Quite the accomplishment.

It's sad that one can't see the filament spool in this video. It's probably an impressive thing. 🙂

My guess is that it's not filament as we know it, but a container of some kind of composite material that is prepared in real time as the printing progresses.
I know of similar large concrete 3d printers that take wet concrete mix and extrude it to print.

Yeah, that's probably correct. I still like the idea of a huge filament spool, sized like a cable drum for industrial use, containing filament that's an inch thick. 😀
