You can't 3D print laying all the pipe and the electric cabling and adding fixtures and insulation and all sorts of other things homes need.

You can 3D print the basic structure. That's it. You're saving on bricklaying or carpentry.

And the second that it is economically viable the companies will be dumping their bricklayers/carpenters down the drain and replacing them with computer controlled construction methods.

Yeah, like how blacksmiths can't find any work these days anymore. It's heartbreaking.

There are artisan blacksmiths that probably make bank doing custom jobs like blades and ironwork gates and other such artistry.
