World Maker Faire 2012: John Robb,"Building Resilient Communities"...
John Robb, in this excellent talk at the recent Maker Faire puts into focus the proper counterweight to what we're doing here on line. Actually not so much a counterweight as a necessary complement... to get grounded in real life and make sure our personal situation and that of our community is set up to be resilient, to be able to withstand whatever difficulties may come our way as the current system falls apart...

"You have a real farmer, a real man, and a real, physical piece of land that you can – indeed you must, we insist on it – go and visit.

Their technology is a leap over currently available 3D printing tech kits. Compare the two whistles in the picture - the top one is current tech...
They have spent some years on this already and predict to have a professional quality printer kit ready 3 months after the close of the funding campaign.
3D printing is one of the technologies that are indispensable for independent maker shops to be the distributed manufacturing points in a future p2p society.
