While a number of components are specialty items, many are commodity parts which may be available at local vendors. Some potential vendors include:

International / U.S. / Internet

Specialty vendors

Specialty hardware stores

Hardware stores

  • Ace Hardware --- check for a store local to you
  • True Value --- check for a store local to you
  • Home Depot --- the "ship-to-store" option is useful for parts not available locally and doesn't incur shipping charges
  • Lowes

Electronics suppliers

Strategizing on purchases so as to save on shipping and handling is a useful technique to help keep expenses in check.

If all else fails, many items are available on eBay, or Amazon.

Additional / Commodity Items

There are a number of other items which one may need or will find useful:

  • Extra M3 and M5 washers --- these are pricey in low quantities, and are generally useful
  • Lock washers (Note especially their suggested use for “Tensioning the Machine” in Assembly troubleshooting) and other miscellaneous hardware, esp. for Belt Anchors
  • M5 socket cap screw assortment --- automotive stores usually have a plastic organizer filled w/ various sizes --- saves a lot of time and gas and cash if you do much upgrading
  • Zip ties or other fasteners
  • Electrical cable/wiring --- 18 or 20 gauge.[3] 4 (or more) conductor 18 gauge security cable is sold in bulk by the foot at most big box hardware stores, e.g., Home Depot's 18-4 CL3R Security Cbl Shld 1' @ 0.63, Part number 0000-249-865 Ed0345.18.10 <A>, listed in bulk on their site.
  • Cable Management system
  • End mills
  • Material for an electronic enclosure
  • Some way to cool the stepper drivers such as a fan and/or heat sinks
