It looks like you have to add four stepper motor drivers at $11 each to have a fully useful board, so total is $64, which is still a really good price.

And they have a kit with a nice price on amazon:

1xRAMPS 1.4, 1xMega 2560 R3, 5xA4988 driver, 1xUSB Cable, 1xRAMPS 1.4 wiring cable, 1xLCD2004 Control Panel --- £85!

[www.amazon.co.uk]

If someone tries it let us now about its quality.

Also found at amazon one interesting kit : [www.amazon.co.uk]

Maybe shops like amazon will give a push to lower the price of some components.
