BOM v2

If you have read BOM v1 you'll know I was a little unhappy about the number of suppliers and the cost of that build. So after spending time researching other vendors, as well as reading other RepRap blogs, I came up with BOM v2.

Part	Description	Cost	Vendor
Ramps 1.4 DIY-kit FULL	Full RAMPS 1.4 DIY kit, Arduino MEGA 1280 and 4x stepper drivers (with heatsinks)	€100+€2	RepRapWorld
Prusa Kit	All the bolts, nuts, washers, springs and belts (T5) for Prusa	£47+£5	Thingfarm
Plastics	All plastic parts including plastics for Wade's Extruder	£75+£7	nophead - eBay
Stepper Motors	Nema 17 high torque stepper motors x 5	£58+£5	Thingfarm
J Head Hotend	Complete hotend set (including electronics)	£30	Thingfarm
Wade's Extruder Hardware Kit	All the hardware for the extruder	£18	Thingfarm
Microswitch	Endstops x3	€6	RepRepWorld
Total			€108 + £246

BOM v2 is almost £20 cheaper and includes a few freebies from Thingfarm (cable ties, plumbers tape and heat shrink tubing).

On top of this I reduced my total number of suppliers from 4 (5) to a mere 3. As well as all the suppliers being RepRap specific this means I should be able to get support for each item.
