I hope 3D printers will be more affordable so everyone can buy it like they did with copier and fax machine

They are currently cheaper than a copier, the ink is just expensive

If you mean a gigantic concrete one, then good luck.
If you mean a reasonably sized one for printing plastic, you can often find the Ender 3 Pro at Microcenter for $100 with their "new customer" coupon. It's very much an entry level machine, but well worth $100 if you think you're interested in the hobby.
Filaments vary in price, but $20/kg is a reasonable estimate. A 1kg spool goes a fairly long way.
As a disclaimer, 3d printing (especially with an entry level machine) requires more knowledge and tinkering than a standard printer. It's not quite an appliance where you click a button and that's it. 3d printing can be frustrating at times.
