I was planning to buy it from there http://www.robomaa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_33&products_id=130&zenid=hna0eprjbaq70je8cocegkn4m1
Is this kit contains all the three platforms?
The link is to a Makerbot
The link is to a Makerbot CupCake and not the Thing-O-Matic that I have.
I would recommend the ToM as I think it’s a better printer with the stepstruder that would save you a lot of frustration and grief.
I don’t think that the CupCake has an automated build platform.
Is there a place except
Is there a place except robosavvy to buy it from europe?
Have you paid any
Did you pay any declaration bill ?
I’m from Norway (and we
I’m from Norway (and we are not members of the EU) so I have to pay customs for both EU an US items. So yes I had to pay 
reprapcentral is UK based
They offer a big variety of 3d printers at reprapcentral:
They are UK based.
And how much was the bill ?I
And how much was the bill ?
I mean if you paid a declaration bill when you bought makerbot thingomatic which is being sold by an American company
"Makebot Industries" then I will have to pay too since I am in Greece which is part of EU.
Am I right?
The prices are about the
The prices are about the same with robosavyy so I will thing of it. Im still waiting Geir to tell me how much was the declaration bill
he paid .
The Norwegian MOMS (VAT) is
The Norwegian MOMS (VAT) is very high and is probably much less at your place. We have to pay 25% of the item value and shipping cost.
So go for the UK based company.

How can I learn how much I will have to pay?

Ask at the local post office?
Well I asked the local post
Well I asked the local post office , and the amount is exorbitant its about 500 bucks so I will definitely go for reprap central .
On the one hand, a CNC
On the one hand, a CNC machine. On the other, a load of Ax-12 servos for a big hexapod and an Android phone running ROS for its brain. Luckily I don’t think I’ll get to make that decision for a while!
…
Well I made a decision as you can see on my previous posts , but this can be helpfull for others in the future that dont know where to spend their extra money .
…
I asked the day before yesterday reprap central what the shipping will be because it is not counted in the total ammount and still no reply …
For me the choice is simple
Hexapod with expensive servos are probably great fun for a while but after it’s built it will probably just sit on a shelf until you rip it apart and build something else.
A 3D printer on the other hand is a versatile tool, enabling you to build all sorts of great stuff.
True, but I don’t think I’d
True, but I don’t think I’d ever run out of projects which need good servos. And while a 3D printer would make it a lot easier and quicker to make parts, I could probably fabricate most of those using wood, plastic, polymorph and epoxy, and for the cases where I could not there are websites offering 3D printing.
Of course you could probably
Of course you could probably build anything ’old school’ :-) with Plexiglas, polymorph etc. But a 3D printer opens up a whole world of possibilities on how to design and build robots. And more importantly you can share your design and print out someone else design.
