What is the total cost of for the components that you bought for this machine? ( so without raw material or work)
@Joris_Steurs
Total cost up till now is approximately 100-150$. (for controller, power supply, bearings, heaters,…)
Considering i will make most of other components by myself. (extruder, hot end, end effector, etc. )
I need to buy few more components so overall, it will be
around 200$ in total.
I’m pretty lucky, so I have, Aluminium plates of different thickness in fairly large quantities.
I have to admit its very hard to make accurate calculation
of costs.
For someone who doesn’t own CNC or doesn’t have any access to it, i guess the costs would be pretty high.
Basically, i will try to make most of the the parts by myself. When i finish my project, i will post all of my designs and plans on GitHub as open source.
@Renato_Nikolic so it is really cheap for you because you have the aluminum. Hmmm…How much does the aluminum cost?
That is really cheap 
you can hardly print on paper for that money. I think the body parts can be made also from sheet metal and laser-cut, it will be less accurate, but when changing the design, so that things can be lined out, I think it should be OK.
I’m really tempted to build something myself as well but as an mechanical guy its more the electronics that makes me nervous. So if what I’ll find on GitHub is clear and sufficient documented, I’ll very likely take the step to start building.
Thats a really awesome printer. For the money - unbelievable!
@Joris_Steurs I have a Trumpf 5kw Co2 laser, so maybe I’ll try. But still, I have to do chamfer on the cnc router. If i’m not making a large batch of these, there is no need to use laser.
And electronics are not so complicated and everything is very well described. Especially today when you have a complete controller for small amount of money. And here you have a very large community and always someone can help you.
@NathanielStenzel
I do not know, probably about 50€
@Renato_Nikolic Chamfer is not really needed I assume, just deburing is good enough. I don’t think laser cutting needs more pre-production work than CNC, The only disadvantage of laser over CNC is that it does not cut alu so wel and that the heat input might give you dis-formation, but this can also happen because of the internal stress in the material , in that case you will have deformation also after CNC cutting. (although internal stress is much less present in alu )
