Thats A windows, an B 18-pre.  I have 18 here, but not the supporting 
python stuff without updateing to buster, I'm still on stretch. And I'm 
not going out to get a new drive for a buster install with this damned 
virus on the loose. I do have some 240GB SSD's which ought to be good 
enough, but I'm also waiting for the Linuxcnc folks to spin up a buster 
installer and AIUI, its the RTAI for a later kernel than 3.20 that is 
the holdup. So I'm stuck on stretch and freecad 16 ATM.

Where it will expire from lack of oxygen. :)

Yes, so I can order enough screws to assemble at least 3 of these once I 
do some size trimming to make it better, both the flexgear, and the 
driving bearing carrier need scaled up a couple percent to optimize the 
engagement.  At these qty's, I may as well order boxes of the common 
types. All allen head cap style.
from greping it looks like 

4 ea M3x10 screws per unit, are nema-17 motor mounts, needs M3 nuts on 
inside, but are not listed, nor shown when taken apart by freecad. ???
self-threading in the plastic?
14 ea M4x10 screws per unit
2 ea M4x15 screws per unit
6 ea M4x25 screws per unit
18 ea M4_NUT's per unit
2 ea SQ_NUT_M4 per unit

I think that covers it.

Thanks for the push Martin.
