Whatever happened to 3d printing?

Seriously thought I'd buy a $25k house by now. Figured it was the trailer park of the future. Where a years wages could secure a roof over your head in my boxer shorts.

What's the hold up?

Useless tech like Google Glasses™ or Blockchain™

Technology just isn't there yet - but I don't see a future where having a 3d printer at home is a standard.

Plastic 3d printing has gotten pretty huge though, it's now an integral part of a lot of businesses. Concrete printing is a meme though.

Boomer building codes

shit like this appeals to people who don't understand building science. Maybe in 10 more years, maybe in 20 more years, maybe in 30 more years

i don't understand building science. why can't i 3d print a home? is it because of all the pipes, and wires, and shit it needs?

this shit appeals to me because I don't understand building science. THAT'S THE IDEA!

I don't see a second fire exit in that gif. No way that shit is up to code.

this is amazons prefab houses. $160k for a 400sq foot box.

>No rebar
He's basically building a mud hut with robots...

houses are already made of cardboard. the expensive part is buying the land and then dealing with bureaucracy for permits and employing people. You'll probably need to employ less people but you still need people to come watch that machine and set it up and shit. ultimately since the houses are being built with cheap shit as it is, this all appears to be just a wank if you're going to get land and permits anyway. might as well borrow the additional money at 5 or 10 x leverage very cheaply to just build a regular house

you ever work on a house from the 70s? I just redid all the electrical in one, the place didn't even have a ground wire in all of the metal fucking boxes they used. no GFCI outlets and clear burn marks all over the walls where wires shorted. building codes are a welcome change.

i hate boomers so fucking much.

this is marketed at rich boomers though. boomers love ADUs because it allows them to play landlord from the comfort of their own property without creating any new competition for their actual house (which they will have made the zoning prohibit building any more of by now). usually ADUs can be added somehow in zoning, so this is basically a weekend project for rich boomers to become airbnb landlords with socialized leverage most likely. 160k for that is absurd if you're not already rich and have extra land to use because of your leveraged homeownership in a bull market

At this point I'd gladly live in a cuckbox

3d printing houses is a joke... there's potential in 3d printing complex metallic mechanical components though

Pre-fab, standardized and nationalized designs is a much more realistic way of keeping build cost cheap. However that in itself will generally make the property market aesthetically boring unless society became a totalitarian hivemind, which is quite soon unironically

too long, too brittel, lot of room for fuck up, still require manual labor after.

per-assambled homes or containers houses are the future of cheap living

If we developed a goo that could 3D print most consumer goods, and then recycle them back to goo, I could see it. Want to play tennis? Print a racquet and balls. Go play. Recycle racquet and balls after. No need for a closet anymore. Just print what you want and recycle it.

It may take a while. Books went from, nobody trusts written language, we've always done an oral history of our people, to hand written papyrus leaves, to a printing press, to home printers, to kindles. Give 3D a little more time before you decide the possibilities have peaked.

>thermal control layers
>vapor control layers
>water control layers
all need to be intelligently selected and integrated into a functional system.
>e.g. you will have 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 inch thick walls by the time you insulate this and add the necessary control layers and exterior cladding interior control layers (if any) and interior finishes.

Kek, 70s houses are the worst of the worst.

That should be like 40 grand even in a dcent suburb....

It's not a joke, just in it's initial phases. There's a company here in austin that's making custom 3d printed houses. Once the siding and roofing is done you can't tell the difference between it and regular houses except the 3d printed ones have a 1/4 of the workforce.

I think the biggest roadblock to it taking off will be unions and local building codes. I'm also not sure which is cheaper, on site 3d printing or lego prefab homes.

20k tops for some shit like that.

Also, what would the cost be to get one of these out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. The only thing I fucking care about is fast internet.

Buy a fucking singlewide.

Fucking cheap.

>buy trailer with property already set up
>at least $65k for one that's not complete trash

>cheapest property is $15k
>impact fee is $15k
>$30k before you even buy the trailer

FUCKING BOOMER YANKEES GO BACK NORTH REEEEEEE

it would costs thousands per hour for the equipment and take several days. A 'pick and place' machine for ordinary blocks would be way more cost effective.

Additive manufacturing is still being built it's simmering on the back burner, getting the tech ready for adoption.
