this is just for one assembler looooooool
am i doing this right?

Depends on your goals and constraints. It's a very energy intensive way to produce copper wire. But if energy isn't a problem, then it's a very assembler efficient way.

It's a very resource expensive production system, utilizing expensive components to produce copper wire. With more space, you could produce the same amount of wire with less energy consumption and less modules.

Ultimately it's a question you have to answer yourself.

Edit: One thing I'll say is that 1 copper produces 2 wire, so if you fully utilize one belt of copper, you should be getting two belts of wire.

Factoring in the productivity bonus, this ends up being 2.8 belts of wire.
