I need to build a 3D printer for college and can get £100 to spend on it from them

I have access to a laser cutter for making the case and im going to use an arduino or raspberry pi for the controll using python

any advice or websites i can go to with guides

Thanks

I have 3 identical scanners that all have stepper motors i can use im going to buy a few drivers £15 for three

Im aiming to make the same style as ben heck made in 2011 for maker fair

I already have an arduino and i can make any parts of the case for nothing with a laser printer so all i really need to buy now is an extruder and rails for the movement of the platform and the extruder and other small bits like bearings and tubes etc.
