Always wanted to see this 3d print home...they finally open it....nice...but I agree supposed to be cheaper than regular house...but end up same price....thx u for posting

[@chriswright8074]

If these aren't cheaper than regular houses it doesn't matter we need homes under 110k

[@jgwill]

Even if a house is cheaper to build, they will always be sold at market value, LOL!

[@lblepus]

I like the more consistent and regular bead layer of concrete with the ICON 3D printer. Looks a lot more finished and high grade.

[@dragdubs]

such clean lines

[@70newlife]

Thanks for posting. Those groves are going to be a dust magnet and extremely difficult to clean.

[@beegee22]

Yup - those ribbed walls are not quite ready for prime time. This technology is still at the novelty phase.

[@christoffesedao3579]

Still a cool house. Earth itself is a dust magnet.

[@ericw7754]

They lean pretty hard into that 3D printed aesthetic. I have a feeling people will be plastering those walls in a year.

[@dalebowman3666]

Sounds very Lively acoustically.

[@Nitakis]

Cool!

[@adatshhc]

Very annoying that they promised a low cost housing solution.

[@ChristopherTrott]

Its got to be an improvement the shoddy way Texas houses are built currently

[@lajuanahobson1622]

What insulation is inside the walls to keep the pipes from freezing?

[@dc1544]

Where is the ladder for those top shelfs in the kitchen lmao. I would keep a ladder handy. Overall this house rocks.

[@Kevin-bj2tt]

There seems to be a gap between the metal roof and the wall... maybe they could have used caulk? wonder why they left the space there in case bugs come in

[@xisotopex]

dont you realize that no house is hermetically sealed from the outside?

[@dc1544]

Taller fences would be nice.

[@jimmg8994]

I wonder how the electrical outlets and switches are placed? Is all wiring in the attic and they drill down in the walls?

[@lilwalks]

The walls are double layered

[@jimmysjohn141]

What happens when the plumbing in the walls fail? Plumbing always fail down the line. Also, these homes are under incredibly loose regulation so buy at your own risk. It is texas afterall.

[@arslanshakoor5248]

Evolution in house structure, very solid home. No mold and flooding, No siding to replace and no fragile drywall. Next step is to create roof with concrete and finish structure in two days. I am very amazed and hopeful with this technology. Future is amazing. And one phrase from Elon, Future should look like future like Cybertruck.

[@norwolf4765]

How much?

А что такие не красивые дома? Дизайнера не могли найти? Это гараж или дом? Американская мечта!!!

[@bsuddzen]

Please explain how the house is mounted to the foundation, Thanx!

[@lilwalks]

Good question: my observation is the mixture is poured directly on the concrete slab

[@scottstewart5784]

@@lilwalks There is 5/8ths inch rebar set in the foundation pour and sticking up every 4 feet or so. They print the wall around this rebar sticking in the air, by looping around it, creating like a vertical tube of air around the rebar. They extend the rebar up through the top of the wall (and the tube) with a threaded-on coupler. Then they fill this tube around the rebar up with grout. Then they affix an engineered, pressure treated board to cap the top of the wall, pushing the rebar through holes in the board, and then bolting the board on top of the wall, effectively completely attaching the wall to the foundation, and since the roof is affixed to the wall, it's also effectively attached to the foundation as well (within limits).

LOOKS MORE LIKE A UGLY DESPOSIBLE HOUSE

[@Ronsicle]

Imagine cleaning the dust between layers.

That's true😂

[@arkitekto323]

I wonder how one hangs the tvs and decor on the walls? If it’s screwed how do you cover the holes? You’ll need a specialist?

[@Jeremy9697]

My exact thoughts. Seems there are too many issues that can come from walls like this

[@raymondpeters9186]

Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time and pumice is one of the few building materials that can go directly from the mine to the job site ready to use without any additional possessing and zero waste Google all the walls of my house are made of pumicecrete Take care Ray

[@h2s142]

Pumice can absolutely grow mold its one of the issues with gardening with pumice

[@hiroya777100]

how much?

[@drkroots333]

Idk what happens when theres foundation problems. How much structural damage will there be to a 3d printed wall? Would it be repairable?

[@jn4519]

最高😃⤴️⤴️

[@jsm3737]

Why not use a 3d printer to build a wall between the US AND Mexico?

[@paulrinehart4262]

😂😂😂😂

[@SuperMrgentleman]

Looks super stylish, how much?

[@lilwalks]

$588K

[@SuperFinGuy]

@@lilwalks What's the point of 3D printing houses if the price is the same??

[@EddiXP]

​@@lilwalksthat's insane.

[@raymondpeters9186]

No gutters 😮

[@arslanshakoor5248]

No gutter means, no gutter to clean. Best part is no part and it means delete it

[@rjakiel73]

Starting at $475k.... 🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂 What a deal!!! Not

[@anunknownknown]

How to clean? Where the windows? Lots of room for innovation and improvements. Kinda like the first computers.....

[@rajneeshch3014]

why are they so expensive ?

[@bower31]

Cause the builder knows they can charge that much and make a ton of profit

[@youngjimmyt]

Curious of the final cost of production on this particular home.

[@lilwalks]

I was told this home price is $588k

[@Crawfish411]

Too damn much.

[@jimmysjohn141]

This tech was never meant to make homes more affordable. This was a lie. This was about minimizing the cost and maximizing profit. Anything starting off with a lie is never worth your time. Not a single home this tech has built and sold was cheaper than the surrounding homes. The "cheaper" they talk about is all regarding costs of production, not your cost to buy.

[@curtisolson6149]

How Many Floor Plans Available ?

[@bsuddzen]

Millions, actually no limits, maybe not in this project but overall for the industry.

[@lilwalks]

This community will have 8 floorplans

[@70newlife]

​@@bsuddzen Ultimately people care about what they can buy and maintain well.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

@@lilwalks He said the 8 floorplans plus different orientations resulted in 48 variations.

Imagine if your toddler scraped their face on one of those walls.

[@armandocasares6417]

Bet it sounds lk a cave in there 😂😂😂😂

[@godgoldgunsngolf6733]

Looks like padded walls at an insane asylum and I’m sure repairs are going to be a pain in the ass for something that cost the same price as a regular house

[@RoamingAries]

Why do we still make roofs with that huge over hang knowing high winds will get underneath and peep it back. It seems inefficient. But im no architect 😅

[@johnstuartsmith]

In hurricane country, a large overhang is undesirable. In places that aren't hurricane-prone, it's nice to have a big overhang to keep the rain and the sun off of your walls and your front and back porches.

[@sahogrygoryan7993]

Still don’t understand why you don’t build houses of bricks 💁‍♂️

[@thedoor5442]

Bricklayers charge to much per hour.

[@TheyRiseBand]

Only $600k. LOL

Then it not worth supposed to be cheaper than regular houses

y el revoque maestro?? i love 3d printed houses but i hate the unfinished look they give to them, it looks so pretentious. finish the work give it a warmer look dude cmon, it's a house not a factory....

Как делают перекрытия? Монолит, плиты или другой способ?

[@dc1544]

such a boring bathroom. This is a show house so make it so.

[@665Kattt]

Everything looks good except the metal roofs; they create too much heat, creating a heat island in the atmosphere. They're not good for global warming mitigation. Metal roofs should be banned.

[@johnstuartsmith]

Metal roofs don't "create" heat. They either reflect heat or absorb heat.
