And if you have a 3D printer, you can make your own pieces and share them with others.

I really wish that an affordable desktop chip fab was a thing. Maybe with graphene semiconductors it could be feasible.

It's affordable today, but only for big orders in the millions (e.g. someone like Valve is big enough).

It would be super cool if small batches (hundreds) were feasible, but I don't think there's much demand there since that's where FPGAs come in.
