3D-Printed Houses Are Already Failing - Megaprojects https://youtu.be/nRLqld_jD_g

I watched this video a couple weeks ago and it's pure click bait. He discussed one single instance where a known scammer takes advantage of a poor community and doesn't do what he said he would. The video completely ignores all the progress the printer manufacturing companies are making and only devotes like 60 seconds at the very end to mention that the industry is improving rapidly.

Here's a Tested video from last year where Adam visits one of the manufacturers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=orurGdrlzIs

3D house printing has been a scam from day one. Not cheaper, not faster, not more reliable and they cannot be altered or upgraded in the future. Questionable R values.

These turds got pinched out but will all be knocked down in a decade.
