RUG/Australia/Suppliers

Australian Suppliers

We've broken up the page into a number of sections to make it easier to find the stuff you need. Feel free to add reputable suppliers as you find/purchase from them.

Notes

1. Some of the suppliers here are not "Australian owned", but they all have offices in Australia. Some places may ship parts from overseas to fill an order. Most places deliver anywhere in Australia, unless otherwise noted.
2. Any prices listed here are indicative only, and should be checked for correctness before ordering. reprap
3. Cheaper prices at overseas websites may be announced in IRC (see also wikipedia's entry on IRC), however shipping costs may eclipse any savings. While you are in IRC, you can ask if 'whatever website' is a reputable retailer. Caveat emptor should still apply when shopping online.
