The early-stage winner of the Gada/Uplift prize has developed the SCARA-based RepRap Morgan, which he is trying to get to the $100 USD price point and is not far off already. Quentin Harley lives in an area without easy access to parts sources, so has reduced the vitamins (parts bought from stores) count and simplified the overall design with an extensible arm acting around a central axis providing both X and Y coordinate transforms, with a common variable Z-axis. The first kits have only just become available and not in the US or UK yet (have to print your own) but that's the delightful thing about open source hardware designs.
