Anyone stateside want to share where they sourced the aluminum bar from? Having a heck of a time finding anything metric at all. If you subbed imperial sizes, would be curious what you used as I haven't been able to find much equivalent to 15mm (5/8?).
Thanks!

Ali is your friend - I got all mine from there Aliexpress
I found a place in Socal called Orange Aluminum. Aluminum Extrusions Supplier | Orange Aluminum. Very inexpensive and they carry the correct sizes for the build.
I see them on EBAY
US Stock 10pcs 3mm x 15mm x 250mm 6061 Aluminum Flat Bar Flat Plate Sheet | eBay
i gave up on sourcing anything metric over here and just resorted to resin printing the parts
I wasn't able to find anything in the usa. i ended up buying 3/4“ flat bar and using a band saw to cut it to 15mm wide
