Build ergonomics - the level of effort for a build, can be evaluated meticulously. We need to define:
- Number of steps
- Weight involved
- Time involved.
- Complexity
Any single step can be defined as one operation with 2 hands. For example, take a nut and insert it into another 3D printed piece. That is One Step.
Counting the number of steps as such gives an idea of build complexity. A build with 3525 steps - with a minute per step, would take 60 hours to complete. That is a realistic estimate of, say, a tractor build.
About one minute per step is a reasonable, rough estimate for many actions. This principle is an effective way to assess overall build time: simply take the number of steps: say 254 - and guess that it it took ~4 hours to do a build.
