MOST lab workshops
The MOST lab has a very similar concept. They have
- Their own kit and kit supplier
- Detailed online documentation describing both how to build the printer and how to host a workshop
- Gathered data from workshops
- Free software source code and design files
- A separate Train-the-trainer program
Seed Factory
Dani Eder had a similar initiative in 2013, called Seed Factory. He wrote a Wikibook where he introduces several useful concepts and shares lots of engineering knowledge.
Difficulties
- Making actual potential workshop instructors in a short time. I (Tobben) have never seen a newbie that became a good instructor in < 1 year. Confirmed by MOST lab having separate (and very detailed) train-the-trainer program.
