If you have a Grainger nearby you can possibly pick it up to avoid shipping fees. Local pipe/tubing suppliers may carry it as well.

x2 Grainger pickup no shipping cost.

Got 1010 from here. IIRC it's just drop shipped from Grainger but free shipping.

You can actually buy them direct from 8020, believe it or not.

If that's too spendy there are several clones available from various sources.

It might pay to get random lengths surplus cheap and splice them together, they make fasteners for this purpose.

The free shipping makes this the best price I've ever seen, by far.

I bought several from Zoro.com with a 20% coupon and free shipping.

 

[Voyhager3]

That is a steal and a half, cheaper than direct from 80/20, and free shipping!
I'll definitely be bookmarking that site.

Grainger x3 and local pickup save a LOT on shipping for a 13-foot stick if 2020

put in your zip code to find a local dealer if you want to minimize or avoid shipping costs.

Query: is there any known issue with third-party 1010 or 1515 rails? I mention it because it seems that some (many?) third-party 20mm rails have slightly different dimensions that do not play well with railbuttons; they can actually slip out of the rail. Could be quite bad to have that happen just as the button was pushed.

@prfesser Terry --

I checked this out last fall when I wanted to try mini rail buttons.

I've never tried 3rd party 1010 or 1515 rails that I know of ... but who knows when you're launching on the Club's Equipment ?

The 1010 and 1515 sub-pages at Rail-Buttons.com > Rail Buttons mention that their rail buttons are designed to work with 80/20 brand rails:

The 1010 railbuttons is designed to be used with the 1010 aluminum extrusion from the 80/20 company. The rail is 1" x 1".

Our 1515 railbuttons are designed to be used with 80/20's 1515 extrusion That rail is 1.5" x 1.5"

And there is an explicit caveat on the Rail-Buttons.com > Mini and Micro Railbuttons page:

Mini-buttons are available in a 3 piece nylon version and also the new 1 piece Delrin version.
Both are designed to be used with the 80/20 20mm rail.
(They may not work with some of the off brand extrusions, use genuine 80/20 extrusions for best results)

And for Rail-Buttons.com > Micro Rail Buttons, they explicitly mention:

They work with the Makerbeam 10mm rail and also the new Makerbeam XL 15mm rail.

HTH !

Best,

I thought you were supposed to get them from 80/20 - or the rails will be similar, but not the same and may not work for rockets.

Many places re-sell legit 80/20 including Mcmaster-carr.

I ordered from here. If I remember, it drop-shipped from MSC. Seem to be the best way to get what they have, but they don't have a lot of the things.

I ordered from there, too. Received 80/20 brand and was drop shipped from Grainger in ATL.

I picked up a genuine 80/20 2020 rail from Grainger > Framing Extrusion: 20 Series, 13 ft Nominal Lg, 20 mm x 20 mm, Single, 4 Open Slots, Adjacent-Sides

Picked it up at the local Grainger avoids shipping costs.

They also carry 1515 rails: Grainger > 80/20 - 1515 Rails

Picking it up at the local Grainger is 40-45 minutes out of my day during which I could be working and earning way more than the shipping cost to have someone bring it to me.

Just ordered mine from McMaster. Wish I saw this thread an hour ago.
