About to build my first 3d printer
July 19, 2014 10:14PM
Hello everyone

I am planning on building a prusa i3. I have been doing research on parts but there are so many options that I'm a little confused. Below is what I have ordered so far:

One piece frame
Rods
Hardware and bearings
Heated bed
Power supply
Arduino/ramps/ sd and lcd add on
Stepper motors
Hot end

My question is, what else do I need and where do I get it?

Without knowing your "Frame" or the contents of the "Hardware Kit" we won't be able to know for sure. But don't forget the size filament that is required for the size hot end you ordered. I don't know if your kit comes with wires or their connectors as well.

You may need electronics like a bed thermistor and belts if you haven't ordered them already. And zip ties!
This wiki page is for the Prusa i3 Rework, and should show you an idea of the things that you will need. Good luck!
