Printed Pieces (True Reprap) Received

My name is Russel and I am using this blog to build my first 3 Repraps.  While my experience in this is zero I have messed around with programing and arduinos so I believe I should be able to work out most of my own kinks.  You might be wondering why I am going to build 3?  Well the main purpose is for my business to be able to rapidly prototype our products before we send them off for mass production.    Strangely enough, for a very small number of employees we are currently located in several states.  The first Reprap is going to be bought from several venders online and is going to be my personal one.  The second Reprap is going to be built for location two and we are going to set it up so I can print to it remotely to verify our designs .  The 3rd will be for location 3 although I expect I will make some upgrade/updates to it and keep it for myself and send the 1st one off to location 3.  At this point I believe all 3 will be Prusa's due to their build times and the fact some of our prototypes would be too large for a Huxley.

Sounds confusing?  Well then it probably is.

Here is my first post.  I ordered these pieces on ebay for $80 and they came two days later. 

Overall quality is good although some of the green pieces are warped and most of the pieces will require some work to clean up.

 Gears look good.

My experience with ebay is typically good and this is no exception.  I ordered my kit from Mixshop and while they were one of the cheaper options around shipping from Canada is SLOW.  Total price with the Complete Kit (not actually complete because is had to addon the Printed Plate) with Printed Plate is $125.67 before shipping.  I will post photos of that kit when it comes.
