The ones I have are warped and I can't get any quality from rods at my local HW shop (all are way more warped than what I have).

Anyone have quality rods they can sell me?

go metric instead winking smiley

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

Next printer I build I will definitely go metric. I originally assumed I would buy a lot of hardware locally but it turned out most hardware stores have horrible quality (and I couldn't get any metric stuff - esp 3mm items). Ended up buying most items online anyway - so you are right - will go metric next time.
