dunno, depends on how experienced you are with such things.
I think it took about an hour to mount mine to a board, attach the motor,
and put the temp. control together.
You don't need a power supply, the lamp works with mains voltage. You need
however a low DC voltage to power the temperature control circuit, i use a
small wall-wart.
If you have a printer it is probably wise to get the fuser control
electronics, i just used a solid state relais i had.
I have written short explanations some time ago...
