What is the cost to 3D print a house? What is the cost to 3D print a house or rather the "walls" of a house? What is the cost to 3D print the walls of a house? Whenever there is a post regarding 3D printing of homes, we are tagged by friends and colleagues to respond to the advantages of moladi vs 3D Printing.

One excuse after the other of why the delay in transferring the funds.  We were asked by Dr Richard Mukurumbira to deposit $7,000 into  his personal account as an initiation fee. This we did immediately. As the funding did not take materialise, we insisted that he refunds the $7,000. It is now months later after he agreed to reimburse the funds, and we still waiting.
