good night sweet construction jobs: 10 3D printed houses in 1 day, cost: $4,800

[Herr13]

They have one of these printers (smaller version) at my college their expensive as fuk.

I made a wrench with moving parts out of plastic, its just as durable as a metal version. (srs)
You just design what you want to print off on a computer program then hit print
The possibilities are endless..

wow

[mada41]

I'm sure that's been said many times before in the past when new technology replaced the old ways

This.

brb the automobile
brb the airline industry
brb computers
brb the internet
brb brb brb

[Nicklol]

who cares bout dat

i want dose cheap houses!

[DasPhilosopher]

wow

mostly plastic mixed with different alloy's and obviously some aluminum.

[CCAurora]

The scary thing is that they eventually want to print food (srs)... could be a serious issue for the health of our grandchildren

print food? SERIOUSLY? i would never eat plastic food. brb turning into a hippie and buying at trader joe's.

Seriously though, put out concreters, carpenters, tilers, bricklayers, etc. and it all adds up. We aren't talking about the few Car Manufacturing companies, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of companies that will be left with nothing, therefore have no income and reflects on the economy.
Trust me brah, this is too far.

[Klomf]

Is it just a shell or does it come with wiring, plumbing, etc.?

[TypeZero]

I can guarantee this won't happen, at least in well establish countries such as USA, Australia, Germany, etc.
Construction industry is the one of the largest industries in pretty much every country - put this 3D printing chit into effect and the whole economic system will colapse - guaranteed.

History says otherwise.

They'll have to adapt. If these 3d printed houses are proven safe and viable, it's going to happen. All those trades people will have to move on to other professions. There are very few safe and essential careers that have higher chances of surviving technological progression. Everyone else should expect and prepare for the worst.

well, times change. people have to accept the change or get left behind.

You obviously don't understand accelerating computational power and its soon to be effects on the labor market. Unemployment will be at 50% within 30 years.

automated check outs
automated parcel/food delivery
automated cars
automated construction
automated taxes (new intelligent software)

the list goes on for ever. past circumstances have allowed people to find employment elsewhere when computers/robots took their jobs because computers were not yet good at generalized reasoning and physical capabilities. those human advantages will be totally eroded within our lifetime.

There's other potential fads you'd have to worry about before 3-D food.

Can confirm I was phone

[BillySitch]

No rebar though? gl hf

[Krunk Fu]

I bought one 3D printer and I'm currently printing new 3D printers. Going to make a killing off selling these bad boys...

[rfp]

Would be a good idea for temporary homes in disaster areas. Kinda like a blow up bed. Or a tent. My ? How do I buy stock in this

Mine was $570 when I bought it and it makes small wrenches, pieces, etc...The prices will come down ofc


and yes...Loving the possibilities....Especially when metallic printing gets better. BRB Printing a specialized transmission tool, copying a key, or printing a can opener.

Singularity poses too great an existential risk on all humanity, even the creators, for many of this to be realized once the technology to do so is available.

[gharamlifter]

That is actually pretty cool for poverty countries

dasitmayne.
brb earthquake and floods in phillipines
brb one year to clear debris
brb one year to rebuild all those destroyed homes
mebbe.

When they can make my families home ill consider getting one




not srs

well the technology for most of the things on that list already exists, mostly were just waiting on legislation to legalize it into practice. Drones are already doing deliveries in the United Arab Emirates, driverless cars are already cruising the streets of California, as you can see from the OP a lot of construction is already able to be done using 3d printing tech etc.

none of that has achieved technological singularity yet. not what I'm referring to.

[titantyrant]

the future of machines seriously has always scared the **** out of me srs

im not college educated etc but everything is so simple now. i used to look at the **** plumbers made back in the day drains and stacks made with copper with the bends and junctions done by hand. no way this is done now far to expensive and slow. Also in my class i was about one of the few guys who could oxy weld well most of the class always used rehau to do water and gas services. so much cheaper faster user friendly. the fact within 20 years there will be almost no need for anyone to work construction scares me, there will be no need for any workers in mines WA australia im pretty sure already has dump trucks that work remotely.

like the fuq kindve work are people going to do, fix machine, maintain machines what else?

there will truly be the "working class" and the upper elite and thats it.

More like the welfare class. Without jobs it will either become a top down welfare state, in which taxes on corporate profits pay for the subsistence welfare of the masses or the entire system will just collapse.

[Parkerscott]

Im not too sure why everyone is jumping on the 3d printing bandwagon now. Im willing to bet its going to be a very long time before 3d printing anything is really practical. It took me 8 hours on a 5000$ printer and about 4$ worth of plastic to print a simple design that didnt even print correctly. Factor in the know how to create the file, change the printers settings, add a raft etc,etc,etc and they just are not practical at the moment. 3d printing has been around for a long time and its probably just going to dominate the rapid prototyping industry like it always has. As for 3d printing homes, you can probably build a monolithic dome much larger and faster and cheaper.

[PISTELERO]

Is this the begining of the end? Srs


If 3d printers print literally almost everything then will the world be way too overpopulated compared to jobs and will that lead to either a mass extermination or mass comunism

[seanb1979]

its gonna be crap quality... plus you need to do electrical, plumbing, ventilation, insulation, flooring, so many other things its not worth mentioning

[LiftsWithGloves]

Is it just a shell or does it come with wiring, plumbing, etc.?

lol this.
brb no water
brb no toilet
brb no shower
brb no heat
brb no electricity
brb no fridge
brb no phone.
brb no internet.

you don't need a 3d printer to make such a chit house for 5k.

[LtGoose]

LOLz @ everyone on that potato 3D printer time

1. Acquire 3D printer
2. Start making 3D printer parts in 3D printer
3. Build a second 3D printer
4. Repeat
5. Profit

[CapnSumTingWong]

This is nothing, srs they are going to be printing organs and body parts soon, brb we livin forever
