RUG/New Jersey
Local suppliers
Please list NJ suppliers of any and all Reprap parts. It's great that there is so much international good-will within this community, but it's a hard economy and we should try to buy locally when we can. This will also save us all lots of money and time in shipping.
We should stay with metric because it's just a hell of a lot easier to use.
- There is a McMaster-Carr store down by Trenton, according to google maps. I'm not sure if it's a retail location of just somewhere to pick up orders. If you live down there, check it out and post your experience here.
- Metric ground rods and studding
- Metric nuts and bolts
- Is there any better place to buy bearing other than VBX.com?
- RP parts
- electronics and motors
NJ Rug Logo
We will need a logo if we ever go to a Maker Faire or similar. A logo would also be useful to direct members to a meeting location (i.e. printed out and posted on the door of a multi-purpose room)
Group Projects
none yet
Meetings
Until there are more members, or we have a project to work on, we'll probably just use the forum and wiki to communicate. New Jersey is the biggest little state. Those who live here know that it's not how far away something is, but how long it will take you to get there. South Jersey people aren't going to drive two hours north for a meet up, and vise versa.
However, If you have a show or fair that you are taking your reprap to, please post the time and place so we can meet fellow reprapers and show our support.
