Add BOM or at least list of rod lengths

pelrun opened this issue · 2 comments

I found myself in my hackerspace with a bunch of uncut threaded rod, the instruction pdf, and no internet connection. The instructions do mention the lengths of some of the rods in the descriptions of the steps, but not for all of them.

It'd be useful if the instructions had a list of the lengths (or even a full BOM) so it can be used even if you don't have immediate access to the prusa mendel wiki page.

Good idea - it's in version 3

It would also be nice to know how many pieces of say 1 meter threaded rods one needs. Especially on a all to hot day like this, im of to buy those vitamins and my brain isnt working properly after a while.
To quote the reprap wiki:

"Rod 1: 370mm, 370mm, 210mm, ~50mm (The last piece will end up somewhat shorter than 50mm. Use it for your idler. Alternatively, an M8x30 or longer bolt can be used.)
Rod 2: 370mm, 370mm, 210mm, ~50mm
Rod 3: 370mm, 294mm, 294mm, ~42mm
Rod 4: 370mm, 294mm, 294mm, ~42mm
Rod 5: 440mm, 440mm, ~120mm
Rod 6: 440mm
"

Great work man. Thanks!
