Just a few questions:
1. With Magma you will not be able to print with PLA. For both Magma and J-Head you should use fan. With Prusa i3 kit from Makerfarm shelf you will be able print only with 3mm filament (Magma or J-head hot end options from Makerfarm).
2. About power supply – take a look at industrial power supply Mean Well 12V 29A 350W (NES-350-12).
4. Problems may cause fila

I’m still considering buying my first 3D printer kit, but my advice will be short: do not buy a kit under $1-$2K without support and references.

Yes, different colors emit IR differently.
That's what I'm afraid. These infrared digital temperature meters have manually adjustable emissivity settings depending on surface reflectiveness, so the result may be not so accurate.

...I suspect you will pay the VAT and customs on the kit from Hong Kong the same way you will on one from the US...
Yes, correct, in this case goods outside EU are subject to add VAT from 22€ and customs from 150€ in my country.

If it's free shipping world wide, then that's a big plus if you live somewhere with nasty shipping issues.
For me, for example, in EU, shipping + VAT (21%) + customs (2.5%) for Makerfarm Prusa i3 kit + 2 kg of filament and additional hot-end will cost additional ca. 335$. VAT and customs are calculated from price and shipment expenses.
So, now I’m studying what I can get from EU

That's a pretty good deal.
+ free shipping to Europa/North America according to the website information.

I just ordered a set of prusa i3 kit (for 499USD, inclusive of PSU and other stuff) from www.3dprinterczar.com, estimated to ship by the coming week. The specs look pretty impressive and comes with free shipping, you might want to take a look.
Have you found any specific assembling instructions for this Prusa i3 kit? I’ve found references only to the reprap.org wiki.

Thank you for your consideration, uncle_bob! It’s seems to be a really good idea to get both Magma and J-Head from one supplier, because fan and some mountings are already included in Magma kit with Prusa i3.

Sorry for newbie questions, but what are the advantages of using auto bed levelling with Prusa?

I consider ordering Prusa i3 kit from Makerfarm with JHead hotend. Do I need a fan to print with ABS? For PLA, as I understand, I should use a fan. I'm right, aren't I?
