Local Make

Local make

Ikego parts and sets are intentionally designed so that they can be produced in small local workshops with little effort. This means you can commission it locally from a craftsman just around the corner. Find one – for example a carpenter or a Fablab – and send them a) the link to the set you want, and b) this link with info for local manufacturers.

Ask for a quote. If the price is right, order it. Done. That’s all. It’s called “distributed manufacturing”. Change your neighborhood, change the world.

DIY

Ikego tries to create and share designs that are easy to make. If you have some skills, you should be able to make many of the models shared on this site yourself, in your basement or at a local open workshop/FabLab. And you are allowed to! Did you know that in most jurisdictions around the world you are allowed to make even patented or otherwise IP-protected things for yourself? As long as you make it for your own personal use, it is perfectly fine. So if you have the skills, go for it. If you are not very handy hire a local craftsman to make a design for you ↑.
