The era of DECENTRALIZED MANUFACTURING is upon us. The centralized systems of old will not be removed by violent struggle (violence is a psyop to turn everything into a police state) and can only be surpased by making them obsolete.
3D printing has moved long enough that a $250 printer can reliably print actual useful stuff and can be used in production. CNCs have followed the same trends. You can use a sub $200 CNC to etch fucking PCBs to create your own electronics. We are basically living in the future and we act like this is still the fucking 90s
Since robotics and manufacturing can now be decentralized, we can decentralize pretty much everything, from food production to consumer goods. The amount of middlemen and centalized behemothcorps that can be removed from the food chain is on a scale that was unimaginable until now and should be a goal to strive for.
Pic related is how I'll be carrying my neighborhood made beers to the picnic, after the decentralized revolution takes place and makes long commutes and work hours obsolete along with yuppie managers
Nice diggits, save up and buy one. Even the cheapest one nowdays can print actual useful shit

Hours of fucking with tons of factors to make the print come out proper and the effect is still goofy looking plastic crap.
Tyler Powell
the only downside really is that it takes about a day to print one of those things in your pic.

Because they're slow and fucking shit, everything they make are a very small fraction of the strength and quality of a moulded part.
Buy a lathe and a milling machine instead of wasting your time and money on that shit. Throw in a a AC/DC TIG while at it.

Good point, but the future of agriculture is smaller scale, high output indoor farms. Most produce can be grown that way, removing the need for pesticides and transport and reducing fertilizers, water useage.
Easy to ship and store staples such as potatoes, wheat and hemp (cheapest and easiest protein source) can still be grown in fields, of which more will be available because the rest of the produce will be grown locally at the point of sale

if it weren’t such cheap brittle plastic meme quality then maybe most people would care. real fabrication uses strong materials
Jackson Rodriguez
The bright side is that you can use parallel manufacturing, since you can build more printers for way cheaper by using your first printer. You can also use the printer for creating molds and casts

>If there were people to teach how everyone could decentralize that would be helpful to them. Nobody knows how to deal with crops cycles of weather or anything they need to know to actually decentralize.
