The Prusa is an open source 3d printer capable of producing parts in engineering grade materials IE nylon and polycarbonate, with what many consider that most stable results of the technology.

Kits are $749 3-4 weeks
Finished $999 3-4 weeks
Lead times vary on machines from Prusa itself.

 It is estimated it currently costs around ~$450 for parts for a Clone.

8.4. PC (Polycarbonate) and PC Blend
Polycarbonate (PC) is a technical material with great tenacity, tensile strength, and heat
resistance. However, it’s very hard to print, therefore suitable mainly for advanced users. However,
this doesn't apply to our Prusament PC Blend, which is significantly easier to print compared to
other polycarbonates.
