  • Your 3d printer doesn’t have other utilities to accommodate. The printing is basically just the walls. Every other utility (Power, water, sanitary, HVAC, foundations, windows, doors, metal fabrications, networking etc) are all still done by people, all made with options made by other manufacturers.

    Your printer also uses quick setting thermoplastic, not a concrete slurry that needs to set over the course of days instead of fractions of a second.

    This and typical FDM printing are related, but truths about printing out a plastic trinket don’t necessarily translate to large concrete structures.







  • Did you read the article or watch the video?

    Of course deserts have low humidity, but there are areas where in the early morning winds from off shore bring in humid air for a small period of the day. This can be harvested now with nets, although the article and video cover using electrified mesh to increase the yield.

    If you look up for harvesting the first photo in the link is from a desert in Chile. It’s been studied since the late 60’s.
