Please, If someone could please send me a kit. I would like every part but the Motherboard. I can currently make a 1.2 Motherboard using the equipment used at the school or order one to be manufactured. I live in UK. The address of my school is; Caterham High School Caterham Avenue Ilford, IG5 0QW London, United Kingdom Website: ecaterham.net Please, I beg you! Can anyone make me a kit. I will make you something in return using materials. I don't mind how old the equipment is, I may donate it to anyone after I do my project. I will make you a newer printer using schools plastics and resources HAVE A NICE DAY AND GOD BLESS YOU! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?163,88032,88032#msg-88032 Fri, 07 Aug 2026 07:47:06 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?163,88032,88804#msg-88804 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?163,88032,88804#msg-88804
Have you considered starting with a WolfStrap or a 1X2? These are wood based machines designed to be build with tools that your DT Teacher/Department likely have around.

Following on from bryanandaimee's post I'd suggest looking at ScrewFix for the threaded rods and such bits as they are UK based.

Good Luck

Secondly, it may be asking a bit much for someone to put together a complete kit for you. I think you ought to start spending your fundraising money on threaded rod and nuts and bolts etc. and see how far it goes. That stuff is pretty cheap.

The current cheapest set of plastic parts are the resin cast clonedel parts. Would those be acceptable? They are only $50, so even if you can't find a donor you should be able to raise that much. Once you have a frame built up and have electronics built you might get a better response.

At least for me I would far rather donate to a group that says "We have etched and built our electronics board and have it programmed. We have done fundraisers and bought all the threaded rod/nuts/bolts and clonedel plastic parts. Here is a picture of our bot so far. Now we need some motors and a hot end. Can anyone help with that?"

Rather than "We really need a printer, can someone give us everything we need?" It makes one wonder how much work you have really done and if you are serious enough to actually build and calibrate a printer. Getting the printer running will be a much bigger task than fundraising for a hundred some odd dollars for clonedel parts and threaded rod.

Now as for me donating, I am actually thinking seriously about getting a couple sets of plastic parts together for the loaner program. The vertices would be cut from composite decking boards rather than printed from plastic. And it would take me a while to print the rest of the parts as I don't run 24x7 like some people. I'll let you know when I have a set available if you haven't already got parts by then.

I hope I haven't dampened your enthusiasm. I think this is a great hobby with a lot of great people working to help others get started.]]> bryanandaimee Job Shop: I need stuff made!
