| 🛠️ Fabrication & Machine Operation | I have my design thought through, and how that will translate in physical space. I have my files prepared, and just need support to access the equipment to fabricate my project. i.e. - "Can a specialist run the laser cutter or CNC machine to cut my parts?” |
|---|---|
| 🔧 Troubleshooting | I've hit a technical block in the design or fabrication process, and need support finding what the problem is and advise on how to solve it. i.e. - "My Arduino isn't outputting anything." |
| 📐 Feedback & Testing | I have a preliminary part of a project completed, and before moving forward, would like someone to help me review my work in case it needs revising, and advise on how to proceed forward. - i.e. "Can you review my CAD file or prototype before I build/test it?” |
| 🔌 Circuitry & Electronics | I need support with technical aspects of circuitry and electronics to fulfill a specific goal in my project.Modify the quote to “can you help me learn how to create a custom PCB design, teach me how to solder, or help with a wiring issue I'm having?” - i.e. “I want to learn PCB design, electronics and soldering” |
| 💻 Software & Integration | I need support with technical aspects of troubleshooting my software or integrating it into hardware I've already put together. - i.e. “How do I troubleshoot my code or integrate it into my hardware components?” |
| 🛠️ Hands-On Assistance | I need a refresher on how to utilize a power tool I've been trained on or how to use a hand tool in the safest most effective way for my project needs. - i.e. What is the best method to join, cut, or finish these pieces of material, and can you teach me how to use the tools I will need to do so?” |
