Sub grid self assembly tractor beams
Not Enough Votes
This is a weird idea that I am borrowing from fiction.
I watched the Iron Giant film the other day with the children, the Iron giant was able to re-assemble itself with the parts of it had become separated.
Apparently there is a problem with printing grids with sub grids.
My thoughts are that if the parts were printed separately, that the sub grid halves could pull themselves together at the correct settings via some sort of a tractor beam, like the Iron Giant would.
This may seem far fetched or exploitable to some, but at least it is a conceptual method for things to work.

An engineering build system that would end up looking like something from transformers.
Block halves would only pull in the corresponding counterpart.
Beams may need to rotate parts to align as they are pulled close.
