GO look at the kits at www.makerfarm.com. They have an 8x8 and a 10x10 i3v prusa kit. All the parts and videos of every step so no mistakes about what to do next. All you add is a power supply and glass to print on. Heated and all.

Many have had a good experience with this:

Get your own 8" x 8" heated bed and glass and you should be good to go.

I opted to build my own 10" x 10" version from scratch...it was quite the undertaking. If I had to do it again, I would go with the kit above. Be aware the kit comes with NO instructions and you will also need to be comfortable tweaking and uploading the firmware to the RAMPS board, etc.

Anyone have a prussa for sale? Also could someone recommended a kit that comes with everything minus like maybe the bolts or print bed. I have sheets of aluminum to make my own.
