== Requirements for approval of Distributed Enterprise goals ==
*It is an enterprise, generating income?
*Does it dog-food its own products?
*Is replication of the enterprise at the core of its strategy? (Does it train its own competitors?)
*Are there free licenses on all source code and design files?
*Other ethical requirements?

Hopefully, we'll also be able to formulate some goals.

'''Troublemaker 1:'''
 
*Proprietary formats for some of the files, AutoCAD (dwg) - [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:263814]
*NC license - license incompatibility issues. Need to resolve if we use any of these files.
 
'''Troublemaker 2:'''
 
*Blog Post 1 - [http://irnas.eu/other%20projects/2015/08/28/troublemaker-v2/]. Design spec is to be full open source hardware.
*Blog Post 2 - [http://irnas.eu/other%20projects/2015/12/07/new-generation-Troublemaker-3D/]
*License not stated at repo- [https://github.com/IRNAS/Troublemaker2]
 
'''Lulzbot'''
 
Lulzbot has an open source bed leveler. http://lulzbot.com
 
'''Prusa Mendel''':
 
It was the first printer to be realistically build-able during a weekend workshop[https://ia600801.us.archive.org/17/items/3D-printing-podcast-prusa-mendel/02-3DPS-josefPrusa-reprap.ogg] (this was 2009-2010). It's printed parts took 10 h to print, compared to the 20 h of its main contester at the time of release, the Sells Mendel[https://ia600801.us.archive.org/17/items/3D-printing-podcast-prusa-mendel/02-3DPS-josefPrusa-reprap.ogg]. Many Reprappers wanted to print printers for their friends at this time, so it received a lot of initial interest for its short print time[http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,70314,70447]. It established a reputation as easily customizable.
 
Josef Prusa was active in the community[http://blog.reprap.org/2011/11/prusa-iteration-2.html], listened to feedback and the git repo was updated almost every week. Mean days between commits on master branch: 5.5[https://github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel]. He would travel the world giving workshops, and managed to pay airplane tickets by pre-selling the printed parts to workshop participants.
 
Estimated number of Prusa or remixed Prusa printers by January 15 2014 worldwide, based on retailers' summed estimates[https://archive.org/details/3D-printing-podcast-prusa-mendel]: ~70000 to 80000 (300 of these printed by Prusa himself)
 
He currently sells printers assembled and kit printers[http://prusa3d.com/] through an OSHW enterprise. Most customers by January 2014 was companies[https://ia600801.us.archive.org/17/items/3D-printing-podcast-prusa-mendel/02-3DPS-josefPrusa-reprap.ogg].
 
== 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 [http://www.appropedia.org/Athena_Build_Overview build] the printer and how to [http://www.appropedia.org/Delta_Build_Workshop host a workshop]
*Gathered [http://www.appropedia.org/Evaluation_of_RepRap_3D_Printer_Workshops_in_K-12_STEM 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 [http://www.seed-factory.org/ Seed Factory]. He wrote a [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Seed_Factories 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.
