If you're interested have a search for "RepRap printer" and you should get a good few sites to point you in the right direction.
That's interesting to know, the reason I thought it would be more difficult was because I had read quite a bit on people having problems with things like speed, feed, temperature that all related to the building of components with the filament.
I know there are complete kits with everything contained but most of them seem to be quite an expensive way of doing things & not really building your own machine, then again that may have all changed as I haven't looked at it for quite some time.
