Suppliers

When you have money but you'd rather have raw material, fasteners, and other fun things

Stock Material

Check out the Materials page if you're not sure what you want.

Jacobs Hall

Jacobs sells at-cost and is often the best option available. Most commonly, plywood for laser cutting and 1/8" and 1/4" 6061 aluminum sheets are cheaper here than anywhere else.

ePlastics

Would you like some Delrin? Lexan? ePlastics is pretty cheap and easy to order from on-line. Would recommend.

TECO Technologies

If you need any 8020 extrusions or parts, this is the place to go. They give a 10% discount, but they sadly don't do sponsorships. They can also give

some design advice and they can answer more specific questions about 8020 that can't be answered on the website (you can also search the catalog)! Michael and Benson have been in contact with David Morton from there. His email is david.morton@tecotechnology.com

Good customer service, highly recommend.

Small Parts

McMaster-Carr

Screws, bolts, washers, nuts, threaded rods, tooling, some stock, and similar are the most common purchases from McMaster. Many other parts (gears, linear bearings, pumps, etc.) are available but may be prohibitively expensive.
