Hey everyone,
I'm building a reprap prusa i3 for the first time and was wondering how I can get the frame for it. I'm hoping for a single sheet aluminium frame, but would consider getting a box frame if it's significantly cheaper or easier to get. Thanks.

You can make the box frame yourself, there are plenty of instructions on the reprap wiki and YouTube on how to do it. The aluminium frame is usually sourced from a local metal worker with a water jet cutting machine. Expect to pay around $100 for it. The box frame will set you back around $30 for the MDF, $10 for the screws and your time to cut and assemble the peices.
