Martian 3d printer

Here's an article about current ideas to deploy 3d printers of future manned missions to Mars.
It points out the problem of transporting masses of filament (or other printing material)
Have a read.......

I think the most interesting thing is that there is a belief that up to 90%of local material could be used, substantially reducing the amount of, and therefore the transport costs of, the printing materials.

I'm sure it would be easier to send a giant 3D printer up there to build stuff than actually build it here and send it.
