IDK, I definitely don't consider novelty a requirement. Someone who makes a chair or a machine like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgTnfTqycV0 is clearly a maker even if they're just making what many others have already made before; arguably the embodiment of the maker spirit is making something yourself even if someone else's solution is both available and more useful.
