Default 40 foot tall 3d printer prints buildings

I wonder what a good adobe block crew could do if their blocks were
ready made and just laying them out with mud.

What's that gonna do to the real estate market?
There's all read plenty of pre-fabricated houses out there!

My impression is this is intended for basic housing in less
developed countries to use locally available materials.


Looks like a solution in search of a problem.
I guess a gizmo that fits in the bed of a pickup and
cranks out bricks won't get enough media attention.


If you're suggesting soil-cement bricks in competition with a 3D
printer pumping out a similar thing, there's no contest. I worked on a
soil-cement project 45 years ago. It's labor-intensive and very slow.
The only place it makes any sense is in some place where people have
nothing else to do.
