Hey Everyone, Happy to join the community... I'm very new here and in need of some advice/help with building a 3d printer. See I live on a small Caribbean island with 0 options to source one locally, I was initially going to buy an Anet A8 printer off EBay since they were relatively cheap, but because of the shipping weight, to get it to me I would have to pay several hundred dollars more than the cost price. That's why I started looking into building one as I figured I could ship in the small electronic parts (boards, hotend, switches etc.) and I would build the rest using materials I can source locally e.g wood, aluminum, bearings, rods etc.
Also I recently took apart a non working direct to garment printer that was given to me and I salvaged some motors and stuff that I think may help me with the process. from my research they are:
5 Nema 14 stepper motors
1 Nema 17 stepper motor
2 Nema 23 servo motors
2 Belt bearings with mounting brackets
About 10 feet of timing belt

In my reading I found that the Nema 17 is more commonly in printer builds and honestly these Nema 14's are small but I was wondering if I could still use them in a modest setup. I keep looking for builds that gave some idea of how to determine the dimensions of the frame relative to the build area you are trying to achieve but so far I haven't gotten enough info to start the process or confidence to start buying components. Can someone point me in the direction of a build that may be possible given what I already have??..also I have made a list of components that I intend to purchase off amazon I will list them here hoping for some feedback on them. I'm going with cheap components just to get the build off the ground and gain some confidence with the processes then I will invest in upgraded components. I was hoping to be able to build the frame using wood then print replacement brackets etc. to re-enforce but welcome advice in that area. I know I just said alot.. hoping to get some help...Thanks is advance guys
