What could be some of the more environmentally-friendly ways of producing supports like these?
I'm using 3d printing and SLS currently. I wonder if there are ways to use recycled materials on a small scale (tens maybe hundreds of units).
Maybe even make it out of recycled paper/cardboard? I have no idea where to even start researching that.

In May #lowtechmagazine was invited by the Folkwang design school in Essen, DE to give a workshop on #smallscale #energy #systems. Together with a team of students, we spent 5 days experimenting with solar and human power.
Using PV panels and simple electronics, we created direct-drive solar power installations. We hacked several broken devices to make them run on solar energy and even had time to build a new bike generator!

GB's #PettyCapitalism applies to #OpenSource #SocialMedia -- not #progressive apriori, crucial #affordances require further work to create an #AntiRacist space here.
Georgina Born (#SoundStudies scholar & former member of #experimental #rock group #HenryCow) explains the value of #decentralized #media like the #Fediverse:
"#PettyCapitalism – a term I take to encompass myriad #SmallScale forms of entrepreneurial, commercial activity in culture has been one of the key means by which progressive #leftist, #AntiRacist, and resistant forms of culture, #music, & #art have been made possible: have been produced, circulated, and lived...
