    I don’t think you know what modular means. 3D printing a house has nothing to do with modular building. It is pretty much the opposite.

    “essentially extension cords” for the electrical??? Sweet 10 pound baby Jesus, I’m in an argument with a 12 year old.

    I’ll be right back, just need to finish putting on my clown makeup before continuing.

      Modular refers to something constructed from standardized, independent parts (modules) that can be easily joined, rearranged, or replaced.

      So…. almost like if they print around some modules that have standard hookups you wouldn’t need tradesman?

        A 3D printed house is not something that fits this. At all. If you think it does, we will just have to agree to disagree.

            We might be thinking of different things. The interior is somehow different? I know some might frame up drywall to cover the concrete, but what are you talking about the interior parts as?

              No, can you not buy “kitchen units” where you are? Premade kitchen cabinets with installed appliances?

              All they need is water/gas/electrical hookup and you’re done after sliding them in. Lots of outdoor kitchens go this route.

              Hell they even make modules for high rises here that they just crane in that are complete bathrooms. Like the ones that are for a dozen people.

                All true. Still need the hookups though! Those water lines did not magically sprout up out of the foundation. And this has nothing to do with 3D printing.

                Still waiting on the examples of the single technician installing anything electrical at all.

                Not a “well in theory”. I was told one technician was out there building an entire house. I have yet to see a single example of this, but I guess I just gotta believe.
