- lstodd 1mo agoyup. haha. imagine 3d-printing a TEU. Or a container hauler.
- m4rtink 1mo agoWell, that is going at the problem from the wrong direction - you should use a 3D printer not to print everything, rather to print tools and fittings to manufacture what you need from local resources. In this case for example a saw making tool & make the beam from local wood using 3D printed gauges.
- t098i3 1mo agoWood you harvest and cut yourself is not going to match an I beam on strength, you need engineered wood for that, which involves adhesives and composites. Not to mention, lots of places on earth don't have local wood suitable for construction...
