There certainly is a space for an organization which handles the production and distribution for hardware hackers. Grand St could let a maker upload an idea, put up a page, and attract people kickstarter-style. Once people start ordering, Grand St would automatically start manufacturing the items and shipping them. They'd need to purchase manufacturing hardware, lease space, pay employees to manufacture and ship these, so Grand St would take a percent of the profits, but this could easily be a non-profit organization.
