This is pretty much "home computing" all over again -- in the early days
it basically entirely home built (or well maybe a "kit" that needed a
decent bit of knowledge to get going).

Then came the explosion of vendors (Commodore, Apple, Sinclair, etc.),
that eventually coalesced into IBM Clones / Windows, with a small
hanging-on of custom builds (and Apple...).

Though, I somewhat think that 3d printing isn't going to quite coalesce
into "just buy our stuff", especially if it comes handcuffed to "...and
use our DRM-locked filament that costs twice as much".
