Official RepRap Suppliers
Local Suppliers
Local Shops may be better or worse than buying from online retailers. This depends on your local shops and what you're getting. Stepper motors you'll want to get online, steel rod - perhaps not. Fasteners, it depends. You may want to check your yellow pages to look these up, as opposed to online.
Electronics
- SnailInstruments - Ovladače krokových motorů (Beroun)
- CzechDuriono - Arduino desky a příslušenství (Plzeň)
Stepper Motors
