Why so? Clay-hay is really solid, and if you ever make a hole, making a patch is as simple as making more of the mixture and applying it locally.



It's more that the designs you're likely to be building to take advantage of the fancy extruder are more likely to be the sort of thin-shell construction where holes anywhere cause structural issues that you wouldn't see with more discrete building elements. I was also thinking that if you've only got a hole in one face of a wall, you can't get to the back of the hole to support a patch, but I'm guessing that's less of a problem.
