sure there must be a few details missing for skeptics but it just spells doom for the "conventional" housing market. Even though the look can be improved, inside it seems pretty cool
================================================== ===

PassivDom uses a 3D printing robot that can print the walls, roof, and floor of a 380-square-foot model home in about eight hours. When complete, the homes are autonomous and mobile, meaning they don't need to connect to external electrical and plumbing systems.

Building a house by hand can be both time-consuming and expensive. Numerous homebuilders have chosen to automate part of the construction (i.e., by printing the home’s parts) instead.

A new Ukrainian homebuilding startup called PassivDom uses a 3D printing robot that can print parts for tiny houses. The machine can print the walls, roof, and floor of PassivDom’s 380-square-foot model in about eight hours. The windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems are then added by a human worker.

When complete, the homes are autonomous and mobile, meaning they don’t need to connect to external electrical and plumbing systems. Solar energy is stored in a battery connected to the houses, and water is collected and filtered from humidity in the air (or you can pour water into the system yourself). The houses also feature an independent sewage system.

PassivDom’s homes, which start at $31,900, are now available for preorder online in Ukraine and the US, and the first ones will be delivered later this year.

Check out the homes below.

PassivDom — the first totally autonomous house in the world.
Even in Arctic climate conditions.

Absolute autonomy – freedom from electricity transmission lines, gas pipelines and plumbing

Wherever you are – in the centre of New York or high up in the Andes Mountains, PassivDom will create the ideal living conditions.
The house is 100% energy self-sufficient, it heats and conditions air and has a water storage system.

The 3D printer is printing solar panels?

You are just a dot in the matrix.. Printer.

And amongst the fleet of writers, publishers and advertisers that made this article and link a possibility.

I think it's wonderful how you can live in a field. It's very green and no smog, or roads, or factories, or neighbours. With trees and streams and chirping birds. Except someone has to truck it to location and make a level footing. And then everyone else will come and plant their house and then the rubbish will pile up and couples will fight and kids will be screaming and the cable tv doesn't work and there's no phone reception and ..... oh well.

$32,000 to build and the Tax Appraiser will value it at $250,000.

Put a fake tongue and fake wheels on it and call it a travel trailer.

Great idea and good groundwork for the future. One obstacle will be any county building codes you will encounter in the US unless you find some wilderness spot in Alaska or the like.

But after the crash it might be a boom investment.

I would watch tiny house, big living and tiny house hunters on the teevee. IIRC, a tiny house would ordinarily cost you between 20K to 60K depending on building material, size and if you intend to build it yourself. It is not much difference in cost. I'll be interested when it costs under 10K. A new car, with all these little parts, made by all these unionized employees costs 15K. But printing out something that only takes 8 hours to print costs 32K. The economy of scales has to work in sometime to lower the cost.

As the conservation of energy scientism-ists will shout at you, there is no free lunch. Stuff costs what it costs. The only time stuff doesn't cost what it costs is when some costs are left out through some kind of trickery such as: get now pay later, get now and cost shift to someone else, make the thing in someone elses back yard and let them clean up the mess left behind, use someone elses resources and export/import finished product (i.e. processed resources) to your location. There's probably a few other options I haven't thought of.

Find some mud and make it out of mud. Shape the mud into rectangles so people don't think you're a native. Make the tiny house a rectangle for the same reason. Don't use tree leaves for the roof, again for the same reason. Save everything (money, resources, environment)

There is free energy technology but it won't get released because they want slaves, slave wagers and debt slaves. The same is true for housing. They want slaves, slave wagers and debt slaves. State college tuition used to be free or nearly free in the 50s, but they want debt slaves. Slaves, slaves, slaves. They make stuff for NASA that last 50 years+, but for the masses, stuff breaks the next month, they want slaves, not free people with tools that last. The whole society pushed people into slavery.

I have been watching vids about Microbial Fuel Cell for more than 1hr now and believe that this could rival solar panels. But lets not hold our breath... the cartel must hate this

do we know how long the batteries are good for. Or how many were needed in total?

The houses of Parliament could power the whole nation on B.S. alone.

actually that is the inherent problem with solar, batteries can easily become a threat to the environment.

But in those examples/videos, home-made microbial fuel cell, does not require batteries

ok sorry, I miss spoke. Do we know how long the fuel cells are good for and how many were made in that example?

I was thinking the same, I'd rather have an RV. You are not going to raise a family of 4 in that.

well, when talking of batteries, I was referring to conventional ones... in these experiment, mud/smuck is the battery and collected from a pond. Electric bacteria are fed with a "sugar solution" so they can stay alive and reproduce.

I only have watched home-made lab experimentation but will watch what Bruce Logan (Microbial Fuel Technologies) says later today about any possible industrial application

"The windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems are then added by a human worker."

Which will ofcourse take twice as long and require twice the man power as any normal residence...
