I picked up a 3D printer off Craigslist two weeks ago for $240 (JGAurora Z-603S) and putting $40 in parts into it, I finally got it working last week. It took a week to print everything and finished it with some Posca paint makers in fine and extra fine tips. I suck at coloring, so its not the cleanest.
Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out - Knight Customs sells the STL files for $20. The print quality isn't as good as what you buy, but this is much more cost effective and I wanted it printed in red anyways. I have a newfound respect for the costs of 3D printed items.
