Official RepRap Suppliers

Local Suppliers

Local Shops may be better or worse than buying from online retailers. This depends on your local shops and what you're getting. Stepper motors you'll want to get online, steel rod - perhaps not. Fasteners, it depends. You may want to check your yellow pages to look these up, as opposed to online.

  • Local Steel Suppliers (e.g. Construction suppliers)
    • Kamco
    • Stainless steel rods can be used for replacing hardened smooth rods.
      There are a couple of shops at Sg. Buloh area.
  • Local Bearing Suppliers (Skateboard Shop)
    • NTN
  • Local Belting Supplier
  • Local Fastener/Threaded Rod Suppliers
    • There are many fastener suppliers around. Bolts and nuts in metric and imperial scale are available.
    • Everlast Bolts & Nuts Sdn Bhd
      No. 45-1 & 45-2, Jalan Taming Permai 1, Off Jalan Balakong, Balakong, 43300, Seri Kembangan, Selangor
      +60 3-8941 2373
      Reasonable pricing.Parts for my Wallace cost about RM13 (December 2014)
  • Local Machine Tool/Industrial Supply, (Occasionally unwelcome to hobbyists, but who knows?)
  • Local Jeweler's Supply Shop

(For all those tiny drill bits for the nozzles.)
