ABS material (e.g. plastruct) in Germany?
« on: February 26, 2006, 18:51:02 »
Maybe somebody can help me out here.

Gordon recently sent me some ABS plastic samples (sheets and profiles), and I must say I love it. It opens new customization ideas/realizations (especially with the profiles), so I would like to get more of this.

Does anybody know, whether these items (e.g. from plastruct) can be purchased in Germany too? I'm located in the South, near Stuttgart/Göppingen, so a shop/vendor near here would be great; German online shops are also recommended. Any ideas?

Not of the material by itself (wouldn't also make much sense because on a photo it just looks like a 1-2 mm thick plate of shiny plastic). In the meantime I have found quite similiar material at Conrad Electronic.

I'm still owing the final result pics, i.e. what I made from the material from Gordon. Hope I can provide some pics of the pieces soon.

Ahhh  :D  Great. Yes, this seems to be a quite good link. Although there is no ABS listed (I'm not sure: I already ordered some Polystyrol, but it's more foam like than the ABS stuff Gordon send me), but anyway here the choice seems to be quite big. So far I only found a few items at Conrad electronics, but this site looks even better.

Does anybody have some experience with ordering from this vendor?
