Prove me wrong, space lego is better than printing. Printing on the Moon either requires lots of water(best used for rocket prop instead), importing plastic from home, extracting sulfur from dirt which requires lots of surface infrastructure, or sintering dirt. Sintered dirt is a bit brittle though. But if we make the dirt into bricks, then one small fracture can't propagate through everything and fug everything up. Arch like structures with interlocking bricks can support pressure loads. Pic and link related:
