| Critical Parts For The 3D Printer | Details | Cost |
 | *Linear Bearing Reprap Prusa Kit w/ Wades Extruder (SAE Version) | This kit includes everything needed to build the Prusa model except for the electrical components, metal rods, and power supply. | $199.95 |
| Five Kysan 1124090 Nema 17 Stepper Motors | Motors to move the extruder around the frame | $107.50 |
| RAMPS Pre-Assembled Kit Complete | The electronics or "brain" of the RepRap. | $200.00 |
| MakerGear Hot End Kit for 1.75mm Filament | This is the hot part that melts the filament and dispatches it onto the board. | $86.00 |
| Prusa PCB Heated Bed | For larger builds and ABS filament, a heated bed is necessary to prevent warping. | $55.00 |
 | 24 feet of 5/16" Threaded Metal Rods From Lowe's | Only 18 feet are required overall, bought extra in case of errors in cutting/fitting. Note that there are also smooth metal rods at Lowe's, but they are not of good enough quality. | $15.12 |
 | 9 feet of 5/16" Smooth Metal Rods | Also known as Drill Rods. | $13.56 |
| Hobbed Bolt | The Prusa kit comes with an un-hobbed bolt. I didn't really have the means to hobb it myself (no mount or tap), and it seemed iffy for a beginner, so I just purchased it separately instead. | $7.00 |

| Supplemental Parts | Details | Cost |
| PLA 1.75mm Natural 1Kg on Spool (Protoparadigm) | PLA (Polylactic acid), comes from renewable resources like corn and is more brittle than ABS with a lower melting temperature. Harder to extrude and so puts more wear on the extruder. Natural PLA can be dissipated at high temperature, making it great for casting. Sweet smell when being melted. | $40.00 |
| ABS 1.75mm Natural 1Kg on Spool (Protoparadigm) | ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), comes from non-renewable resources like petroleum and is less brittle than ABS with a higher temperature. Easier to extrude so puts less wear on the extruder. Tends to warp unless the printer has a heating bed. Bad smell when being melted. | $40.00 |
| PLA 1.75mm Natural 1Kg on Spool (Ultimachine) | Different provider of PLA, to compare possible differences in quality. | $42.00 |
| iMicro 400W ATX12V Power Supply | To be converted to a lab power supply. Any power supply that has at least 12v 20amp capabilities will work for a Prusa w/ heat bed, so long as you make the proper modifications. | $14.35 |
