Beginners Guide: How much it costs and what I need

After you know how to start, the next questions on the way to your own High Speed LEGO model are the budget, tools, parts and where you can get them.

Budget
When your model is based on a original Lego Modell like the 42000 or 42039, and you will start from zero, you will need round about 250€ including the original LEGO model.

Tools
The following list contains all tools which you need to build your own model.

• 3D-Printer
