Some of you who are reading this have probably seen my looking for tau bits listing on the trade depot and know im on the hunt for specific pieces. I was curious if anyone on here knows of a Canadian online bits stores like they have in the Uk region or what bits stores you like to use/buy from. Id prefer to stay away from print bits stores i.e 3dprinted bits but if it can't be helped im willing to use it to to make my unique/cool models.

So, I just spent about 15 or so minutes searching for a Canadian bits store. All I can seem to find is a site that takes bits off the sprue to sell individually, and not any sites that sell alternative parts. Sorry. I have found alternative parts for tau, but on sites that you pay with euros or pounds, so they overseas and not Canadian.
The best idea I can think of is to look into some alternative models, for example from Wargames Exclusive (note that while they have some great stuff, they also have a bunch of NSFW models, so be careful), and then browse the Meeplemart website. It is Canadian, and they sometimes carry parts or models from these companies. It's a store based in Toronto.
I'm sorry that I couldn't help properly.

There have been a few “bitz swap” events that have happened at Nexus, but by and large; a lot of it comes down to getting someone to clip it from one of their sprues, or printing as you’ve already mentioned. Printing is often MUCH cheaper than hunting the bitz down yourself; but the parts are often more brittle, as 90% of the available 3d print resin doesn’t have a good elasticity. The more elastic resins often sacrifice final detail, so there’s been some community involvement to get a blend of resins to optimize details and have some form of elasticity.
I only say reconsider printing because of what army you’re playing. Tau suits can mount what? Three of the same weapon? If you want them to ALL be armed with one kind of weapon you could be into a serious pricetag to source original bits for them all.
