Hi everyone, Melbourne Australia here. I started a Mendel build about six weeks ago, progress has been slow and steady but I've been maintaining a blog about it: http://www.ppl-pilot.com Not a huge amount to show just yet, but I'll get there eventually. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65191#msg-65191 Sat, 15 Aug 2026 18:39:27 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65644#msg-65644 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65644#msg-65644

great to see another melbournian .

I ordered my belts from stephen george in QLD.

see his post int eh forsale section. Stephen George belts

he also has a website for the t2.5 belts he sells. His stuff is on the way to me atm, so i will hopefully be able to tell you about the quality very shortly.

Also if you get desperate i did order some extra belts so i might be able to help you with some.]]> scorpia Australia, Melbourne RUG Tue, 02 Nov 2010 20:54:39 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65228#msg-65228 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65228#msg-65228
Cefiar: I popped into Repco yesterday but it turns out they only stock Gates belts and the product number that Gates supply them for their computer system is different to both the product number and part number that Gates list on their web site. And don't bother looking at the box either, they already thought of that and made sure that none of the belt specs are printed anywhere on the box itself. So if you want a belts that fits a particular spec (as opposed to a specific car model) then you have to find it on the Gates web site, call them up, give them the product number and get them to look up the corresponding Repco number so that you can then call Repco to ask if they have it and how much it costs. I suspect this system was designed by the same geniuses behind Myki!]]> Myndale Australia, Melbourne RUG Tue, 02 Nov 2010 03:32:15 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65225#msg-65225 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65225#msg-65225 Cefiar Australia, Melbourne RUG Tue, 02 Nov 2010 01:36:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65224#msg-65224 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65224#msg-65224
One of the RepRap'ers in Brisbane has timing belts. Need to search for you. Also so do www.ausxmod.com.au ??]]> cluso99 Australia, Melbourne RUG Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:51:04 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65219#msg-65219 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65219#msg-65219
yeah, I put a thanks to you on my blog, some of those suppliers you pointed me to a couple of months ago proved invaluable. Still looking for timing belts though, I'll have to sign up to the Melbourne RUG mailing list.]]> Myndale Australia, Melbourne RUG Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:53:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65218#msg-65218 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?129,65191,65218#msg-65218
Also a Melbournian. Just finished assembling my Mendel (Monday night!) and just on to the calibration phase now.

There's a few of us here in Melb building RepRap/RepStraps. Have a look at the Melbourne RUG page on the wiki.
