ouch. that sounds lit a lot of money for a simple i3 kit…

Hmm, my research had that going as quite a good price for Europe. Can you recommend alternatives. The RepRap buyers guide does not make recommendations.

Perhaps I should rephrase the question. I’d be really grateful for any experience regarding buying and building an i3 kit.
