This is true but what does this have to do with this idea? Who says we need bosses and overseers to get stuff done? See: https://vorondesign.com/ https://vorondesign.com/ "The original goal of the VORON project, back in 2015, was to create a no-compromise 3D printer that was fun to assemble and a joy to use. It had to be quiet, clean, pretty, and continue to operate 24 hours a day without requiring constant fiddling. In short a true home micro-manufacturing machine without a hefty price tag. It took over a year in development, with every part being redesigned, stress tested and optimized. Shortly after the release a vibrant community formed around the project and continues to grow today. This community is part of what makes VORON such a special experience. What was once a one-person operation has grown into a small tight-knit group of engineers united under a common design ethos. We're dedicated to creating production-quality printers you can assemble in your kitchen. It's this passion and dedication that drive us to push the boundaries just a little further. We build space shuttles with gardening tools so anyone can have a space shuttle of their own. Welcome to VORON Design"

Respectfully, 3d printers are a special case. People aren’t building a washing machine at home. That takes industrial machinery.

  If I could pay rent and feed myself regardless, I would design this out of spite.

    Design is the easy bit. It's getting engineers to do the boring stuff like making sure it doesn't burn your house down in the middle of the night.

  Yes and to make my vision a reality we need community ownership of the means of production, which would 100% mean access to these tools. With appropriate access to tools, bored engineers under such a system can get a LOT of shit done.

> Who says we need bosses and overseers to get stuff done? I prefer being told what to do so that I can use my mental capacity on things I care about. I do not care about making a dishwasher or a 3d printer. I would rather pay someone else to do it, and I would rather that person has a team of people under them who can help me with trivial issues if I come across it. I desperately do not want to waste my time with a dishwasher or anything else in the kitchen.
