We (friend and i) just got a reprap. Was about 200quid from China (aliexpress), there were a few fixings either missing or seriously under spec (shit nuts instead of locking nuts etc.) but after a few days and about 10 quid in extra bits it was up and running fine.
The kit had all the important parts present and correct, including steppers and driver etc. Well worth the price, even if it's not the greatest printer in the world.
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.
