Was just metric standard stuff we already had laying around.

This was the seller

http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6088340631.html

Issues we had were
Missing :
insulated supports for mother board
SSupport for the coil
High temp glue for thermostat

And then some bad nuts.

For the missing parts we cut new ones out of perspex (on an 400 quid aliexpress laser cutter :-D )

Can't recall what glue we used for the thermostat.

Will see of I've any photos of printed stuff.

Girls love 3D printers, more than they love handbrake turns.

The Daily Mail is mercifully unknown outside of your benighted island.

Strictly speaking it's /their/ benighted island. I don't live there anymore. OK, I have the passport, and I do visit on occasion, but I don't miss dogshit-strewn pavements that much that I'd visit more than once a year.

Good stuff.

I was looking at the Prusa i3 models the other day. Think that might be my Christmas present. Or I'll end up buying it earlier if I get impatient.

Is it difficult to get things setup and aligned?

Just really trial and error for a lot of stuff. And sometimes it randomly gives up mid print, which doesn't help.

Did you have to pay any customs duty on yours?

Nope, or the laser cutter. Luck of the draw I think though.

How's the 3D printer?

Just noticed it's 1year+1day since I posted. I'm seriously considering one again.

Temperamental. But it seems all hobby-grade 3d printers are. Friend just used it to print a hinge he designed, then smoother the surface with car body filler and took a cast in silicone. He can now produce lots of hinges for a project in resin. That's pretty cool.
