The cheapest source of miniature bearings in NZ that I have found so far is NZ Miniature Bearings BUT at the moment it is still cheaper to get a full mendel set from Mendel-Parts in the Netherlands!by xsainnz - New Zealand RepRap User Group
I'm in Hamilton so I've only contacted the local suppliers so far All but one were more expensive that paying the $66 freight from Small Parts in Oz! Just had a look at vxb.com, the prices and rates certainly are better I will probably place an order with them early next week, so if anyone is interested in sharing shipping costs send me a pm or post in this threadby xsainnz - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Does anyone have a good source for the smaller bearings (626 etc) I am yet to contact SKF but they seem to be at the high end and shipping from Small Parts Oz is a killerby xsainnz - New Zealand RepRap User Group

The thought had crossed my mind, but the average price of the RepRap printed ones on e-bay and elsewhere was quite low at the time so I did not pursue it have a look a the design files for the makerbot or bits from bytes extruders to see how screw holes can be dealt withby xsainnz - Plastic Extruder Working Group
Have you tried the NEMA website? Found one document "ics16" that had some info but couldn't find anything for the smaller steppers The registration fro download is freeby xsainnz - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors

Ross I agree the 'downloads' section is not very clear, but it is there, try the 'documents and files' option on the left hand side Alternately you could try downloading it from the reprap svn repository not sure what version it isby xsainnz - RepRap Host

sid ReplicatorG and the arduino IDE are bundled with Java (..\replicatorg-0001\java) the same could be done for the RR Host to make it 'portable' The java compiler is not capable of making exe files, you can use something like Lauch4j to create an executable wrapper around the jar and set runtime options, splash screens and other bells and whistles peteredworthy unchanged install.xml attacheby xsainnz - RepRap Host
Following the recent discussions regarding the general ease of use and easy to follow instructions, here is another all-in-one installer for windows.

AFAIK stl files only represent the outer sides/faces of a object so internal structures are 'not allowed', but may possible this would probably depend on how strict the renderer or printing software is Any logos, codes etc on the outer surfaces would only be limited by imaginationby xsainnz - General

The ponoko designs should not be confused with these from Bits from Bytes designed by Ian Adkins which also in the sourceforge repository The laser cut ply designs on sourceforge, presumably the same version as on ponoko are based on the designs by Toby Borland which were modified by Vic Olliver From the info here and having had a look at and worked on the svg files the designs are not perfectby xsainnz - Reprappers

If the error trace is still the same as in you first post I do not think the problem is not with the com port settings. The host software is doing what it should when it cant find or communicate with the reprap hardware Looks to me like this is the error stopping it all: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/GroupLayout$Group at org.reprap.Main$22.runby xsainnz - RepRap Host
