Added some thoughts of mine + asked for other's feedback on some ideas i had

New page

'''Reaction to / ideas about the following quote as of the version that was newest with this talk post:'''

But this isn't going to be easy. How do you learn 17 trades in such a short time? If you google online, you see that the common story for the trades is entry level pay after 4 years of apprenticeship, with 10 years to become a master carpenter. Here we expect to reach the same level in only 2 years.

'''SO'''
I think the main method is just Documentation/Resources. As it is you would basically be thrown a [[Blueprint]] with a bunch of unknown symbols (although Keys help), many [[Abbreviations]] etc

The "Expert" (Ie [[Journeyman]] etc) level is less so ''being able to do the task'' ('''although''' that is the case for some of them / how fast and fluently one can do so, more involved things like [[Conduit Bending]] or complex [[Welding]] (Like [[Boilermaker]] type stuff) , and moreso in depth understanding of [[Building Codes]] / What to use Where, ''THUS'' (although you don't want to just chuck tools at some clueless person) given the '''Pre-Designed and Tested Nature of OBI Kits''' an expert shouldn't be needed per se. [[Ikea Furniture Doesn't Need to Be Assembled by an Engineer]] or something along those lines.

''Granted'' Stuff like [[Heavy Equipment Certification]] / Work on [[Gas Mains]] / [[Welding Certification]] may be a good idea, but depending on the design this could either not be needed, or could be done in a [[Pre-Fabrication | Prefab]] manner

On Another Note, '''we don't want to get into [[Vaporware]] territory / overstate capabilities or development times required''', BUT [[VR Job Training]] / [[AR Guided Assembly]] / [[AR Guided Maintenance]] could also reduce the barrier to entry (albeit in this case...for a price of needing the hardware) (not horrendously expensive (in the context of a middle class person, in a high income developed economy etc) depending on what you use, but at LEAST a capable [[Smartphone]] (Maybe, but not necessarily [[Flagship Smartphone]] level), best case scenario would be something like [[Project Northstar]] or even some [[Hardhat Integrated AR HMD]] / [[Welding Helmet Integrated AR HMD]] etc)

Supervision and/or [[Customer Support]] would be of use as well. I know [[Prusa Customer Support]] is pretty extensive, granted again ''for a price'', but that is a potential aspect. ''Although'' groups like [[VORON]] now that they are large enough use Forums / Social Media ( [[Discord]] , [[Reddit]] , etc) as a sort of [[Decentralized Customer Support]] , but given that being more unpredictable / having Verifiability/Accreditation of who is saying what can be more difficult

*'''I'm Rambling so here's a summary on what to do:'''
** 1.) Have Great Documentation
***CAD (Mostly Done)
****Having an [[Interactive Part Library]] (Having not only the files, but a [[Live 3D Object Render View]] , and also a [[3D Scan]] of as built in standard lighting etc would be of use (short of stuff like bolts etc perhaps)
****[[Part Versioning]] (Perhaps [[Engraved]] into the part itself etc)
***Animations/Pictures (Not Quite Done)
** 2.) Have Great Tutorials
***[[Hardware Assembly Video Tutorials]] (Not Begun)
***[[Project Video Overview]] + [[Project Video Series Playlist]] (Not Begun)
** 3.) Have a Great Instruction Manual
*** PDF ''AND'' [[Color Printed Instructions]] available
***[[Language Agnostic Instructions]] are good (re: [[Lego Instructions]] ), but as a [[Stretch Goal]] of sorts, having versions with written instructions would be good as well, need to look into this more overall
** 4.) [[Fool Proof]] things
***If it is designed so assembly is near impossible to do wrong, and most parts are CNC Cut / FDM 3D Printed (With [[Print Profiles]] to prevent issues with [[Print Quality]] even) it is mainly "Pick Thing A Up, Attach to Thing B with Post, Lock in Place With Bolts"
***This ties into [[Quality Control]] a bit too, but that is a separate thing on it's own to an extent
** 5.) Have a [[Customer Support System]] in Place
***At least:
****A [[Project FAQ Section]]
****A [[Project Forum Subsection]] / [[Project Discord Subchannel]] (Also [[Certification Roles]] / [[Pingable Experts]] )
**Finally '''[[CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT]] OF ALL THIS'''

That's my rant/take and i can potentially look into / add on to these concepts in the future
