Why? Restricting it in this way doesn't make sense to me.

If we have a common design them surely we want people to be able to build their own, or buy a prebuilt?

Why is the CC BY-NC-SA stopping me to build my own?
I didn't say it did.

If it is a noncommercial licence then it removes the other option to set up a business selling these pre-built. Not everyone wants to build a printer.

No, it doesn't: I can build a machine described in an All Rights Reserved book. CC BY-SA-NC grants additional permissions on top of that, but it doesn't remove any. You're thinking of patents.

I mean, the licence says that I can't...
