How many bearings does Mendelssohn use?

have been scouring the site for this tidbit of information, but can't find it anywhere.
Quite a number of the assemblies in the mendel mechanical construction guide in the wiki don't mention the bearings used in the BOM.
The bearing video suggests that there are 10 per axis for a total of 30, but I'd like something a bit more definite, as much as that's possible with a beta design.

I'd expect it to be in the assembly datasheet somewhere too, but no such luck.

If the number of bearings required is the only oversight then we're in luck smiling bouncing smiley

From the ODS spreadsheet on
[objects.reprap.org]

608-bearing.par Bearing 2
624-bearing.par Bearing 48

So 50 bearings in total. I'm going to need a few more 624's, as I only bought 40 thinking that was plenty! smiling smiley

Edit - that's for Mendel; I think Mendelssohn is Vik's variant with far fewer bearings.
