So far i have spent 402. Which is more then i though it would be. It could be lower, but i wanted to just order the stuff. before i was shopping around for items getting the best deals. Now i just want to make some more progress on it.
But thinking about it i might have only save 30 bucks on the McMaster order.

What is left. Parts for the extruder, putting all the electronic together. So wire's connectors, stripboards, cap, and resisters . Its funny how you think i am almost there untell you make the list of things you don't have.

I hope this gives people an idea of how much you will spend on making a mcwire
