My friend Matt at Printable Scenery now has a Kickstarter site: 'Winterdale', a beautifully designed modular medieval fantasy citadel collection for 28mm gaming. Each Winterdale model is delivered as a .stl file pack to be downloaded and printed on a home 3D printer. Each piece of scenery costs about as much as a cup of coffee to print, and you can get a good printer for as little as US$399.

This is the same company that printed my beautiful Maori pa:

But was your Maori Pa printed on a $399.00 USD printer?

Picky, picky, picky.

Cyrus asks the important question. :)

For 28mm terrain, any of the printers that will print at a 50-micron level of resolution should work fine. A light sanding would knock down any of the terracing effect, and good priming and painting would cover up the rest. Most desktop printers seem to print at the 100mu level, which might take more prep work but wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility. Printrbot makes a $400 USD machine that would probably do the trick.

I would question why you would design rigid modular buildings with 3D. I'd go for something with a higher visual appeal that takes advantage of the 3D technology.
