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?

    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.

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