 Founded in 2017, Protohaven is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that engages a diverse community of makers by providing the space, tools, and education necessary to enable our community of learners various stages of creative aspiration. A community makerspace and workshop, and design and fabrication school, Protohaven seeks to create a safe and supportive environment for learning, creating, and community-building.
-===== Areas =====
+===== Studio Area =====
+We call this front room our Studio.  It is where we have our cleaner / quieter tools.

+==== 3D Studio ====
-=== 3D Studio ===
+In the 3D Studio we have 3 printers from Prusa.  they can print common plastic materials such as PLA, PETG, ABS and TPU.  They work by heating up plastic to a malleable temperature and then deposits the plastic layer by layer to build 3D objects.
-Our 3D Studio currently has 3 Prusia brand PLA printers. These printers take plastic and heat it to a malleable temperature then draw out the design it was given. On the opposite wall (near the lasers) we are working on getting a resin 3D printer area set up, which uses LED lights to harden liquid plastic layer by layer to create the given design. Resin accels at smaller more detailed prints, while PLA is more general use.
-=== Electronics ===
+Also in the 3D studio is a 3D scanner that can scan smaller objects and create a digital 3D model of the object.
-I personally know next to nothing about this area, I generally tell people they can solder a thing if they need to, and you can modify computer hardware as well.
-=== Textiles ===
+==== Electronics ====
+Electronics has tools for doing both Pin Though Hole (PTH) soldering as well as more advanced tools for soldering Surface Mounted Devices (SMD).   We also have diagnostic and test tools for troubleshooting and developing electronics projects.
+We also have a PCB Mill where members can rapid prototype their own circuit boards.
+==== Textiles ====
 Textiles has equipment for fabric design and modification. You’ll find the large cutting table here along with consumer, and industrial grade sewing machines. We also have A CNC embroidery machine that can take vector graphics and sew the design for you.
-=== Lasers ===
+==== Lasers ====
-The lasers take vector graphic designs and apply them to most woods or acrylic type plastics. They can cut up to ¼” of material, they can also engrave designs on thicker material that it can cut.
+The lasers take graphic designs and apply them to various materials. They can cut up to ¼” of material, they can also engrave designs on thicker material than it can cut.
-=== Graphics ===
+There is is a long list of Approved Materials, of those the most popular materials are Plywood, Acrylic plastic, chipboard, cardboard, and leather.
+==== Graphics ====
-Area consists mainly of heat presses that work with three different shapes. One for flat objects, one for curved objects like mugs, and one for hats. This area also has our vinyl cutter, and roll printer.
+The main tools of the graphics area are the Dye Sublimation Printer (the gray one on the desk) and the US Cutter Vinyl and paper cutter.  The Dye Sublimation printer can print on substrate that can be put in the various heat presses and transferred to mugs hats or shirts.
-==== Shop ====
+The vinyl cutter can cut out heat transfer vinyl that can also be used in the heat presses. or with adhesive vinyl to make decals and stickers.
-=== Woodshop ===
+The large roll printer can print large format sheets like engineering drawings or posters.
+===== Shop Area =====
-Woodshop is a great place to have a conversation about clearances. The woodshop is broken down into a few related areas:
+==== Woodshop ====
+Woodshop is a great place to have a conversation about clearances. Most tools in the shop require an Equipment Clearance Class or Test before use. Do not use this equipment before obtaining the necessary clearance. These clearances are the bare minimum requirements to use the equipment and are not a substitute for consulting manufacturers’ safety guidelines, asking for help, or following general safety principles.
+The woodshop is broken down into a few related areas:
 === General Woodworking ===
 Woodworking Basics can combine a number of related pieces of equipment as they share similar safety practices and are beginner friendly.
 === Millwork and Joinery ===

 === CNC Router ===
 The router is a CNC driven process that requires more technical knowledge to operate safely. It is really easy to miss a detail and break the machine or injure yourself or others.
-Wood Lathe
+=== Wood Lathe ===
 The wood lathe is used for making rounded form objects.  From bowls to containers or even a bat.
