If you have enough money, you can technically do so right now. The only thing you wouldn’t be able to print assuming money was no object and access to certain tools was readily available are the magnets for the motors. At least I don’t think… Can you melt a magnet down and reshape it and it still is magnetic? 🤔
There are metal fab printers and the way circuits are mass produced is also, essentially, 3D printing. You couldn’t do a print-in-place type print and make a completed printer. Unless you combined everything into a single unit. Which would be expensive as fuck.
