“Home” 3D printers range from $500 as Nils mentioned all the up to $3000 for more refined models. The major difference being a balance of how technical the setup will be (the low priced ones tend to be kits) and also how much head-banging-on-wall will be involved before it starts to churn out decent prints. (But the community out there is pretty helpful so its not to hard to get help and advice along the way)

The consumable for 3D printing are plastic filaments and they range from $30+ to $60 and up per kg depending on where you get them from. Once again, there is always the price x quality tradeoff.

Depends how much you value your time. All “desktop” printers are very time consuming and require tons of fiddling and tweaking.
