After looking around on the web for quite a while for pricing and parts lists I finally decided it was worth paying a small premium and buying the whole framework in a kit off of ebay. The picture below is what it's supposed to look like when it's all put together.
Reprap Prusa complete frame with NEMA 17 steppers, Wades Extruder and printing bed |
This is all the parts you get to put the thing together.

STILL NEEDED
01 X RAMPS w/pololu stepper
drivers I already have the Arduino MEGA 2560 board
01 x Wade Hot End The kit I purchased has the filament extruder this mounts to
01 x Power Supply I have a couple of extra computer PSU's I might be able to use
01 x Heated bed I'll need this for printing ABS is my understanding PLA works w/o
Lots x wiring & connectors I have a lot of ribbon cables and some connectors already
Velcro strips for Cable
Management I've got extras left over from past projects
Starter Materials for 3D prints PLA
or ABS rolls I'll need material to print with
I figure it should take a few weeks before the prusa mendel DIY frame kit arrives. So I've got a little time to read up on the rest of what I need so I'll be ready for another order where I get the electronics in a few weeks to a month.
