Compass is an opensource handheld CNC router that you can build from a kit for less than a third the price of industry equivalent, the shaper origin. While this may not be directly solar punk I think the fact that is opensource makes it related. Also, it can enable people to build structures and furniture more easily with plans shared online. I envision making beautiful benches for bus stops and community gardens around my city.

    That’s totally fair. It isn’t cheap but the price is amazing compared to the Shaper Origin which is $2,900.

    I also like the maslow which is more accurate over long distances so it would be better for furniture.
