New I3 build in Wellington

Hi All

Another newbie venturing into the 3D printing world. I am planning on building a box-frame I3 as it seems one of the simplest ones available. Been shadowing the forums for the last few months and gleaning what I can. Particularly Zerker and his build log :)

At the moment I am creating a spreadsheet for parts based on this BOM: www.kitbom.com. I will post it up once it is complete along with the suppliers I end up using for others to reference. Undecided whether to go with the Raldrich extruder listed on the BOM or the "standard" Wade's extruder (or if they are the same and I am missing something)

Happy to take any suggestions you folks have for recommended suppliers- particularly looking for recommendations on a local supply of steel/ fasteners. AliExpress seems to be the way to go, along with mike_p (via trademe/ makershop)

Also looking for someone to help with the printed parts- price to be negotiated :)

All going well I hope to have the parts by Christmas to put it together in my break. Will keep a semi- build log going here, along with any questions I have along the way- I expect there to be a few!!

Cheers in advance

Tim
