If you want an easy to build kit then cast parts are probably not a good idea there is alot of drilling involved.

Casted parts can easily be more precise and stronger than reprapped ones.

All the samples you kindly provided are nowhere near what can be achieved with casting. Sorry for the gentlemen blogging about their work, but those parts look worse than anything else casted I've seen yet. It's really a matter of good mold preparation and adequate material. Well done, parts casted at room temperature are even more precise than injection molded parts.Quote

They could be, but not if the moulds are made from reprapped patterns.
