Cause of death: the autopsy
A hands-on test on the farm's own machine found Claude with free open-source CAD tools gets these parts right in 1 to 3 attempts, free generators already exist (for example for Gridfinity bins), and a slicer preview catches the rest. The report filed them as commodity: don't sell. Its rule: if a hobbyist can do it in an afternoon, it's a feature, not a business.
The numbers
None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.
Could rise again if
The report left no way back.
Evidence
