Hello
I'm a beginner on this forum and in the world of 3d printing, so I might ask something that has already been asked but I need an advice.
I have been reading this forum and the reprapwiki for a while and try to collect the necessary parts for a 3d printer.
I have collected the followings:
RAMPS 1.4 controller 1x 15 USD [

MEGA 2560 +USB cable 1x 15,92USD [
www.aliexpress.com]
SD Ramps 1x 4,3USD [

Nema 17 6x 69,12USD [

LCD 1x 22,8USD [

This is sum. 197USD
I found a similar kit on eBay for 280 USD

www.ebay.com]
It is obvious that lot of sellers just collect parts into a kit and try to sell it for a much higher price (I don't want to say that this ebay seller do the same).
What would you suggest? Doest it worth to buy this kit or shall I buy the individual parts I collected? Is there any difference between them?
