What's the biggest thing a 3D printer can print?

I really wanna 3D print some large fractals (anywhere from 3ft to 6ft tall/wide/long. I know it might be on the more expensive side, but Google's not being so definitive on what and all it can print. I know when it comes to what I have in mind--a giant Menger Sponge--all I'd have to do is print several smaller iterations, and then glue twenty of them to form a larger iteration, as many times as I need to. But theoretically... how big can they print?

Most people simply don't know that's why you're not finding a definitive answer

It means they don't have much faith in their product and aren't really concerned about it that's not gonna change just for you

Umm... 3D printers are one of the trending things, and is *quickly* growing as an industry and is in *heavy* demand.

I doubt most people can actually afford them there's probably alot of interest in them but I doubt the sales match the interest

Depends on printer size, or how many interlocking pieces. With a 4D printer you could fractalize the world. (insert evil lauggter here)

xDDD
But this was a serious question. There can't be any interlocking pieces here. Would destroy the nature of the Menger Sponge.

All I wonder is how I'm going to keep spiders out of the tiny holes O_O

Make it levitate with magnets or something. That would be cool.

China construction companies use huge 3D printers to create walls of buildings. I imagine they can be scaled to quite a large size.
