“It’s possible. Even a guy in the tiny, impoverished African country of Togo has done it. For someone living in a low-tech society like 33-year old Kodjo Afate Gnikou, spending $800 for a desktop printer is a little steep. So Afate constructed his own working printer from junk, mostly spare computer, scanner and inkjet printer parts he found in a local dump. It’s believed to be the world’s first 3-D printer made from e-waste. The printer cost Afate about $100 to make, mostly because he had to buy a new motor. It is lovely, functional and can make a few basic objects. He crowdfunded the project on the French-language site Ulule.”
