OSE's goal remains that a home workshop can produce 12 quality controlled kits of the OSE 3D printer, in 8 hours of work.

This scenario allows for efficient productivity on a distributed scale: consistent with funding many OSE developers in doing OSE work. This is consistent with OSE's goal of mass creation of right livelihood via open source economic development.

This works with OSE's 2018 revenue model for the small 3D printer - which is designed for an Extreme Manufacturing build with 12 printers completed up to perfect print quality in a one day workshop. This also means that the modular quantity is 12 - so multiples of this can also be done in a conference-scale event of up to 100-200 people (Dunbar's Number). This is also relevent to building Village Campuses on demand in many locations around the world, with a $2k-$20k entry cost per participant to buy out at the bottom (pending 4 years of immersion training).
