			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to your new obsess... er, I mean hobby. <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /></p><p>The Folgertech 2020 Prusa i3 is a fair kit - we have one. Once you do get it up and running, I highly recommend you print out replacement parts as soon as possible (the stl files are on their website), along with a couple of upgrades for it. Or, ask around for someone to print them for you (they really should be done in ABS)</p><p>the upgrades are these:</p><p>Y belt tensioner set (use the low-profile version): <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:188958">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:188958</a><br />Better thumb wheels for bed leveling: <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29782">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29782</a><br />MUCH better extruder housing (you will need a spring from your local hardware store): <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:650957">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:650957</a><br />and if you are so inclined, an X belt tensioner set - designed specifically for the Folgertech 2020 (you will lose a few mms of X space, but it is far better than sloppy belts): <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:872944">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:872944</a></p><p>Also, when you get your kit, thoroughly inspect the Ramps board, especially the back side, for sloppy soldering &amp; excess solder flux left on it. There have been issues on some of the early ones. Hopefully they have that QC issue sorted out by now.</p>]]></content>

Well with that kit you will get plenty.
