Look forward to seeing more things like this in the future. Possibilities for large scale printing are pretty exciting.
 
Yes indeed, this is a fully demountable structure made of 5 parts with concrete joints based upon woodworking dovetails on one axis and more standard bolted joints up the spine. The drain and services are integrated into the part also
 
Ahh yeah, it did say that there had been new posts between me opening the thread and then actually posting, meh, I am a bit slower than normal being 6 hours behind you guys...
 
I was on a project looking at doing exactly that but in terms of viability and carbon footprint they are nothing like being ready yet in my option.
 
Panels of which there are 4 take an hour to print an 2.5 hours to mill. Column takes 38 mins to print and 2 hours to mill
