Important fact: Not all kinds of self assembly need diffusion driven by thermal motion to work.
There is:
- Thermally driven assembly (aka "brownian self assembly")
- Longer range attraction force driven non-thermal selfassembly e.g. like how magnets can do self assembly at the macroscale

The foldamer printer concept where:
- Thermally driven assembly may be used to make the base vitamin parts that constitute that most basic building-blocks.
- The foldamer printer then performs some semi positional assembly of these basic building-blocks to larger composite blocks (or chains of blocks).
- Non-thermal selfassembly may then finally may self assemble assemble the even bigger products (that would diffuse only very slowly) to even bigger structures.
