    Thank you all for your replies. However, I am not asking if anyone has printed out walls and built a 3d model, I am wondering if anyone has actually printed out a plan on a 3d printer and had success.
    Thanks,

    I seriously doubt it. The cost of a printer large enough to make a model even 1ft x 1ft x 1ft, is extremely high. Usually around $20,000.
    Most 3D printers under $20,000 produce 8"x8"x8" or less.
    An interesting note: a company near me makes a printer that will print stainless steel or bronze. They start a $1,400,000, the company is ExOne.
