What We Need & What You Get

Here is a break down of costs

I will be creating this RepRap from scrap. Much of the framing and parts for this printer are able to be printed using another RepRap Machine but because this is my first RepRap I am having to make this one from things that I find and buy from the store. I have thus far completed the triangular basic framing from stuff I have at my house.
The other parts that are more pricey that I don't have setting around the house are the mother board, switches and motors. The great thing about the RepRap is the software is free and open source so the main costs will be hardware based. So here is the cost break down. Some things may vary in pricing thus I have factored that in.


3 Opto Endstop v2.1 Kit 60$
1 GEN6 Deluxe electronics incl optos 200$
5 2.8 V 1.68A 4.4 kg-cm RepRap Stepper Motor 100$

1 Hotend v9 all-in kit 1.75mm 90$

x miscellaneous parts and printing plastic 250$



Total 700$



So this is my Project, and I hope you take interest in it weather you contribute money or not when I complete this project I would love to hear your ideas and thoughts. Hope I can print you a 3D RepRap printer.

Thank you for your contributions and your interest in my project

Sincerely your friend Charlie ; )
