Looking for a 9mm GT2 Timing belt in Eastern Ontario Canada

May 17, 2019 12:55 PM

I need to buy a 9mm GT2 Open ended Timing belt near Ottawa Ontario as the question says.

I broke my 9mm GT2 Timing belt on my CNC machine, that I had just bought. It got snagged and snapped (as well as I had it too tight). I expect growing pains like this BUT. I HAVE taken Monday - Thursday off work next week, specifically to teach myself how to use it.

I live in the Ottawa Ontario Area and have been searching for a place to get one. BUT I am frustrated now. I can order online but I will already lose the whole weekend as well. On top of that Amazon does not have any that ship quickly.

Does anyone have any idea how I could get this part this weekend? or Even by Monday at the worst?

It looks like there are some Ontario places that sell these. Can you phone them RIGHT NOW and arrange a fedex to pick one up for overnight delivery? I.e. set up your own special delivery and not rely on their normal shipping process?

GT2 is the standard drive gear for 3D printers, though only a few use 9 mm instead of 6. 3D printer suppliers seem thin on the ground in Ottawa: maybe ask the Hack613 or Makerspace North? Active Tech in Nepean only sell trivial 3D printing stuff, and Gervais' website is so bad I can't even.
