p3 Steel, what extruder?

Forgive me if it has been asked but I cant find the answer.

I'm trying to source the parts for building a v2.5 p3 steel, It says its supports single or dual bowden extruder, but I dont know if that's all it fits, for example can someone point me at something on here [e3d-online.com] that I can use?

Planning on using a ramps 1.4 controller unless someone says otherwise..

Also any ideas on somewhere reputable for the plastic parts (ideally in the UK)?

Thanks

The PS Steel can take the same extruders/plastic parts as a I3 Rework. I'm currently using those same parts on my machine (while printing upgrades for my Delta). I sourced the Plastic (ABS) parts from ebay.

Hello,

I have a V2.5 frame from orballo You can use the same printed parts of prusa i3.
U recommend you the Ramps 1.4 SB. The quality components are better because is not a Chinese electronic... Usually the Chinese ramps 1.4 burn when use the heatbed

Where do you get that the P3steel from orballo a 2.5 frame is. The pictures shown on there web site is not a 2.5 DXL.

This is a 2,5 DXL : [www.thingiverse.com]

So your frame has also the 2 mountings for bowden extruders steppermotors in the 2 vertical pillars ?
If that is the case then they should be more clear in there website, because I payed a lot more then what they are asking.

Yes, I paid a extra cost because the V2.5 is little expensive than V2.01. The main frame is bigger.

So back to my question, I'm thinking dual extruder and using Bowden style. So any suggestions for the hot end, was looking at e3d
