where to get parts for spreadsheet use. January 01, 2010 08:38PM |

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.

[ausxmods.com.au] for steppers (psytron, was probably me)
[smallparts.com.au] for bearings, and possibly other fasteners
I got my threaded rod from [fastenersales.com.au] and most of my nuts and bolts from [boltbarn.com.au]
[futurlec.com.au] has some of the discrete electronics, I got my MAX6675 from them as well as some opto interruption sensors

Thanks Triffid_hunter - Credit given that is by far the best prices for steppers in aus i have seen. Pity they are only bipolar my linisteppers would love some beefier motors to run 
Do you know if the belts from smallparts.com.au are suitable for reprap use??
iirc they have only the one type of belt just different lengths of it. When it comes to belts i am still learning lots

625 bearings for mendel
$1.90Au for 50+ [www.smallparts.com.au] - Rubber seals better for dirty environment
$1.13Au for 50+ [www.smallparts.com.au] - Steel seals will allow dirt in

Note that the Suppliers/Stepper Motors and Printing Material Suppliers pages on the wiki are always waiting to be updated with decent supplier details, no matter which country. 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!

Timing belt at 2.5mm Pitch, 6mm wide April 01, 2010 01:41AM |
Registered: 16 years ago Posts: 242 |
Hi
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.
regards
Stephen

Someone mentioned elsewhere that they couldn't find any 8mm Stainless Steel bar here in Aus...
Was looking for something else and came across this:
8mm Stainless Steel bar
May not be the cheapest, but it's a start.
Note: They're in NSW, but ship Aus wide.

Thanks Cefiar for the info.
I use the following
www.interlloy.com.au
- 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

I originally looked at Interlloy but couldn't see anything for sure on their website about purchasing (ie: over the counter or web). They have offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Mackay and Albury though, so they're definitely good on the location front.
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.
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. Even a safety vest is enough in most cases to look the part.

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've had dealings with Bits of Steel Supplies at Geebung. Very very cheap even compared with bunnings. They cut up to lengths small enough to fit in the car and the young guy Richard even helped me carry the stuff to the car.
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.

just got my rods from All Things Stainless. Arrived quickly and well packaged (duct taped to a bit of wood with heaps of bubble wrap). One was missing, but they sent out another one immediately at no extra charge as soon as I contacted them about it- mistakes happen, and they were totally professional about it. I Recommend.
