3-D Printed Castle

[Kirk Freeman]

Man invents concrete 3-D printer so he can print his own castle.

If we can do this, soon we will be able to do anything with 3-D printing.

Be afraid, .gov. Be very, very afraid.

Man 3D-Prints Castle In Back Garden Using Concrete Printer He Invented

very cool. They will figure out a way to control it.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Oh, they'll try, they'll try. They'll also fail. With 3D printing, gun control, among other things, has become an obsolete concept. Those who seek control cannot conceive of the world that denies them what they desire, and will inevitably be unable to bend it to their will. I have only Schadenfreude for them.

Holy crap that's awesome.

You wouldn't download a car, would you?

It's hard for me to imagine the cost of developing a printer of that scale for concrete.

Amazing work none the less.

I bet it's cheap actually once it's designed. Probably much cheaper than human labor for final cost too.

My dream of having my own castle is closer and closer to reality....next, sharks with friggin lasers on their heads...

I'm sure it is too. I'm just thinking about the design and dev. costs. He obviously has a few more pennies saved up than I do.

Even if you can print a castle in your backyard over a weekend, what's to stop local code enforcement wonks from beginning to fine you $1,000,000/day for having a non-approved structure on your property? After all, they still want to exercise prior restraint where structures on YOUR property are concerned.
