There are experimental construction printers that use concrete. Unreinforced, expensive specialty concrete, though, and it looks like they take more than a day to run on something big. And I assume sometimes fail like every other printer.
I’d also like to see the pitch on GoFundMe. “Yeah, we actually do have tax collection powers, but we thought it’d be better if you specifically paid for this. Lines are open”
Edit: Wait, are we talking about the bridge? Lol, so this is a kilometers-long bridge that has to float in a bay on a kilometers-long barge, and get lifted into place and fixed to an existing, differently constructed bridge somehow.
Don’t forget the pitch is “free to taxpayers”, so you gotta tax kindly ask for money from people who aren’t paying taxes and most likely will never use said bridge.
“Help us fund the next bridge disaster!” Is certain to attract money
This is true… However, the printed bridge is only 1 foot in length and made out of plastic.
He did specify a large 3D printer. So it might be 2 or even 3 feet in length.

The “lifting” is done by hand, while making fake crane noises… then placed onto a map.
“What is this? A bridge for ants?! It has to be… At least 3 times bigger than this!”
