Have you looked at printable cardboard miniatures like Printable Heroes? You can pick up plastic bases for them pretty cheaply as well, and you've got a full set of miniatures for probably <$20.
Now, I know you're looking for terrain, but you could look for - or create - printouts in that style for things like walls, doors, pillars, trees, etc.
A quick search for "papercraft terrain" also seems to pull up a number of resources for free paper models you can put together with folding and tape.
Edit: It looks like "Fat Dragon" has a line of such products here: http://www.fatdragongames.com/fdgfiles/?page_id=41 - at ~$5 a set it might set you back a bit to get a workable set, but you could then print out as many as you like

milk cartons, soda boxes, egg cartons, old styrofoam etc. can be very useful if u have some hot glue and a box knife, also the youtube series, The DM's Craft offers very good advice and I can definitely reccomend it
Lego is expensive, but you could get Construx or some other off-brand for much cheaper.
Something I've seen at craft stores are those big sets of cheap plastic army men/cowboys/dinosaurs that often come with some fairly basic terrain. Thrift stores in general are a good place to find cheap stuff you can use for your games... if you're really passionate you could even take these cheap, junky pieces and repaint them to make them a little nicer looking, but most players won't complain either way.
If you're in the US, hit up the Dollar Store: the Mini Jenga set on toy aisle is great for walls, logs, and benches. The wooden cubes on the art supply aisle are good boxes, chests, stumps, rocks, etc. The Christmas aisle might have some trees that will be okay along with any buildings that look in-scale. Get some foamcore poster board to make dungeon tiles, doors, and small structures.
I am trying to find alternative/cheaper methods of making battle maps in 3D for example a firm foam block to cut rooms Into
Dose anyone have any suggestions for what to use or search for, any and all suggestions would be amazing because I have no idea what to search
Depends on how 3D you had in mind.
