As the top comment points out - not only the modeling is difficult, but printing is difficult to. What comes out of a 3D printer is not equivalent to what comes out of a blister pack.

At the low end, everyone seems to be providing FDMs. 10 years ago, I would have put my money on Z-Corp style parts at the low end (though they are not really practical for use at home without some significant post processing).
SLS would also give you higher resolution with the option of materials, little waste, and a nearly ready-to-go part out of the machine. Anyone know if there are attempts to bring that to homes?
