I'm just about to place my orders (in the next day or so) for my prusa and I too am based in the UK. I found thingfarm to be the best place for hardware kits, hotend kit and motors (once you take into account shipping from other places). Electronics and PLA from reprapworld. Plastics from nophead (he keeps selling out hence my delay in placing the orders). Last calculation I did it worked out aby JoeDaStudd - Reprappers
devijvers, its (RAMPS full kit) €102 including shipping and Tax so ~£90. Are you sure the thermistor will be ok, its range is –50°C to +110°C?

Traumflug, I wish I'd have found that article from the start, its still missing a few things but its a nice introduction. brupje, wonby JoeDaStudd - Reprappers
Hi all, I only learnt about RepRap a few days ago. Its project and concept which I'd love to get into. I've been reading through the wiki, manuals and these forums, but its taking forever to get a full list of parts as well as some other basic information. Don't get me wrong there is a lot of documentation about which is great, its just spread out. Is their an idiots/beginners guide or somethiby JoeDaStudd - Reprappers
