A somewhat larger than usual 3D printer…

That dead-zone though…

It seems to me that a delta printer would not be well suited to this task.

I didn’t know what a delta printer was until I watched this video - https://youtu.be/uG-yoiFV85c. Now, I can kinda see how it could build a house in a day, but I don’t see how it can be done inexpensively. Factoring in the cost of constructing the printer onsite, I think, would make it expensive. The article mentioned including insect repellant in the mud mix. How could that work?

Building the printer may indeed cost more than just building the house.

@Mark_Rehorst this doesn’t appear to very portable though. I mean it has to be though right? They can’t just leave the printer there.

I wonder how sturdy it is if its made to come apart like that and be put together over and over again.

Here is a link to video of this 3D printer - https://youtu.be/CZMTQLVTJdA. This one shows aerial footage - https://youtu.be/yQ3bosKifkE

Where is the house this printer was supposed to build on September 18-20?
