I remember spending about that amount in today’s dollars just for a minimally useable used b/w laser printer.
I’d hate to think what the polymer refills cost!
On one of the videos I watched, they stated that the polymer refill kits are about $150 which isn’t bad at all. :)
The prices are on the Internet. For example:
The UP! personal 3D printer from China, is designed and marketed to be an affordable and portable 3D printer for home use. It costs around $1500 for the fully assembled printer, with refill plastic costing around $50 per kg. It has a resolution of 0.3mm.
It's not dirt cheap, but it's cheap enough even if you want to make a garden gnome, let alone a firearm.
