Below I will give a bit of a guide on how to find these parts outside of a kit vender. Motors, electronics, RP (Plastic Parts), and Hardware: These parts are not hard to find, and no matter where you are in the world you can have them shipped to you. Self Source Open Source (The Cheap Skate Route)Ī RepRap is made up of 4 categories of parts.
I am a very large fan of self sourcing because the difference between the cheapest kit I can personally recommend and the self sourced machine is $425, or TWICE as much. You can buy a kit or you can self source. There are 2 main ways to get a RepRap or RepRap alike (Or Repstrap). This blog post is going to try to help a person figure out the easy ways to get into this hobby. We have gone from only being able to get the parts for a Darwin from commercial prototyping services that made the total build cost $3000+ to today where you can put a Mendel together for $400. It's amazing to see how much the RepRap community has grown in the 6 years since it started, and little over 3 since RepRap 1.0 Darwin was released.
