When I saw the Rostock, my first thought was that you could use that
design to make a 3D printer of any size in any location. Imagine
driving into the woods, finding three tall trees, strapping on some
cables and motors, and 3D printing a house! Admittedly it would be
hard to make actually work (with ropes stretching, rain, etc.) and
printing a house might take a very long time, but how cool would it be
if you could pull it off?!

Well using Aircraft cable/wire rope instead and printing with Concrete and maybe it could happen. That would be very different from frontiersmen using an ax to make a house…

That's my thought too, use concrete and something like the cable you see
used on cranes for huge loads and you should be able to do it. My other
thought is if you used crane booms you could make a somewhat mobile
large scale printer like this. Just a few booms to upright like a radio
tower (take a day to do?). How feasible printing with concrete would be
is another question I can't begin to answer. I also imagine you might
want to be able to pump sand or something else that might be cheaper
(and easier to remove) into there to let you do concrete flooring/roofing.
