I've been thinking about this and while Fenspace would have no shortage of raw minerals and inorganic materials and lots of Havwavium ultratech, and can just about stomach having it be self-sufficient in basic foodstuff (even though importing from Earth, where you don't have to build the agricultural land would be MUCH cheaper), I can't see them being able to produce much in the way of basic hardtech manufactured goods, without nanotech or magic replicators (and you'd need to think long and HARD about the consequences of that - because you'd be dealing with a post-scarcity society). The population and logistics don't support it. Either you have people hand crafting things that are cheaply mass produced by 'dane factories, or you spend a lot of time and effort building massive factories that'll produce more of one particular widget than fenspace would be able to possibly consume.
That's a lot of processed food (Pizza, Coke, Wine, Marshmallows and Pocky, for a few examples off the top of my head), simple tools (penknives, soldering irons), cloth and clothes, clocks, torches, computer discs, electrical cables, matresses, bookshelves, cooking pans, washing up liquid, vacuum cleaners, carpets, agricultural machinary to produce the food Fenspace grows and a whole lot of other stuff that you'll need or want that it would be insanely tiresome to have to produce. Try thinking about the supply chains that go into producing a simple pair of jeans. Did you consider the factory that provides the electronics that control the machine that makes the tyres of the cotton harvester?
I can easily imagine people having things like 3-d printers capable of running off a solid metal object like a frying pan. But what about something with moving parts? What about the non-stick coating on the pan to stop your eggs from burning? - Then think about your buds you're cooking for who don't have biomods . . . yet.
