Does anyone have a good source for the smaller bearings (626 etc)
I am yet to contact SKF but they seem to be at the high end and shipping from Small Parts Oz is a killer

Tried calling Saeco bearings, or Auckland Bearings?
Someone else you could ask, and i'll ask tonight when I meet up with him, is Tim from MindKits.
Else I see that VXB in the USA are very cheap, even if you take into account shipping.
Normally these (called micro bearings in the industry) are very expensive, and for the quantity in a RepRap that is a lot of money.

I'm in Hamilton so I've only contacted the local suppliers so far
All but one were more expensive that paying the $66 freight from Small Parts in Oz!
Just had a look at vxb.com, the prices and rates certainly are better
I will probably place an order with them early next week, so if anyone is interested in sharing shipping costs send me a pm or post in this thread

The cheapest source of miniature bearings in NZ that I have found so far is NZ Miniature Bearings
BUT at the moment it is still cheaper to get a full mendel set from Mendel-Parts in the Netherlands!

I know one of the cheapest places to get bearings for RC cars is: [abec35.com]
Not sure how much they would be, but shipping was cheap, could be worth a comparison.
(I'm building a Prusa so I only need skate bearings, I think)
Skate bearing I got from [www.skategear.co.nz] 8 of them for $17.

Guys, remember to put links like these on the NZ RUG page on the wiki.
FWIW: You may find some useful Aus based supplier links on the Melbourne Australia RUG page.

I just bought a heap of linear bearings for the Prusa alternative from VXB, enough to build 2 Prusa's or is that Prusi and the only way I could have got them cheaper was from Alibaba
