help in config file

Hello,
I am trying to edit the configuration file for home made wooden box frame,I din't manage to set all flags by myself.
-----------------------------------------------------
"layer_height = 0.3;
width_over_thickness = 2.2;"
to leave as is?
"idler_bearing = bearing_624;"
I chose 624 because I saw most of the people use 624 instead of the default 623.
-----------------------------------------------------
"i_am_box = 1;"
Obvious.
"// if you do your own plate and can move bottom Z screws 5mm up set this to 0 to
// get stronger motor mount. Only for i_am_box = 0
i_want_to_use_single_plate_dxf_and_make_my_z_weaker = 1;"
what this means?
-----------------------------------------------------
"//Use 5.4 for M10 or 4.4 for M8
y_threaded_rod_long_r = 5.4;"
I am using both M8 and M10 as in the wiki page. what is the correct value for me?
-----------------------------------------------------
"// Use 12 for single plate
// or 20 if you want to use the Y lm8uu holders
// (extras/bearing-holder-single-plate-y)
board_thickness = 12;"
I will be using LM8UU as recommended, the board thickness is 12mm as the wooden plate thickness. to leave it 12mm?
-----------------------------------------------------
"// These constants define the geometry of the doc/complete-printer.scad
bed_x_size=225;
bed_y_size=225;
x_smooth_rod_length=380+board_thickness*2;
y_smooth_rod_length=400;
z_smooth_rod_length=320;"
those values do not match the values given in the wiki page. does it matter?
-----------------------------------------------------
after choosing the right settings. how do I run the Makefile on windows7?If I want to generate STL files manually I convert all SCAD files to SLT including all file under "extra" folder"? some parts are not mentioned in "i3.tdoc",print them anyway?
Thanks

Your questions are a bit confusing?

I used this info to build my prusa i3 österlen 3d skrivare.

But if you are going to build a wooden prusa so get these printed parts !
Its the prusa i3 rework If I remember it right.

The hardware you nead.

How to build it!

Hi,
what is confusing in my questions?I will revise the post.
I am just trying to figure out what should be the configuration file like setting correctly this flag " i_want_to_use_single_plate_dxf_and_make_my_z_weaker = 1;"

any help ?

This is settings that will be used in the slicer when you print. If you can print the parts using those settings then ok to leave (layer height of 0.3mm and extrusion width of 0.66mm).

624 is fine. That is what i also used.

Since you are using box frame, i_want_to_use_single_plate_dxf_and_make_my_z_weaker isn't used.

That is for the long threaded rods, M10 is the default value. There will still be M8 for the short sides.

12 is default. If you have a thicker frame then you will need to adjust.

As it says, its only if you compile the complete printer which is only to make a model of the whole printer, not needed.

Windows doesn't natively handle makefiles. Yes you can just open all the scad and create stl manually, the makefile will just automate it. Just choose the ones in the extras folder you want.

Thanks
I just sent the STL file for printing
