I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

    3D printer that can print fully-populated functional electronic devices. Design or download a schematic for, say a new camera or phone, make whatever modifications I want, and just hit print!

    Basically a replicator for electronic devices…

      Ooh this reminds me. A device that can run a hashing algorithm on an electronic device, to detect if even a single transistor is different than another device.

      Because atomic variations are allowed, the resolution of this device needs to somehow encapsulate electronic connections and gates.

      There is conductive filament but… the scale is huge. It’s also possible to etch circuits at home with e.g (can’t find name from kickstarter) etch/laser/CNC combo for about $4k but arguably if not in rush ordering online to a dedicated fab with make something way better and cheap, with multiple layers. But yes, would be neat!
