There are some projects out there that do the entire frame. Steppers, hotend, and control boards are out of reach. There's some hypothetical ways you could do it, but it'd be far more expensive than buying off the shelf stuff and probably get worse results. Even the frames tend to take a lot of filament.
It's more of a nice idea than something practical.
