Print Parts (Phoenix, AZ)

Hey everyone, I have a question. Is there anyone near Phoenix, AZ that could print some parts for the RepRap I'm planning to build for me? And would there be a fee involved?

Parts are widely available on ebay for around $225 (includes shipping). See this thread: [forums.reprap.org] (I just checked and there's nothing at the moment, but they 3-6 of them go up for bidding every week.)

Also, you could try the marketplace: [forums.reprap.org]

Or you could see if there's a local hackerspace near you.

I'm currently working on a stock Mendel build with a Seeeduino Mega and four Pololu A4983 stepper controllers.

Well thing is I want someone to print custom parts, not get Mendel stuff, as I designed my own printer that will be even more reproducible than Mendel!

If the parts are print-ready STL files (already scaled correctly, and printable - no weird overhangs, other issues) then I'm sure you can find people to print them for you. Hell, I'd do it -- but it's not going to be cheap. A regular mendel set takes about 50 hours. How many parts do you anticipate your set being?

It would only be 2 parts... The only reason they are needed at all is to mount the makerbot mk4 extruder to my design!

There's a Phoenix, AZ hackerspace:

Good people. Tell them I said 'hi'.

And tell them RepRap's got an open dev mailing list, so they should hop in and lurk. I mean post; since they're developers.

You too, termhn, since you're a dev. What kind of machine are you doing up? A T-Slot machine?

Remember, you're all RepRap developers (once you've joined the super-secret developer mailing list), and the wiki, RepRap.org, [reprap.org] is for everyone and everything!

Thanks! I'm developing a Cartesian Bot, mainly made out of wood and the stuff that drawers roll on (forgot the name right now and I'm too lazy to look ) that's based of the design on the page "McWire Successor" I'm hoping will only cost about $350 for the parts AND electronics (I don't think the wood and mechanical parts should cost over $100 and I'm getting the electronics from Makerbot, along with their MK4 extruder.)
