Great. Please tell me what you have in mind? We have designs and build protocols for swarm builds. Collab could be that we reduce build cost ($60k material, $40k labor) for a 1400 sf 3 bed 2 bath by $20k using simple plastic 3D printing. See reduction plan - https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Seed_Eco-Home_Materials_Cost_Reduction#3D_Printing_-_Wood-Plastic_Lumber_Composite_and_Components_-_$25.9k And the larger framework using more of our machines is this - https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/SEH_Cost_Savings Design for SH4 is here - https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Seed_Eco-Home_4 Now note that none of this is real without industrial grade product release of the material production technologies in question, including skid steer at commercial grade. Each is about $1M a pop to develop, comparable to industry standards. We are bootstrapping this with house sales at $100k net a house. So collaboration could be cost reduction or development of machines. Or, you can just use our techniques, but without the 4 year training, your labor cost will be $120k not $40k, and without the machines we can use only stock materials off the shelf. What are your thoughts?
