A machine will cost between 6-8,000 dollars to build properly.

Thank you very much for your answer! a story in the plans that I buy, they contain a detailed list of exactly what things should I get? where can I buy?

My problem is that I'm not from USA and I have to bring to my country.

It is not a quick list of places to buy from.
Read the forum and read existing build threads for sources.

I am not familiar with Costa Rica, but I do know that the major suppliers ship to you.

Laser cut parts - This forum
Gecko Drives - direct from California
Pinions and Rack - Reid Supply ships to Mexico and surrounding countries
FactoryMation and Automation direct ship to you.
Antek will ship the transformer and power supply too.
Oriental motors and Keling will ship to you as well (if you can't source in your country)

You might find folks in Brazil threads that can help in the Southern America's.
