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 should be known. Commercial 3D printer companies SHOULD have this listed on their website >.>

I don't see why there should be any limit to it, though; although printing what I have in mind may run into a few thousand dollars due to its complexity and size.

Well this is a new type of product it'll take some time for sites to catch up and it's not really a big commercial product so it's probably not something sellers are really thinking about

That doesn't mean that I shouldn't be able to find size limitations on their products. It's a *very* important parameter.

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
