In order for open hardware to become recognized as the economic juggernaut that it could be - literally - the next economic paradigm with significant potential for eradicating artificial scarcity - clear and undeniable precedents would have to be set. Once these are demonstrated, it is possible that many industry sectors would, one by one, transition to open source development on a timeframe of only 2-5 years.

	Why did the 3D printer not already set this precedent? First, we have 200 years of proprietary industry. While software development started open source - by people sharing their code according to the [[Hacker Ethic]] developed at MIT - the culture of cooperation is unknown in the last 200 years of hardware industry. It also turns out that many of the early 3D printer hackers were also programmers - so open source warriors filled the ranks of 3D printer development. However, a hiccup occurred in 2013 as MakerBot - the open source poster child of 3D printing - and the largest manufacturer of consumer 3D printers - turned proprietary as it was aquired by Stratasys. This showed Silicon Valley that open hardware does not work, an for this reason, OSE considers the time up to 2013 as The Dark Ages of Open Source Hardware. However, things improved for open hardware since then. Having undergone a betrayal to the community, MakerBot sales plummeted, and other open source contenders took over. Currently, the largest consumer 3D printer manufacturer is [[Prusa Research]], with sales of 8000 printers per month as of early 2018. (Conversation with Josef Prusa). Another open source 3D printer, [[Lulzbot]], was the fastest growing computer company in the USA in 2018 (conversation with Jeff Moe).		Why did the 3D printer not already set this precedent?

	Today, complicated and inappropriate design fills the world, and is part of the reason why individuals participate very little with the artifacts around them. A shift to hacking reality must start with young people - to make that a norm in an enlightened society. Such a shift can begin when young people are involved in design of technology.

	Why did the 3D printer not already set this precedent? First, we have 200 years of proprietary industry. While software development started open source -by people sharing their code according to the [[Hacker Ethic]] developed at MIT - the culture of cooperation is unknown in the last 200 years of hardware industry. It also turns out that many of the early 3D printer hackers were also programmers - so open source warriors filled the ranks of 3D printer development.

	#[[Thingiverse]] - lots of 3D printable designs, many are open source OSHWA compliant. 3D prints only, and home-scale 3D printing is currently limited to non-warping plastic prints, with litte in the way of high temperature plastics such as polycarbonate. The main needs for industrial-grade printing include open source filament makers and industrial-grade heated chambers.		#[[Thingiverse]] - lots of 3D printable designs, many are open source OSHWA compliant. 3D prints only, and home-scale 3D printing is currently limited to non-warping plastic prints, with litte in the way of high temperature plastics such as polycarbonate.
