I'd like to second that 'Boys Toys' comment. As I understand it[1] Washing Machine are one of the greatest labor saving devices created. Villages also need to have clothes, food, communication, security. If you truly want to build '... Machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts', then Washing Machines, printing presses, clothes, and food mixers are much more vital than something like a '3d Scanner' will ever be. I have yet to meet a farmer that uses a 3D scanner. | : I'd like to second that 'Boys Toys' comment. As I understand it[1] Washing Machine are one of the greatest labor saving devices created.

:: I have to agree, some home appliances are much more important to the world than some of the GVCS machines. The world is hungry for Open Source machines like: Washing Machines, Refrigerators, Dryers. Many other such home appliances are not so important for building the world from scratch but they would be adopted very fast, radically transforming the world in super-fast time, and making the OSE project much more visible.

CEB
CEB Press-I've found a company that will sell a CEB that produces two bricks a minute for $1500. http://www.ferncometal.com/brickfactory.shtml
My interest in the CEB stems from construction site visits in Jordan, Sri Lanka, Dubai and Oman. Interlocking bricks opens up a huge labor pool as skilled masons are not necessary. Any work on interlocking CEB at Factor E?
