Re: I'm importing some bearings - 12 years ago
The bearing have landed. The 608 bearings have "608zz ABEC-7 C.win" stamped on them. The ABEC rating apparently defines the precision, I have no clue what "C.win" is. If any one does know what the "C.win" is, do tell. The 624 bearing only have "624z". They do however have metal shields on both sides of the bearing. I'd prefer pickup to avoid shipping costs. And as I said before they cosby dkedr - New Zealand RepRap User Group

I don't see how selling reprap kits uses any of skills of your trade that actually cost $60/hour.by dkedr - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: NZ Reprap Parts Sourcing guide - 12 years ago
If all that work takes you 20 hours, and you are able to source the parts at a decent price (~$600). That would mean you charge at least $30/hour for your time. I'm not saying you shouldn't be paid for your time, but be reasonable. Agent24: I'd gladly help you or any one else acquire the vitamins for free. If you want me to get them all and ship em to you then I would happily do that at a 10% maby dkedr - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Considering that all that needs to be done is buying parts, and shipping them, I don't see how 10-20% is bad.by dkedr - New Zealand RepRap User Group

I'm importing some bearings - 12 years ago
I've ordered some bearings for my mendel, 624 and 608. I've found a seller that looks some what reputable on aliexpress. I'm getting the minimum quantaties of each, which are 200, so I will have a lot left over, I'm happy to ship them to you at cost which should be around 45c/bearing for 624 and 608 + postage. Pick up is fine too, I live near northcross. I'd also be keen for a trade, I'm lookinby dkedr - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: NZ Reprap Parts Sourcing guide - 12 years ago
At rediculous prices. Just looking at the rod set, I got my smooth rod for around $10 and the threaded rod for 20-30(can't remember) including shipping. So you charge $60 to $70 for cutting/services. A little too much in my opinion. Then there is the electronics, you have Sanguinololu 1.3A bare board for $15, yet you can get seeduino to make and ship 10 of those boards for about 30USD.

Re: NZ Reprap Parts Sourcing guide - 12 years ago
I've just started getting all the parts together for my build and have found a few good places in Auckland. Steelmaster: all the nuts/bolts/washers came to under $100, and they have some pretty sweet service, just hand over the list and they'll come back with the box of goods. I dropped my list of, picked all the goods up the next day. They have a website too, which claims free delivery, but I hby dkedr - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: Would anyone other than Vik like one? - 14 years ago
Hi I want to put one of these guys together and start printing, this year hopefully. I can handle all the electronics myself, but need the custom mechanical parts. So who can sell me a set? I live in Auckland, so local would be better. Thanksby dkedr - New Zealand RepRap User Group
