Welcome to the forums. You are in the right place. You can get a 3D printer --- at least a descent one for around $500. There is a kickstarter project going on now for $299, but we don't know if it will actually pan out or not. It's the M3D (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...mer-3d-printer). You can also build your own printer, but that would probably be more than you are looking to get yourself into.
