Specifically, electrical conduits, electrical boxes/gangs, plumbing/piping, and paint-free interior and exterior surfaces could be printed.

(The labor of painters, plumbers, electricians, etc is significantly reduced). Also, the printed plastic serves as a print-in-place form that can be filled with concrete for strength. Finally, this should enable architectural designs that aren't currently practical/feasible. All the things below are related to this greater printed building concept (concrete bones and plastic skin, veins, nerv
