i can see if being done if you coat the thing you made with epoxy later.
I have done super ghetto things like making aluminum foil molds for pouring epoxy into, coated with olive oil.. I don't see why you could not make a skeleton out of something 3d printer (hand held) and coat it with epoxy. Sounds kind of useful actually. Big time saver..
might actually be quite strong too. it will just look kinda bad and not stack well. then just weedle it into shape using a knife, file, dremel, etc. kind of like making a composite using a wicker basket.
alot better then some bullshit made out of water logged cardboard, but again if you coat cardboard with epoxy its also strongs... but this would allow very interesting geometries to be made easily without fixtures etc
the only thing I would worry about is brittleness due to age/UV.. it should be fairly dimensionally stable.. you guys are acting like he is trying to make a crank shaft for a muscle car lol
also, a benefit to using a hand held one is that you don't have fixed dimensions, only your patience and cash reserves. You could build something 12 feet long if you want.
