Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows a good place in Aus to get PEI sheet?
Most of the stuff I can find online comes from the States and has a pretty horrific postage price...
Is there anywhere locally that stocks it?
Local source of PEI sheets?

Re: Local source of PEI sheets?
I'm actually communicating with a guy in China who makes PEI, and he was just introduced to the 3D printing market. He's sending me a 300mm circle for me to confirm the dimensions, and then I suspect that we'll talk about distribution. I'll let you know how that goes. Until then, source them where MHackney links to.

Re: Local source of PEI sheets?
Spent some time searching last year and came up empty in Australia.
I think ePlas could get something in but it was a big sheet, thick and horrendously expensive.

I got my sheet from here:
http://www.fabricat3d.com.au/build-plat ... e-backing/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You can ask for an 'uncut sheet', which is 300 x 300mm. It's easy to cut to dimensions, I used a dremel, but a jigsaw with a fine blade, or even a sharp stanley knife could be used to score and snap it to the right dimensions.

Yeah, I bought my 300mm PEI square from Fabricat3d; a nice guy in East Brisbane. The cheap PLA I bought off him has been nice so far, as well.
Re: Local source of PEI sheets?
What about Sydney, could I get it here from market or should I also search on internet? I am also looking for Australian base sheets as import will charge me TAX!
