It occurs to me that services like SendCutSend or @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social's CNC are making it possible to do even more expansive open-source hardware that allows people who don't have access to certain tools to participate for a reasonable cost. My next project may have to include this idea.

This video is what primed my thoughts along this line! It is astonishing what you can get and how cheap it is now. Lots of things are now affordable and approachable.

There are design considerations where "download this STL and order it in steel from your favorite service" can really improve things over a pure 3D printed design. I was looking at a high end HOTAS setup with a friend and some of those high stress parts benefit from metal over plastic.

Even brass would be an improvement over PLA for holding specific moving parts in alignment. Very exciting to think about.
