I've printed prusa parts, but it's pretty boring. Why not try a RichRap delta machine?

Reprap 3DR is what I was thinking as well...I wonder how cheap one could be built for?

Approximate costs...

4 motors = $80-100
Capable electronics = $130-200
Hall O boards = $50
Hot End = $50-100
Printed parts = $50 in material
Hardware = $100
Power Supply = $50

It could be done for around $500
