Amazon sells the package I noted for $220. According to camelcamelcamel its been up and down, but the $220 price isn't a new one. Plus it has Prime shipping and Amazon customer service to work with for RMA/Returns. If their pricing remains the same after today, then buying from eBay or Amazon would be better than buying direct in some cases (the basic RAMPS kit is more expensive on Amazon, but cheaper on eBay).
If the pricing goes back to normal after Black Friday, then we'll have to 3D print some pitchforks.
Would you say that something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G20IZBS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 combined with something like this: http://openbuildspartstore.com/linear-rail/ would be a viable solution?
I have been doing some research in preparation for my build and after looking at some kits, I figured that if I get the kit, I might go all out. I have not figured out the extrude part of the project. But getting the electronics kit with whole bunch of parts from Openbuilds should take care of the basics.
