There was a project on Kickstarter for a low cost 3D printer, we finally received our kit last month, and it's working pretty well now.
Usable build area is about 180mm x 180mm x 180mm. Resolution is about 0.2mm, with a 0.5mm nozzle, and up to .1mm vertical layers (although that's pretty slow to print).
Here's our printer, with some test prints in ABS plastic. It's really tough stuff!

I'm going to try printing out an AR15 lower to try with our M&P 15-22, when I get a chance:
