I love the notion of 3D printed buildings in general. That said. I expect it would be possible to attach an automated "trowel"(or maybe plural), to the nozzle assembly, and have it smooth as the print proceeds. The patterns work with some structures/parts of structures, but it'd be great to have the option of a "baked in" smooth finish, where desired. And there would be a small material saving too.

Benchy? I imagine bridging could be implemented by adding fiberglass tow (ribbon) ahead of the extrusion with a bit of lead in and lead out to anchor the ends. Something like what electroimpact does with their fiber placement machines. The final print head effector reminds me of some sheet metal punch and laser machines that have a fast fine adjustment tool head to make up for the slow and inaccurate movements of the main gantry.

Extremely storm resistant, energy efficient due to the shape and low collapsebility. An army base could be built bullet resistant within days.
