This might be the time to jump onto the 3D Printer bandwagon. The place that provides cheap good quality cables looks to now be the place to pick up a cheap and reliable 3D printer. At $200 it has some features that you wouldn’t expect to see such as a nice full color display to view settings such as platform temperature so you can easily keep your eye on the status. Looking for a review, Hackaday did a good one.
