That's a purdy truck. I doubt I'll be able to get away with less driving, as I need to transport tools to jobs, and that I cannot do on a floaty thing, bicycle, or afoot. As to locating print heads, the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon has recently incorporated lidar, which is presently limited in that device to accurately siting the first layer of a print. However, I can see that lidar can quickly be extended in utility for such purpose as we discuss. Not being a coder, I will be pretty slow (or more likely remain incapable) to add such functionality, while better minds than mine might well do so with facility. Even a relatively wobbly arm compared to solid cartesian printers might produce accuracy within acceptable limits by using lidar to continually correct print head location. I sure hope someone is already on it, at least.

The unimog is a wonderful truck... if you live in Europe. It has attachments! Even a backhoe.
Unimog owners like to brag how they pull humvees out of the mud.
It has a geared wheel hub (so the axles are way up, but top speed is 50mph)
I would make one for america, but there are things i haven't found a good solution for...
like tires. Those tractor tires are great... if you are on the farm. Shitty if you need to drive interstate. Which you do a lot of out in the fly over states. So, what kind of tires? And that basically decides the rest of the truck.
I found one here last year, but it was $10k with bad brakes, and I have other objectives than squandering my fortune on Mercedes truck parts.
