I live in India, here I can get a total set of Prusa i3 for $500. But I want to get one 3D printer for the most value for price available in market. I am on a budget of $200.


I figured out that buying in a set costs more than to make some parts out and buying the other parts.


Prusa i3 contains a lot of 3D printed parts. Parts costs about $60 in my area.

Laser cutting can be done easily and are very cheap here. So are there any oper source 3D printer with mostly laser cut parts with no 3D printed parts (except the extruder).


I found the one named MakerBot Prusa i3v. But it got no layouts available (it is not open source). Anything similar to that?
