Hi all,
Are there any Aussies here who can recommend alternative suppliers for some of the McMaster parts and nuts and bolts? I was thinking of just ordering a parts pack but the USD to AUD currency situation makes it exxy.
Chris or anyone who's sourced them, what was your total bill for the metric screws?
Cheers

P.S. Huge thanks to Chris for your efforts. Chris if you read this, have you thought about how you'd go about a 1.5x or 2x sized AR robot? I wonder what the costs would be, and whether steppers would still be the go.
Hi Joeseph,
Take a look at AliExpress for ordering bolts. A lot cheaper and great selection and decent quality.
If you want them fast but still at a decent price, https://www.thefastenerfactory.com.au/ is a good choice.
Let me know if your in Melbourne.
try https://nutandboltshop.com.au/ They have most of what you want including the set screws. Nothing's cheap though. This is a high cost country
I’m based in Qld and I would be interested in building one 1.5 to 2 times bigger. What’s your thoughts Chris?
