Parts parts parts

Its been a while...
Finally I received the printed parts for my Prusa. Even thought there was a slight delay in shipping, the package arrived from Poland to Italy quite fast (considering my past experience).
The parts are made of white ABS. I do not have other prints to compare, but the quality seems good. In few days I will post some pics.
Now its time to get the last elements before I start putting the printer together: the bearings, engines, printing bed, timing belts and the extruder. Just after those start to arrive, I want to initiate building the printer. Hopefully, by the time I finish, I will also be able to purchase and get the electronics.
Unfortunately the RepRap is slowing down due to other tasks I am involved in. Well, it was meant to be a hobby activity, and the family have to eat first ;)
Note:
The parts were bought on www.allegro.pl (similar to eBay), total cost including shipping: 200zł (or ~50eu).
