Hi,
I live in Seattle and am starting a club at my school in which we will build and upgrade a 3d printer. We are trying to build it by the end of the school year so I have bought a kit for it, but I want to source the parts for the upgrade locally as much as possible. The printer is a RepRapPro Mendel, and the upgrade will be an additional two extruders. The parts I envision being able to buy locally would be metric fasteners, the fan/heatsink, and PTFE tube. Are there any places where I might be able to purchase those items?
So far I have been able to find Stoneway Hardware, these guys:
ProfessionalPlastics, and Fry's electronics for the fan.
