Hi All
I'm new to the forum and have just started on the road to building my first printer - Prusa i3 and wonder how people got started did you buy a kit or got all the parts one by one? Posted here as I live in Leeds and curious about UK RepRap builders.
As money is tight, I've tried to buy the components one by one so I can spread the cost over many months. (many, many - but not too many months!
)
So far I've bought the following bits ...
- RAMPS 1.4
- RAMPS 1.4 -LCD
- Atmega 2560
- Various Bolts / Washers / Nuts - M3 & M4
- RAMPS 1.4 -LCD
and have a few more things on order - Pulleys, LM8UU and tepper motor drivers. Hopefully I can get the printed parts and rods next month and the frame the month after.
Has any one else gone down this road and are there anything pitfalls to this approach.
