This is amazing! Really innovative designs and ideas. As 3D printing is a new technology, even on Earth, I wonder if there are traditional designs using bricks or other materials created from the native soils and rocks that would potentially have more understood construction properties and lifespans.

The additional bet of building something on an entirely new planet an entirely new way seem risky. (but awesome, if someone from NASA is reading this; don't stop)

I assume initial habitats will be inflatable since those are easiest to transport.
