Working in a hardware store has really shown me how much we need #OpenStructures
We have a whole wall of sockets for socket wrenches, around two dozen imperial and two dozen metric, and the differences between them are so minuscule that people have no choice but to bring the thing in and just keep trying sockets until one fits. And that's not even mentioning the whole aisle of different screws and nails. 90% of this stuff could just not exist, since they serve the exact same purpose as the other 10%
The solution is standardized, open-source #modularity. If you're one of the heroes building the new world (aka #makers) please make it a world that works with OpenStructures
Boosts appreciated

Since the site is down can you give TL;DR ?

@andrewmurray86 @solarpunkgnome Here's a great Low-Tech Magazine article on it
@socalledunitedstates
Yeah, that's how I found out about it originally, I think. Low Tech Magazine introduced me to solarpunk too.

Do you sell machines I can play my library of 500 Betamax movies on? Or adapters that will make them fit into an iPod Nano?

I emailed them a little while ago and they said they're hoping to have .STLs up on the new version of their database for 3D printable objects. It's a bit fiddly to replicate things from it ATM.
