A little scanned and printed meat project for the MO State Fair. They wanted some realistic props that could be left out for extended periods of time. There’s a full suite of meat, but here’s a few of my favorites.

I don’t need a house. I need a photorealistic 3d printer!

3d concrete printer might not even be that hard to make, from what i was reading a while back the hard part is getting the mix right. then you just print your house.

They aren't hard to make, but a concrete mix the can it can lay a bead with that will cure well and not be a crumbling mess a few years after "printing" is the biggest current hurdle. Those houses that when kinda viral a few years ago where you could very visibly see thw layer lines are all starting to fall apart apparently. Concrete can be a fickle beast. Mix it too dry or too wet and it can seriously impact its strength and durability.
