I am not an EE but my understanding is the time varies a bit based on complexity of the design (ie how many layers) but that even if you're willing to pay a multiple of the basic price the shortest you can expect is 2 months. There's physical steps that simply cannot be sped up more than partial inventory simply sitting around in a queue. Googling real quick agrees with that impression.
There's just no way the current approach will get to the days turn around the top comment was betting will happen in a few years. If there was anything even remotely promising that with commercialization in a few years we'd all have heard about it loud and clear.
Likewise, the support equipment, the chemicals involved. There's just no chance of current fab tech becoming a 3d printer like table top device. That would require a revolution even bigger than the original chip revolution.
