Making my own Prusa mk2 from nothing but need help

Hi there 🙂

I'm actualy working for a short time (only 4 week remaining) in a little company who have 5 3d printers and a big laser cutting CNC 😀

the idea to make a mk2 prusa come to me naturaly 😉 so right now i have the frame and bed carrier made out of a 10mm plexiglass sheet and i have the extrusion head plastics parts too 🙂

but im a begginer in 3d printer making and that will be my first attempt to buid one.. so i have a few question about hardware i want to use.

first i want to use this arduino Mega 2560/ramps 1.4 kit : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/CNC-3D-Printer-Kit-for-Arduino-Mega-2560-R3-RAMPS-1-4-Controller-LCD-12864-6/32573508504.html
i have few interogation about this kit : does the lcd will work correctly with the marlin soft? witch NEMA17 motor will be the best to use with the kit drivers? does it support the axis correction?

And more generaly does the bed carrier can handle the bed heat without issues?

I dont have a lot of money, so i'll try to have the cheaper mk2 :p
thank you for reading and sorry if my english is not very "readable" this is not my born-langage

PS: im gonna upload a pic of the plexi part and the extruding head printed parts i already printed
