That will just encourage the people doing more serious work to either buy their own equipment, setup a shared professional workspace or rent from another business off hours. In all cases they'd stop coming to the maker space. which robs the maker space of the most experienced mentors. If they're a small business with income then they can even take out a small business loan for the equipment. Unity's model works because you can't swap out Unity without a lot of time investment. That's not the case for commodity equipment.
