Components
| Supplier | Free Shipping? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Futurlec | No | Good supplier, very cheap SMD to DIP converter's which are useful for prototyping. |
| RS Components | No | Not always the cheapest, but you can collect from a trade counter. |
| Farnell | Yes | Larger selection than RS and free shipping, however there is a minimum order to qualify. |
| Digikey | Yes | Even larger selection than Farnell and free shipping on orders over £50. |
| eBay | Varies | Always a good place to start, direct access to Chinese sellers without the risk. |
Tools
Circuit Specialists - Soldering equipment, blackjack range is very good for the price.
Wholesale Chinese Suppliers
IC2IC - Good for large orders, also able to find discontinued components.
Hardware
| Supplier | Free Shipping? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Butler Fasters and Fixings | n/a | Excellent supplier. Small place, piled high with boxes of every obscure nut and bolt you can think of. Incredibly helpful in tracking down things to fit other things. |
Bicycle tools and parts
| Supplier | Free Shipping? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| J E James Cycles | Yes | Bad supplier, website lists things as in stock when they're not. |
Key Cutting and Engraving
| Supplier | Free Shipping? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quick Services | n/a | Best place we've found to have hackspace keys cut. Generally have the right blanks in stock, reasonable prices. |
