Tiny Space Automall

This design is intended for use on space platforms, if you want to be able to craft anything just by setting a request on a combinator and having the raw materials available. It automatically calculates and crafts intermediates. Blueprint uses a train wagon for testing but can easily be placed on a space platform. The combinators could be rearranged with cut-paste to fit into otherwise wasted spaces on the platform. Feedback welcome!

Hmmm, first of all, cool stuff! Second, can you modify the print such that its clear how to use it? That is maybe set up a demo with all ingredients available in the print? Or make a small video? I find it hard to use otherwise.

Just try putting some iron and copper plates in, and some steel, for example. Turn it on by enabling the On/Reset combinator. Request a few items in the Requests combinator. Belts, inserters, a car, you name it. It will make use of existing intermediates in the wagon if available, so you can save it some time by supplying things like circuits, gears, etc.
