The first buyer fell through, hit me up if you might be interested!
Hey all! Its unfortunately time to find a new home for my SEM. if you are interested take a look at this doc. TLDR: asking $2,250 OBO, pick up in Santa Clara CA. Other than that its best offer / whoever makes it easiest for me to move it on

I have been locked out of my labsmore.com accounts for the past week due to an expired credit card knocking out my DNS served with AWS route 53. I can't log into my AWS account to fix it since with DNS gone I can't receive a sign in code, or any other email for that matter

Almost sold out of current Maasi spin coater inventory! Starting the next run to raise the current production from 14 to somewhere in the 20 to 24 range

Successfully printed a Maasi spin coater "vase" (fluid bucket) in polypropylene! This will ease concerns more aggressive solvents / photo-resists will dissolve conventional print materials

A few more photoresist tests. Note these are all way bigger than the "normal" device they represent. Ex: Intel 4003 metal pattern on a 2" wafer
