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.
Industrial Hardware of Idaho has agreed to stock a hardware kit that includes the following; -Bolts -Bar and Threaded rod (including stainless steel) -Fasteners
Thick sheet and Reprapped parts are available locally from the users at Reuseum, as well as users on the Reprap forums.
- Local Machine Tool/Industrial Supply, (Occasionally unwelcome to hobbyists, but who knows?)
- Local Electronics Surplus Shop
