thetazzbot you are right!
Now I believe that the Smartrap Core XY is the best for me.
thetazzbot, why did you say that I can use a pcb heater to start, isn't a best option just buy one like this or something similar?
[www.aliexpress.com]
Forgive me if this is a silly question
Yeah, that's what I was saying. There are other, better, more expensive options. A milled aluminum plate ($20-$30), glass ($1), kapton film heater ($30). My current bed on my prusa i3 is an aluminum plate on top of the linear bearings, then a piece of thick cardboard (insulator), pcb heater, aluminum top plate, and glass. It takes 10-15 minutes to heat up, but is stable, flat, and generally doesn't cause me headaches.

I also have a doubt about the printed parts of this printer?
When I saw the stl files at [www.thingiverse.com] I didn't see the part that pulls and feed the the material, this is the extruder part, AKA "cold end", right?
This part don't usually come with the design of the printed parts? What model can I use?
Where can I buy the printed parts of this printer? I don't have access to a 3D printer.
At SmartFriendZ I only found this model, but apparently if for Smartrap (Not Smartrap Core)
[smartfriendz.com]
I'm going to be printing some this weekend. Where are you located? maybe there is someone here on the forum that can sell you a set reasonably cheap. If you're in the US I can volunteer once I print out my set to validate fit and finish.

Can I use thist as extruder maybe?
[www.ebay.com]
Also I have some doubts about how the extruder system works, since the cold end (extruder part) is not attached to the cold end, different from the majority printers .
I would go with a bowden setup. I'm using an all metal $20 jhead. Not the most elegant solution but it works for me. Bruno M. on youtube has a nice jhead rework video.

I would like to start to buy the parts, maybe If you have any suggestions for the principal parts, that are new for me (printed parts, extruder cold end and hot) I'll appreciate your advices. For the other parts (motors, RAMPS, screws, etc) I think that wouldn't be a big problem that I find them by myself. I hope so.
Best regards,
Yeah you can get the parts from ebay. Typical cost would be about $150 USD.
These are just examples. I try to buy from the US and look for free shipping over cheapest price because it's worth it to me to support my local economy

You'll need to find some belts and pulleys
You'll need some screws, smooth rods and threaded rods. Shop locally for these if you can.
