Hi there, I am requesting any parts suppliers contributions from those kind enough to share, Eventual aim is to add an aus section to the spreadsheet on the wiki. Main focus is some of the more hard to find stuff as most of us even in regional areas should be able to find nuts, threaded rod etc. Just reply below or PM. thankyou. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,32134#msg-32134 Wed, 14 Oct 2026 01:04:57 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,71336#msg-71336 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,71336#msg-71336

Do you have a web address or postal address for these suppliers. Google is sending me to the UK suppliers.

For acrylic, hit up Cut to Size Plastics at Rocklea, they have lots of offcuts you can walk in and pick up and are happy to supply small quantities of stuff. My wife went in to pick up an order for me and they were female friendly.]]> Ashley Cobb Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Tue, 10 Aug 2010 06:59:07 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,54250#msg-54250 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,54250#msg-54250 >Yeah, any place that sells trade over the counter, you most likely want to look the part, and know the terminology so you can walk in and be treated with respect.

Agreed. I made sure I knew exactly what metal I was getting. which was 1214 grade Bright Mild Steel which I can put in my lathe.
The steel I bought was about $2 per kg from the off cuts section and about the same from the 3M lengths.

They sell 7.97mm rods as well in 3m lengths which they cut down into 3x1m lengths so I could put them in my car.
In Brisbane it's all over the counter.

The only bind is that their minimum order is $50. However Easilly the cheapest metal I have sourced so far.

I also found another place in Cairns called Sharplift that sell 5/16" steel bar (7.97mm, close enuff for Mendel), but I have no idea on costs.

I use the following

- Australia wide
- Very helpful and very cheap. But only open from 9am-3pm in brisbane
- Take your steel cap boots if you have them and try to use cash as they charge extra for credit cards

Was looking for something else and came across this:

8mm Stainless Steel bar

May not be the cheapest, but it's a start.

Got fed up paying $35 per Meter unit price for timing belt from Melbourne.

Bought 100M from China. Happy to share at 5 Australian dollas per Meter + postage and packaging at whatever Australian mail charge.

Alternatively can meet up in Brisbane CBD on most week days at lunch time.

Timing belt has a pitch of 2.5mm and is 6mm wide. Which is the same spec as the bit from bytes V2 kit.

I have metal pulleys / cogs on order but the perspex ones seem to work fine on my reprap.

I've added AusXMods to the stepper page already, and filled in the details I could find.

Noticed that AusXMod has some belts in now, with various teeth sizes. No idea if they'd be of any use or not.

Also, Triffid: Which threaded rod did you get from fastenersales.com.au ?? A metre of M8 grade 304 is like just over $7, while a metre of grade 316 is like 7 CENTS.

At 7 cents a metre, even for 20 rods, the shipping is still more expensive than the rod!]]> Cefiar Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Sun, 28 Mar 2010 06:18:01 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,32303#msg-32303 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,32303#msg-32303 Triffid_Hunter Australia, Brisbane RepRap User Group Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:27:36 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,32258#msg-32258 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?107,32134,32258#msg-32258
