So, I've been reading and watching videos about 3d printing now for the last week or two and I am completely blown away by the reprap and the idea that it can print its' self over again. However, I have no idea how to start off or where to begin. I've read over countless forum posts and websites.

I was wondering if anyone could print me the pieces for my own reprap. Then, I would in turn, again print the parts for another reprap and continue them on down the chain to someone else wanting to get started.

Once I begin printing objects I would like to print things that are 6" x 6" x 6". Do any of the repraps print this space yet or no?
6" = 152.4mm

If you want to help me get started, please message me. I would love to be welcomed into the reprap community with open arms. And, I look forward to learning about 3d printing, printing, and helping the next person on down the line.

ps - I'm also going to talk to my school about starting this as a class (3d printing is the future), although I would really like to walk in with a working 3d printer so I don't look like I'm just making things up. Thanks.

I was simply stating that If anyone could provide me with such copied parts, then I would like them to contact me via PM. Transferring actual parts via the mail system would require physical addresses to be shared, and I figured they would not want to discuss it on an open forum.Quote

A forum is public, sending messages/emails is for private stuff and many others have the same questions. If you are too lazy to come back to this forum topic to see any answers posted then building a 3d printer is NOT FOR YOU!!
My budget is very versatile. I'm typically a more cheap person but I feel like if I buy used parts they may go out on me after a little bit.Quote

A good place to start is to specify your budget. You don't mention your age but you sound as if you are very young (15 or 16). This usually (but not always) means that you don't have a lot of extra cash and price is a major factor.

If it is to print then you would definately be better served buying one of the full kits (or even assembled printers). If you want to understand everything about the printer and learn something then a kit is still a viable option but you might want get the parts yourself.

I like BOTH the Mendel MAX and some of its derivatives as well as nophead's Mendel90 (I built an original Sells Mendel)
