TikToker daniglaeze (@life0fdani) has been sharing what life is like living in a 3D-printed home. She recently shared a video detailing a few things people might not know about going 3D.
Since the 3D printer dispenses a special blend of concrete, it saves on a lot of labor and material costs. This is more cost-effective and eco-friendly, Dani says, also due in part to the reduction in waste. Additionally, 3D homes take much less time to build than conventional homes — small ones can even be built in just 24 hours.

Dani shares that 3D-printed homes are rapidly gaining popularity worldwide, especially in disaster-prone areas. These homes are much more resistant to natural disasters, like earthquakes and hurricanes, and are also extremely energy-efficient, adding to their appeal.
"I want one," one viewer said.
3D-printed homes are being looked at as a real solution for affordable housing. Since the cost of building these homes is lower, it makes them an attractive option for low-income communities that often lack the resources for conventional builds. Organizations like ICON and Habitat for Humanity have already used 3D printing to create affordable, disaster-resistant homes.
Dani also acknowledges the drawbacks that come with living in a 3D-printed home. Because of how thick the walls are, maintaining an internet connection throughout the entire house is difficult. Nevertheless, she's been able to find a solution by using a Wi-Fi mesh system instead of one single router.

A lot of folks in the comments had questions about the home, like whether you can hang artwork or paint the walls, and even whether the home can maintain a temperature well. She actually details a lot of the answers to the most common questions in another video.
Dani's video shows that while 3D-printed homes aren't perfect, they offer an exciting glimpse at how future housing can be a little bit greener.
