So I saw this video today, about a 3D printed house that was printed in 24 hours for only $10,000.
Supposedly, the house will last for 150 years because it is made out of concrete!




What do you guys think about this? Would you buy one if it was available in your country?

As a college kid, I think this is really cool. I would totally buy one. I wouldn't have to pay rent, and I would have a whole house to my self. Only down side though is the house is 400 square feet. So it's about the size of a studio apartment.


Edit: added info I forgot.

It is actually supposed to last 150 years.
It is built out of concrete

Only printed for 10k. Bearing in mind all the services that would need to be installed including furuniture and is that 10k included in having a giant printer to use?

I'd never do this and I doubt it would ever be a thing

It would last quite a while actually. It would take the materials quite a while to even start wasting away. It's just a matter of do you want to live in this unconventional shape of a house.

I would personally rather just rent an apartment.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
I bet it costs $10k to make, then they'll probably sell it for like $40k - 60k
But if you get everything in that video for 10k that's a steal.

It would be interesting to say the least, if it only cost 10000$ then I don't see why I wouldn't live in one.

And think about how many more people could own a home. A house like this, if made widely available, could potentially fix the economy. If you could pay the mortgage over 25 years like normal, you're talking only $55 per month on a 4.5% interest rate.
My phone bill is more than that!
