I have some tutorials that illustrate shapes that could be done on home printers, but you'd need to add supports, and that would make them difficult to clean later. Some people have done them successfully on home printers though. I recommend MeshMixer for adding supports. It has a feature that could add them automatically to most objects.

my printer software does it automatically.. and surprisingly easy to clean off, seems even better/easier when using higher resolution prints.






Hexagon, Carrara, Sculptris, and recently Sketchup.
