I eventually took the decision to refurbish my old UMO.
Does anybody have a source for good hardware in EU?
Don't answer Misumi -- they don't sell to individuals so I can't order from them...
Any good source for decent linear bearings and rods in EU?

You could try Igus, they do good bearings and cable guides etc, are also good for samples and have their own filaments

I already looked at Igus, but I only found their DryLin series...
Do they also have linear ball bearings? I could not find them.
The good thing with Igus is they sell any quantities to anybody...

@Paul, thanks, by it is a bit crazy, and if goes through customs prices are going to be ballistic 
@Izzy, yes I'll try to see with them -- I am very tempted to try their DryLin, it is what they have in the BQ Witbox printers and result was very good. It won't be worse than my Chinese bearings anyway...
@Gudo, Merci! This is looking quite good!

For good (not just ok) bearings I use http://www.technobotsonline.com so far they delivered very good small linear bearings for the um2 hotend I had to replace. Also the nut I bought from them to fix a bad UM bed is still working perfectly. I only bought this two products from them and some bearings, but they seem to stock good materials.

Ahh Misumi!! Oh btw I can order Misumi, so does a few others on the UM forum on europe. The issue is that I need to pay 20€ per order just on delivery. But I could be happy to assist you men. Anyhow thia technorobots web I linked they do sell good stuff so far.
