After some testing, I built a MFM that outputs 27 diamond blocks in 5 minutes. That's not a bad output, particularly for a MFM that doesn't require solar arrays, geothermal power, etc. 12 overclockers isn't a bad limit either, because having the MFM power itself makes it easier to duplicate. The pneumatic tubes, timers and filters still have to be manufactured manually (but people can build factories for those), and the rest (condensors and starter blaze rods & redstone dust) can be condensed from the output of your first macerator.

This MFM uses 5 condensors (1 output to turn into diamond blocks, 1 to convert blaze powder to redstone, and 3 to convert blaze powder into rods) and 5 filters (1 per condenser except the output, and 1 to pull from the macerator). And maybe a dozen or so pneumatic tubes and a couple restriction tubes for simplicity. I can post a picture and instructions if anyone's interested.
