With both Animation Module and Durable Handicraft, any creature that enters the battlefield under your control, or +1/+1 counter being placed on your creatures, sets off the combo: 2: Create a 2/2 creature token. Nissa, Voice of Zendikar is a convenient, manaless token producer too.
Obviously, this isn't the same as Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek; notable differences being that there's no life gain attached, the mana cost is increased by a full 100%, and it almost always will require a third party to make the tokens/counters. Hyperbolic title aside, I think the comparison does bear some examining. Thoughts?
Whirler virtuoso with 3 Decoction Module as seilaoque pointed out above is more likely (and probably still not that likely) to be a thing for a combo deck. 2 mana to make a 2/2 with no evasion is just not as good as 1 mana to get a 1/1 with flying and 1 life. Add in the fact that you need to cast another spell or use another ability to make a creature to start the chain and it's just not even a comparison.

you could even copy the artifacts with Saheeli Rai or Saheeli's Artistry.
I think this standard might create a combo deck... at least there's a possibility
