>>hobby level stereolithography printing
If you mean printing stuff with resin, that's already a thing, you can modify a projector and make a very good stereolithography set up.

Because of the way patents are, you might even better building one yourself than buying one.

As far as powder sintering type processes go, I'm doubtful that it will be possible to get good prints with by DIYing them.

Sintering stuff is hard as sintering scales with T^4, meaning very small temperature differences can cause big problems. Not to mention you need a heated build chamber and an inert gas atmosphere to print.

A company back in 2009ish tried to make a home version of a powder sintering machine, but failed miserably. Interestingly though it didn't use a laser and instead used a really bright lightbulb, so it might be worth looking into again...
