A lot of work is being put into such guns, but the technology applies to everything. I wonder what happens when functional designs for many things are available online, and anyone with a decent printer can make one for themselves. It doesn't need to be great, just useful enough.

A gun is a fairly complex device to make. If one can make that, most other basic devices become practical. A vacuum cleaner with hundreds of people contributing patches to the design, or forking it . . . How long before the design can compete with the better commercial designs. The gun crowd is doing it first, but hardly last.
