Am looking for some 2040 section myself, wondering who else might be interested. Prices are ex tax, pickup in Aldergrove, we can work that out later. I didn’t ask about 4040 but will if there is demand. Am sticking to 1m lengths to keep this simple. Am not interested in non-metric but they have stock in BC of that (grrr… metric country my ass). They are the BC dealer for 8020 extrusion.
Group buy closes at 8pm Thursday Feb 25th, they need the order by Feb 28th for mid March delivery. I think we are limited to 100lbs due to import issues, can repeat at the end of March for April delivery if needed.
You can easily laser cut or 3d print brackets to join this stuff, you can also tap the ends.
Could you please find out about the 20-4040? thanks
Edit: I would also like to get some:
Post Edit: NVM, the hardware is way cheaper at Aliexpress. I’m going to order the following from AliExpress, let me know if you want me to order extras for anyone.
Is there a charge for cutting the 4m standard lengths? Personally I would prefer 2m lengths to reduce waste, I understand this would only work if everyone was ordering multiples of 2.
So far my order is:
4m of 2020 ($35.28)
4m of 2040 ($61.60)
2m of 4040 (depending on the price)
Thanks for joining in, I’ll let you know when I hear back on the 4040, given the above it’s likely to be slightly less than 2 x 2040.
The standard lengths are 1m as I understand it. From what I can tell there is a $2.73 cutting charge on other lengths. I think 2m would be 2x1m + 2.73.
I ordered some t-nuts from Aliexpress and they didn’t fit properly, too small. Check the dimensions against the extrusion. I’ve been using these t-nuts:
I’m not saying don’t order them or wanting to malign one particular vendor on Aliexpress, I’m sure they fit some extrusion. The point is to check the manufacturers’ drawings to make certain that parts from different suppliers will work together. I did not and ended up with a box of t-nuts that I’ll one day order some extrusion for.
Given there’s only two of us and I’m not ordering much I need to check on the courier costs. They’re only open 8-4 weekdays so pickup isn’t really an option.
I have a friend out there, he could pick it up during the week, I pick it up from him on the weekend. Maybe for the cost of a six pack for his trouble. What’s the address?
