Order has been dispatched :D

My order of bits from sdp-si has been shipped according to an email i recieved, except they are out of the 2 x 17 tooth pulleys, so these will be shipped at a later date, but for now the belrts and gears are on their way :D I did purchase open belt strips, as the other belts were out of stock, so i will have to find a way of attaching the ends tog to make the larger belt for the z axis... we shall see when i get it :D

I sold my ibooks and ipod touch to fund my maker bot and so far its looking great.

I painted the bearing brackets - and got accused of escaping from a mental hospital by the police whilst i was doing so... haha, i also painted the insides white, with the view of using some RGB leds to make it colourful... or just red... but the outside... i dont know what colour - any suggestions?

Pics are on my flickr pool :D

hi, the order came within 2 weeks (one parcel took customs), however one set was delayed! watch out tho - as the precision rods and the tooth pully are wrong sizes according to the order list on the website, the rods are 8mm and i ordered 6mm... the holes in the pulleys were 1mm to big :( the rods can be found in many printers - if ur in uk i can end you some :)
