This thread is dedicated to those looking for alternative sources for components and materials for building a CERA-1 Extruder.

I'm going to kick this off with a couple links:

2.75" ID x 3" OD Polycarbonate Tubing:

Canada Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000OMHJQ2/

US Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Polycarbonate-Tubing-Wall-Length/dp/B000OMHJQ2/

Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Polycarbonate-Lexan-Clear-Tube-Tubing-3-0-OD-x-2-75-ID-3-x-2-3-4-950/123123514651?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

A alternative source for the 750mm long 10 lead screw with 2mm pitch can be found at this link on aliexpress for $40.37 (canadian dollars) : 

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001184450331.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.224e4c4dKIkEZp

Note: this item listing also includes a T10 leadscrew nut (with 2mm pitch).

The shipping through UPS is very fast and the screw is packaged super securely by the seller.

The current/old listing for the 700mm T10 leadscrew on the bill of materials (BOM) has failed to be sent to myself and another artist twice:

(first the package was denied at customs and returned to the seller, and in the second attempt only the packaging was received with the leadscrew completely missing :O)

Hope this helps other Cera-1 builders out there!
