Hi Guys,
I'm building a Prusa Mendel and have most of the parts ordered, just the electronics, filament and some fasteners left, but I have a problem.
I was planning to order my 8mm smooth steel rod from farnell, along with the rest of my fasteners and vitamins, because they have free shipping, but it turns out the longest rods they have are 333mm, while the Prusa needs 420mm for its longest.
Anyone know where to get them either locally or somewhere that shipping is cheap?
Also what kinds of metal are recommended? Stainless Steel, Silver Steel, etc?
