Metric threaded rod?

[Shawn Wilson]

Hi all,

I'm working on collecting the pieces for a 3d printer (http://reprap.org/wiki/Wilson_Assembly).  I know already it's not the best choice, but I have most of the parts now, so I'm going to give it a go.  I am lacking the following parts and was wondering if someone had a local source.  Mostly, I'm looking for the t-slot nuts and M_ threaded rod.  I'm assuming I can get the rest at Home Depot.

• M10 threaded rods
  
• M5 threaded rods
• M2, M3, M4, M5, M10 screws (various sizes), nuts, lock nuts and washers
• T-slot nuts
  
• M8 bolt

Thanks,

Shawn

Trans world in burnside carries most of the above at very good pricing. The have both hardened and regular threaded rod.   I'm not sure what is better at this point. They might not have M2. I might have some to spare left over from my quadcopter.  Trans world has a minimum purchase of like $10 cash or $20 for debit/credit.

What size T-nut nuts do you need? Busy bee tools have a few larger sizes. I'm not sure if transworld had any. I can easily mill down regular nuts into t-slot nuts when I get back from Florida. I've made a few for my mill before I got my clamping kit.

I've got 100 each of m4 and m5 t-nuts coming on a slow boat from China. You're welcome to have some of those.

Trans-world is great for nuts and bolts. They also stock ACME threaded rod along with the metric.

Thanks, guys.  Sounds like I'll have to check out Trans World.  The T-slot nut sizes aren't specified, but they go into 80/20 extrusion.

You can print decent T nuts. Also, you can change the settings for number of steps per inch and go with ansi treaded rod instead, which is easier to find and often cheaper in Canada.

Thanks. I think my original inquiry was years ago now. Another project that never materialized. :)
