Wasp-inspired setup 3D-prints complete homes for $1,000
The Crane WASP, also known as "the infinity 3D printer," uses locally sourced clay, mud or cement to 3D-print affordable homes. It can even use agricultural waste as aggregate. The system is now being used to build much-needed housing in Colombia.

180 grand for the printer? Holy cack that's peanuts. Just think what we could do if we spent the money on this sort of thing instead of giving it to politicians.
That's cheaper than a sizable house, if this works it's a really cool opportunity
The difficult bit is getting all of the utilities in there in a maintainable way I believe
Worst case you have a meter of traditional wall on the first floor. I like the concept!
Hell, even if it was off-grid, it would be an improvement over being homeless.
I know, right? Seems like a really cool project, and for that cheap, small non-profits could get their own.
