Yes! Home manufacturing tools are definitely headed in the right direction! My interest is in going much farther though - to the point where a community or society can survive off of a totally open source chain. To me that means the machines that make the bagels at the bagel shop are open source and the vehicles that deliver the wheat that make the bagels are open source and so is the farm equipment and the solar panel manufacturing equipment etc.

I’m happy that we’re moving to more sustainable energy but for me the revolution I’m most interested in is the one where the people control the manufacturing technology. And I hope we’re caring for the earth while we do it.

Oh and see my latest 3D printed robot in that vein: http://reboot.love/t/rover-a-robot-you-can-make-at-home/94
