Makita 18V Cordless System
There is some support for the lab to start purchasing good quality cordless tools. Makita seems the most popular option, with a single system being desirable for sharing of batteries. These purchases will be postponed until we have suitable secure storage.

Floor area 9.1×4.2m = 38.22m2.

Servers/Rack
Laser Cutter Ventilation
Ducting from ground floor to roof level. High-power blower. Fittings. Installation costs.
Amateur Radio
- Antenna tuner. e.g. LDG Z-11 Pro II
Entertainment
- HiFiBerry DAC for the Pi that plays music in G1. It's currently using a USB DAC that's meant to be on the table. Pi's inbuilt output is actually a GPIO doing PWM and sounds like ass, hence needing a proper DAC.
