I just got home and saw there is a big concrete pump a few houses down that I think is the 3D house printer. I will definitely have to walk down for a sqiz once it's cool enough this evening.

a printer house eh, what could possibly go wrong

Runs out of filament - or if concrete, just fil.

They're not a bad idea. The concrete is still reinforced (or it should be) and the process is quicker than traditional brick-laying.
