Mr Intergalactic Keyboard<p>Website idea: a mashup of reddit and iFixit called “F these guys!” that surfaces/showcases 3d printable replacement parts and substitues for enshittified products. Things like replacement knobs for an oven, coat hooks, buttons for old stereos, car dashboard bits. Basically a pushback against planned obsolescence and the enshittification. Sure thingiverse and similar sites exist, but they are catch all. Difference here is a focused UI that encourages both models and replacement tutorials. Most stuff on Amazon is just plastic. The “vitamins” as the RepRap ppl call them are just a tiny portion of most manufactured goods. Website name is up for discussion. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/3dPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enshittification</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a></p>
