I am creating a rep rap but i have a problem the motors are to exspensive i cant even order them from the site they give us. Is there a motor i can buy that is similar to it and not as exspansive. thanks

P.S. i live in the US

Zach is working on a bulk purchase for the RRRF store, you can track that through the thread at: [forums.reprap.org]. You're also of course welcome to contact any of the sites brought up in that thread to obtain motors on your own independent of the group deal, but presumably you wouldn't get as big a discount as if we all order together.

Just a thought

Security supply companies should be able to source stepper motors as they are used in pan tilt and zoom cameras.

Hope this helps

In the month since this thread started... Zach has indeed done the first batch of motors and the price is now much lower (down to ~ $25 a motor). That's the price to beat at this point.
