The conveyor system for their products seems like it would improve productivity. Would also bee a good route to explore for things like automated print farms and microfactories.

How would we go about making these?

We could perhaps 3D Print Segments and interconnect them (Almost like the lego vehicle treads) but this wouldn't have that great of a seal (especially for powders like dirt, although it could work

A Belt Bed - 3D Printer may work

One concern with fdm parts is if the surface fiish is an issue

Another option could be a modified precious plastic extrusion machine. Perhapss a long flat tube

Also off the shelf is always an option too.

A simpler, but perhaps leff efficient method, that would only work with powders, and small pellets would be auger pipes with input funnels. Throughput may be an issue, but perhaps more than one (2-3 ?) could be used to make up for this.

Either way this seems like a not 100% needed feature, but definetly a useful option as less labor would be required (no bucket dumping person, or wheelbarrow in between each device (soil mixer/crusher, and CEB Press) thus reducing cost by AT LEAST 1 person's wages (unless the maitnence/construction costs outweigh this), and efficiency and production may increase

All in all we should look into conveyor belts, and how to design/make them
