Prefabs are, correct me if I'm wrong, made using current technologies, which are more expensive than just printing off a few walls, a base and all the other stuff.

Current technologies can't "just print off a few walls". Are you comparing current-technology prefabs with future-technology 3D printing?

Also, the 3D printer is potentially much faster.

Much faster than this?

Perhaps. And probably cheaper too. Also, I don't think that was taking into account the time it took to make the parts, or the shipping times.

And yes, I am comparing current pre fab tech to 3D printing. I apologise if I wasn't clear.
