Investment Time/Money

Ok so now that I have all the materials its time to total everything up. Including the time for the build. I did not record time for the calibration and running tests, only the physical build.

Total Physical Build Time: 11hrs

Update 4/3/12 had to add a sheet of glass. I bought picture frame replacement glass to put on the heat bed when printing (as recommended to me) since I had problems with my print sticking to the blue tape. This added $1.98

An important thing to note about the build cost is the actual build is 
767.88-62.00(consumables)+1.98(glass)=707.86
