The material is a plastic filament that comes on a spool, usually 1 kilogram per spool. There are different plastics but the most common is PLA. This exact one is here on Amazon for $23-- $0.023 (2.3 cents) a gram. You can find some as low as $15/kg.
It's plastic, and the model is mostly hollow, so it's pretty light. This model is 55 grams, times 2.3c = $~1.27.
That's not counting electricity, printer maintenance, etc., but yeah the material itself is pretty cheap.
