+Hello, this is Tony Humeh with the second of a series of interviews that I conducted at
+Liverpool Make First on the 24th of June this year.
+Enjoy the interview.
+Thanks.
+Hello, this is Tony Humeh, I'm a public radio still at Liverpool Make First 2017 and I've
+got with me.
+Jimmy England from Wellington Fab Lab.
+Hello, Jimmy.
+Would you like to tell us a little bit about what you're doing here today and what you've
+got on display?
+Yeah, we're here today just to promote our facility.
+We're based in Wellington.
+We're a Fab Lab open engineering workshop specialising in digital fabrication.
+We're here to show off some of the projects we've got, some of the courses we're running
+for local people and just bringing enthusiasts who are to our establishment.
+Do you have a website that people can access if they want to have a look a bit more?
+Yes, we're straight at Wellington Fab Lab, it's got information on all the courses,
+it's got information on all the facilities, the tool in the 3D printing laser, cutting
+CNC routers, it's got it all on there.
+Of course, sounds like you've got an awful lot of stuff.
+We're pretty well equipped, yeah.
+So what are some of the things you've got on display this morning?
+So as far as display goes, we've got three practical 3D prints going, which includes
+a 9 inch i4 tower, which should be printing throughout the day, which would be really
+interesting on the race 3D.
+We've got a couple of our projects from our engineering residents, which is Grey and
+Brown.
+He's producing a three wheeled aerosicle working with Bentley.
+We've got a prosthetic hand, which has recently been on BBC News North West for two local
+families with the charity Reach and we've got some commercial projects looking at casing
+as well as some of the 3D printed stuff that local youth groups have done with us.
+Sounds really exciting, some of the stuff you're doing.
+Do you take any of this as in reach into schools?
+We're actually based in schools, so my role is Fab Lab Manager and Head of Engineering
+at B Monkelegic Academy in Wellington.
+Oh right, oh, that's really exciting.
+So we're based there.
+We're open on a Thursday afternoon, 3 to 8 and a Saturday, half 9 till 4, students are
+often in on the Thursday taking advantage of the kit and the equipment and the big draw
+at the moment has been the 3D printed fidget spinners.
+Really good.
+Well, thank you very much for explaining a little bit about what you do.
+Thanks for having me.
+Welcome.
+Nice to meet you.
+Lovely.
+Thanks.
+Hello, this is Tony Hughes for our public radio and I'm with Patrick Fanner, I'm putting
+the main invaders, but from Does Liverpool.
+Oh right, could you explain a little bit about what it is then?
+It is a full-sized nerf range.
+And what is that when it's at home?
+So it's a foot square targets that are light up and reactive, so if you hit them with
+nerf foam darts, then they register the score and appear to explode the sprite and then
+give you anyone.
+So that's then built into this 3-metre by 3-metre black gazebo, so it's more like a physical
+incarnation of a computer game.
+So 30 seconds to try and shoot as many of the targets as possible and get as high as
+it's possible.
+Just to explain to the listeners who can't see this, we've got a load of blocks that look
+a bit like Minecraft blocks and some of them have got LEDs and things like that on that
+create the sprites and I suppose that's what you need to hit, is it?
+Yeah, so we've got 15 targets, all 9 by 9 pixel RGB LED arrays.
+So low and off resolution that you can really see the kind of pixily aspect to it and
+yeah, very blocky, very Minecraft, so we've got some blank blocks in there with just
+fine or stickers on to be able to support them and get them off as well.
+But yeah, full-cool resolution, which is a little bit odd, so you've got lower resolution
+than early computer games, but many, many more colors.
+So where did the idea for this come from?
+I'm banned from Nerf guns in the house and they needed a nice R&D project.
+So yeah, it's one of the larger dust projects, which we're driving specifically, but lots
+of other people does involved in terms of construction.
+So all the boxes are all laser cut MDF and ply and even the light baffles to give us
+the nice square pixels are all grayboard, all off the laser cut earth and then be able
+to produce manufactured PCBs, built them in, does put them all together, lines of people
+around the workshop being able to put bits together and get us all sort of for its first
+out in.
+Yeah, you mentioned does and I'm taking that does Liverpool, so do you want to say a
+little bit about them?
+Yeah, so does Liverpool is the meg space in the centre of Liverpool on Hanover Street.
+So it's open, 9.35, 30 money to Friday, so it does hot desk in, a mixture of freelancers
+and permanent desks and then the workshop next door, so laser cutters and 3D printers
+and soldering stations and vinyl cutters and heat benders and CNC, but somebody's building
+and yeah, also stuff.
+Coffee machine that's connected to the internet.
+A coffee machine that's connected to the internet, so you can already coffee before you get
+there and it'll be ready for you when you get arrived, will it?
+No, nothing useful like that, but you can see how much coffee there is from anywhere in
+the world.
+Okay, so young people who want to go along to does Liverpool, do they have to be accompanied
+by an adult?
+We don't have a strict age limit on the workshop, there's over 16's are available on their
+own, under 16 then we do ask for supervision from an adult, but there really is no lower
+age limit, we've had kids as young as two, really like common and brushing up, so yeah
+that works too.
+So as long as an under 16's are accompanied by someone that's responsible for them, they
+can arrive.
+Yes, I think they're allowed to help them if they've owned something as well, it's not
+like you have to stand there.
+So would you like to tell us what your website is?
+So does Liverpool.com or this particular event, Made Invaders, would be at Made Invaders
+on Twitter.
+Thank you very much.
