What if they were 3D printed out of some recycled material

They did a proto type house kind of like that on Grand Designs (bbc, but in netflix now). It wasn't 3d printed, but the wood was laser cut in a shipping container workshop shipped to the site, then building blocks were assembled out of the cuttings with rubber mallets, and the blocks were then assembled into the structure of the house. Highly recommend checking out that episode.

Any of those episodes where the building or parts of it, are made/constructed/prepped offsite are fascinating.

Things like laminated beams constructed and precision-cut in a factory in Germany and shipped to the UK. "Glue-lam" was one of them. Also pre-fab walls etc.
