New Digs for the Shop Part 2

In my previous post I mentioned how poor the lighting in this room was.  I added several strings of LEDs behind the track facia but this didn't really give me what I needed.  For a while I used a stand with five 75w lamps but this created severe shadows and really heated up the room.  I finally bit the bullet and hung two 4' dual tube LED fixtures.  These are similar to fluorescent lights but they'll last almost forever and they run soooooo much cooler than the incandescent lights I had been using.  I went with 3200 K color temperature to give a more natural light.  This is what I'll be using for the layout too.  With the same lighting in both rooms I won't have any surprises when I build and paint a model and then move it into the other room.

Another improvement was the addition of a 3D printing station.  I now have two printers, an Ender3 filament type and a Photon Anycubic resin printer.  The printing station is a roll-around serving cart which gives me storage for tools and supplies.  It has a stainless steel counter top which should hold up to the caustic resin of the Photon printer.  It also has room for a small ultra-sonic cleaner for cleaning the parts made on the Photon.  For curing those parts I built a 12" x 12" x 12" box with an infra-red lamp and a small turntable with a solar panel to give it power when the lamp is on. 

 

This room is only 11' x 12' but it has a walk-in closet.  It's still comfortable but at this point has a lot of tools and supplies in it, most of what I need for my hobby.  I still have a wood shop out in the garage but that's for big stuff and it gets pretty toasty.  I spend most of my time in here now.
