The crew opens with some light chaos (cat talk and missing-Matt jokes) before digging into a real small-business dilemma: a client cuts a bulk engraving order in half after finding a public maker space. They debate how to handle contracts, bulk pricing, and keeping relationships intact when customers try to DIY - and why many eventually come back. That rolls into a bigger conversation about maker spaces (especially publicly funded ones), fair-use and time-abuse, and who should enforce limits. From there: shop moves and how to avoid disaster (alignment, bubbles, Z-gantry checks, leaky hoses), a quick take on xTool’s “are they doing everything?” strategy and the rumored cutter/welder, the monthly Coin Challenge (’90s horror!), and a teaser for a community UV laser parameter library - plus reminders about the LE fediverse sites and community database.
