Seriously, though, we use printers to set up chem assays, bioprint solar films, and lots of other stuff here.
Your problem is you think it's a difficult problem, when it's really more of a Costco run or drop by the commercial supply warehouse kind of issue.
Could the average person print clothes? Yes.
Would they have to stop being lazy, download the specs, get the supplies from the appropriate locations in sufficient quantity, and cut out the fashion and supply chain middleman? Yes.
Do you have a Z Z Alpha requisition form for pre-conceptual authorization to think about putting a robot at risk?
Is it filled out in triplicate?
If so, you may now think about doing this.
(caveat: the article clearly states soldiers have no problems sending robots to die, but they like to have a funeral or memorial service for them if they die - not the same thing)
Actually, if you live near the gulf coast, building a house that can float, and using the first story as a garage and for washer/dryer/mudroom is a very useful thing to do.
In Vietnam and many nations they build houses that are essentially boats on poles that float up when the rivers periodically flood.
Just go to the Seattle Times and read some of the actual scientific research from one of the world's top research universities in the article (two-part) on climate change
Now. Stop whining. Do something. But get your head out of the sand.
If Yellowstone goes, it would have a much bigger impact.
The main problem is incubation period and death period. If it infects but kills off quickly, it's not the same as a long incubation period with moderate lethality, as this allows it to spread more widely.
Personally, I'd be far more worried about other risk factors.
Office hours are the one resource few students use, and yet have the highest reward ration for learning, since they are 1:1 instructor:student.
Another trick is, after the lecture, walk back to the prof's office or to his/her next location with them - you can almost always ask any question and get an answer, since the material is fresh in both your mind and theirs.
The cold hard reality is a 3 credit course means 15 hours of studying a week plus 3 hours of class time, or 12 hours of studying with 3 hours of lab time and 3 hours of class time.
When you spend less than that, and don't repeat things by review, you short circuit retention and understanding.
Not that this is a self-selected group that likes to learn things by video review and doesn't care that said method does not work for everyone.
Now, for a literature or arts course, you can substitute time spent in discussions (a form of studying) and critique (including field trips), but for sciences shorting the class time only works for people who get it right the first time they read something. Which is a very small subset of potential students.

You're not getting it.
The questions are:
a. What 3D patterns do you have.
b. What 3D materials do you have.
c. What 3D printer do you have.
Nobody said this would be cheaper, easier, or more fun than going to a mall and spending 3 hours trying to find parking before your car is towed.

You must be a consultant.
Nope, I cure incurable diseases.
How about you?
you can print real cotton clothes that are completely washable on a 3d printer? where do you get the raw cotton for it to form into clothing?
You asked "can you".
Asked and answered. Your supply chain problems are a different issue.
Free Speech!
Oh, wait, messed up ... only got the middle finger.
But you could send the robots to prep the site for humans.
And then do a replay of the film "Moon".
Why not just change the space program from NASA to a Reality TV show in Space?
Getting voted off the moonbase would have real consequences ...
Seriously, robots?
Why not cyborgs or droids too?
Discrimination by the classists!
Um, dude, that changed a long time ago.
Probably because most NATO forces already had women in combat decades before the US did.
PTSD does not discriminate against either gender, but has a correlation with explosions and pituitary expression.

So, I hack your spouse's car and you hack my spouse's car, both while we're out of town at conferences where there are no electronic connections.
The perfect crime.
All thanks to "autonomy".
I predict an upsurge in "unexplained accidents".
Mostly because they use the NSA spy program to identify the ACs and send the mounties to snowboard them.
(caveat - they don't waterboard except in summer)
Have to agree that all this focus on End Game - whether in Diablo or in WoW, totally cheeses me off.
I hate end game. Everyone shouts and yells and gets upset if you don't do it perfectly - it's a GAME. you're supposed to have FUN.
At least GTA V never had a cash auction house.
Which is why I switched.

To be frank, this is not a very high death rate.

Most places allow you to pay cash to buy a "filled" stick-on pass.
Originally used so DV victims could avoid tracking. You stick them in your glove compartment when not in use so your vehicle is not tracked.
Maybe in literature it's twice as much time, but if you do that in hard sciences, you are unlikely to get a good grade.
Try 4-5 times.
Yes, that means spending almost all of your time learning instead of gaming and parties.

Right?
Next thing you know you'll want it to talk to the iWatch.
Oh great, fat sloppily coded apps on my cell that run slow and are made by people with no idea that they have to get along with everyone else.
Just what I need.
It's like the 2/3 of apps on the store that are basically wrappers around garbage.
That said, this is why I'm looking forward to the iPhone 6, not the 5s.
First it's by frosh at Northwestern.
Second it ignores that tenured profs might be doing research most of the time.
Third it's by Northwestern students.
Did I mention the Northwestern part?
Using their little mechanical gear limbs to rub their legs against their wings.
