What's needed for a 3d printer build??

Thanks for that.

I'm amazed so far, seems like I just need a print head - £50, some 1.75mm filament - £25/kg, a psu for the heater plus controller - junk box items and kissslicer software - free.

Unless I have missed something out, it appears that's about it for a bolt-on conversion????

And a heated bed if you are using ABS. It is not as simple as it seems like what surface will you be printing on etc. why not have a look here RepRap Forums ..Clive
