It was just last week that we saw the cheapest assembled 3D printer become available to consumers around the world. That was when New Matter’s MOD-t 3D printer launched their Crowdfunding Campaign. Priced at $149 for the first 500 backers, $199 for the next 500, and $249 for the rest, it proved that 3D printers could be cheap enough for most consumers to at least consider purchasing. One man, by the name of Tarkun Gelstronic has taken this a step further. He put himself out on a mission to create a 3D printer for less than $100. What he came up with was really quite amazing.

The only parts that he ended up purchasing, were the Arduino Board Mega 2560 (10 Euro), a Stackable Motor Driver Shield (6 Euro), a Hotend (20 Euro), PTFE tube (6 Euro), a fan (2 Euro), and some additional small parts (5 Euro).
