Hi, and welcome!

The parts in the visual manual is the old version (Prusa v1), but the new parts for sale have the same mechanical function. You should be able to follow the build manual without problems.

Best of luck, and keep us updated. smiling smiley

I bought similar parts (LM8UU version) from Wolfgang and they are great (I like his motor mount better). I can recommend it. I have bought his extruder+hotend too. It works great.

Hi,

another question.. smiling smiley Today I like buy vutamins. Which M8 nut have buy? This [www.alibaba.com] or this [beedspeed.com] or this normal [i00.i.aliimg.com] ? In manual is M8 nut type fastener. And i don't know, what is fastener in Czech language smiling smiley?!

Thx so much

The normal ones will be cheapest, but it would be very handy to have some -maybe half? of them nylocks (your second link)
nylocks wont unscrew by themselves but you can still adjust them easily enough with a spanner, on the other hand they can be a real pain if you want to put them in the middle of the threaded rod (they are hard to screw, even with a spanner)
I ended up using normal nuts with loctite. on mine. (you will want to do one of the other to get a solid frame that's not going to loosen on you)

In 10 min back I buy all normal smiling smiley. In shop dont have "Smooth rod", this item I buy in next few days and I buy few nut in second link.

I do not anticipate, but which elektronics is better? Sanguinololu or RAMPS 1.4? I´m not programator or geek smiling smiley.

Thx

RAMPS has better expandability, but for basic work they are almost the same and they both use pluggable Pololu motor drivers. Sanguinololu is smaller footprint and thinner. In terms of firmware you can install popular firmwares on any of them.

ok.. thanks for answer. For user is probably better RAMPS?

Have nice day..

If you can pay a bit more go with RAMPS, but please note a full RAMPS consists of:

one arduino mega board + RAMPS board (+ pololu stepper drivers)

Meanwhile, before I have a RepRap, I would like to learn to draw 3D. Can you tell me what program in Windows?

Google's Sketch-up and OpenSCAD are two popular choices. But while the former is GUI-oriented, the latter is script-oriented. Both useful and freely available.

Google's Sketch-up is fantastic =O. Now I see tutorial video from google, and this program is so "cool".. smiling smiley It is really easy winking smiley. Thanks for this tip! And how export object from Sketch-up for RepRap?
