Parts for homebrew configs

Can anyone recommend a good place to get parts for a homebrew system (available to Canada, at a reasonable price).

Full disclosure, I’m actually looking to build a large 3D scanning system but in terms of movement of the camera heads, I’ve been looking at my printer and thinking that it could use a similar configuration though on a slightly larger scale (rails, with a wheeled+track system for horizontal and large spiraled cylinder for vertical) , but I have no idea where to source these sort of parts.

Any ideas?

Alfiegerner,

I stumbled upon local (in NZ) maker sites by searching for the relevant components, e.g. stepper motors 20x20 extrusion etc.

Using site:NZ in google for local searches for me, maybe site:ca for you?

snota,

Voron allow you to configure a printer and the provide a spreadsheet suggesting the sources for buying the parts. They aren’t region specific but most of the vendors are multinational.

IMALlama,

Have you ever seen anything like this? There’s no need for a massive beefy frame, all you need is a jig to rotate your subject relative to the camera. You can do this with a fixed camera while rotating the subject around two axis or you can rotate the subject around one axis and the camera around another.

phx,

Yeah I was looking at that, but I’m looking for something that scales fairly large (human bodies +) and kinda feel that a vertical track with maybe a rotating pedestal would work best

nyan,

Spool3D has a fair assortment of printer parts, although I don’t know if they have exactly what you need. They’re in Calgary. I’ve ordered from them once, although it was just filament samples, and got everything in a reasonable amount of time.

phx,

This is pretty much exactly what I read looking for. Thanks!

shitescalates,

I’m wondering the same, but for the US. I ordered from banggood in years back, but it was hit or miss.
