Gravity becomes relevant.
Structures increasingly become sparse trussworks.

At some point tidal forces, self gravity and the
limits of the solar systems resources become relevant.

About standard components and size scales

Smaller components are generally more fundamental and reusable than bigger ones. The smallest components though have

in their assembly process. This is hampering reusability. So the sweet spot of reusability may lie in the middle size scales with microcomponents.

Most of the basic mechanical circuit elements will likely be components at the smallest scale that allows for nontrivial geometries (crystolecules). But bigger mechanical circuit elements at the microcomponent scale may be of use as well.
