Not really - PCBs aren't something that can be 3D printed, at least not
at the kind of scale that is needed for modern VLSI designs. Like, you
*could* print a PCB, but it would be much, *much* less efficient than
even a ten-year-old (or a *twenty*-year-old) piece of computer
hardware. So while the sentiment is admirable (and I do agree with it),
it's not as simple as you make it sound.
