Yes this is what I've wanted to do for a long time, I think it's basically inevitable that it'll happen eventually but an actual effort to make it happen faster would be such a positive thing in the world.
The reason I say it's inevitable is because design tools are getting consistently better, hardware is cheaper than ever, and ever more useful stuff is being added to the commons. With ai assisted CAD and ai assisted manufacture we're going to see so many amazing new open source designs getting built.
People are going to start moving away from for-profit designed homegoods like washing machines and printers because they'll be able to get a community designed and tested product modified to their specific needs and tastes then have that fabricated at whatever local firm or tinkerer you want to give your business to.
the world will end before this will happen. You'd get killed if you tried it. Good luck though.
