Yeah, for sure. The only issue would be that I wouldn't be as interested in building an open source dishwasher for every possible (or even the most common) user

  I figure someone is going to come along who's excited about adapting the dishwasher for their own use cases, since they also don't want to do dishes. Maybe they'll even have it support their social circle's use cases so they never have to help doing their friends' dishes after being over for dinner again. It's bound to happen at some point, right? There's a lot of people doing dishes.

    > It's bound to happen at some point, right? No. As a hardware hacker myself, the benefit and draw is the fun of it, I don't want to have to hack my own dishwasher and make it work to my requirements, not maintain it. Hackers usually write very bad code, in case you weren't aware

  That's exactly why Torvols wrote the first linux kernel. He wanted it for himself, and decided to give the source away so people would contribute. I don't think this is limited to just digital items like software. I would absolutely use an open source dishwasher if I could ship my custom design to a manufacturer to build.

  Luck us, templatable CAD exists. Tailor the dishwashers to the end-users.
