGNS-UPS placed through Appointlet can be rescheduled or cancelled up to two days in advance. You can do this yourself through the confirmation email you received No-Show If you do not properly cancel your time and do not use it, it will count as a No-Show.
Waiting List If you are unable to sign up for a specific time slot, you may sign up on the Waiting List. If a student cancels their appointment or finishes early, the Operator will work down the Waiting List, contacting students until they find someone to take the time slot. The Waiting List is refreshed daily, so plan to be in the building, within 5 minutes of the Lab, and ready to cut if you sign up. You can gain up to 2 hours of time daily using the Waiting List.
