Build ergonomics - the level of effort for a build, can be evaluated meticulously. We need to define:

  1. Number of steps
  2. Weight involved
  3. Time involved.
  4. 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, and this can be
