Why didn't I go with this BOM?
Firstly it was more then I was expecting to pay for my first RepRap.
I had budgeted £300 to £350 for the full build, this BOM works out at £360ish
Second I was wary about the number of suppliers, nophead and RepRapWorld have good reviews however information on the others where non-existent.
On top of this from previous experience (building PC's) the more suppliers you have the more frustrating it can get if you have an issue.
