Open Source an der Front: Wie die Maker-Bewegung und freie Software die Ukraine verteidigen – und warum uns das alle angeht - rialO Technews

Über 18,5 Millionen gedruckte Teile, 473 Tonnen Plastik, 803 Freiwillige mit 953 Druckern – und ein Katalog mit 500 Produkten, die es nirgendwo zu kaufen gibt. Die ukrainische DrukArmy zeigt, was passiert, wenn Open Source und Maker-Kultur auf eine existenzielle Bedrohung treffen. Eine Geschichte über Widerstand, Technologie und die Frage, warum deutsche Maker jetzt handeln sollten.

Great tip from #DrukArmy 👼 for those who want to support #Ukraine 🇺🇦 from abroad:

If you are far from Ukraine — for example, in the United States, Canada, Australia, or Israel — and would like to join DrukArmy, there is one important thing to keep in mind. Printing from far away is often economically inefficient: a significant part of the money ends up being spent not on supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but on logistics and shipping printed parts to Ukraine. In such cases, it is far more effective to donate directly. We will purchase filament here in Ukraine and immediately put it into production. This approach is faster, cheaper, and delivers real impact. You can support us through our official website, where a dedicated page offers several convenient payment options. https://drukarmy.org.ua/donate If you want deeper involvement and a more personal experience, there is another option: you can directly support individual makers who are already printing in Ukraine. By donating to them, you receive feedback — photos and videos of the printing process, behind-the-scenes updates, personal stories, and reports on how much has been printed. It’s a form of interactive remote 3D printing. You don’t spend money on buying a printer or filament abroad — instead, you help fund a printer that is already operating in Ukraine and printing for the front. From an economic perspective, this is far more efficient. This is exactly what Vladimir from Australia did. He donated 2,018 UAH directly to our volunteer Yurii, who operates five 3D printers. Yurii is retired, and covering the ongoing cost of filament on a fixed income is financially challenging. Thanks to this support, his printers were able to keep running and producing much-needed parts for the front. We are sincerely grateful to Vladimir for this help 💙💛 If you would like to do the same, just send us an email, and we will match you with a maker you’ll feel comfortable and happy supporting.

Some #Ukrainian companies and foundations provide funds to cover the printing expenses. This funding model allows #DrukArmy to supply parts directly to the military for free.

Тіньовий ОПК. Як тисячі українців з 3D-принтерами побудували великий збройовий завод

Тисячі українців друкують на домашніх 3D-принтерах запчастини і готову продукцію для потреб війська. Як низова ініціатива допомагає нищити ворога.

Економічна правда

#DrukArmy, a #Ukrainian grassroots 3D printing cooperative, supplies our defenders with crucial equipment and parts for drones, radios, and rifles.

They leverage a network of 10 000+ 3D printers across #Ukraine and abroad to produce much-needed supplies for the #Ukrainian army and deliver them straight to the frontlines.

In two years, what started as a purely volunteer initiative by a popular blogger #Yevhen_Volnov, has been scaled up to a major production –
