This whole "3D Printing" nonsense is getting a bit too much. People seem to have this idea that a 3D Printer is some sort of sci fi 'replicator' that it can make ANYTHING!

What it makes, is Plastic.

For making toys, statues, odds and ends, and now even guns. Sure, Plastic is fine...

But a building? Get back to me when it is putting down concrete and sculpting stone blocks on its own...
3D printing technology is capable of printing plastic, rubber, metal, concrete, stone, and food. The technology is quickly improving, and basically any material you can imagine will be able to be 3d printed if it isn't able to be already.
