Nuts and Bolts - A Hardware Hello World Project [$5 awarded]

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the use of Bountysource and the GitHub issue tracker for hardware projects.

We have chosen a simple and representative hardware project in order to illustrate the full process of creating, backing, performing, and documenting a hardware project, and last but not least, claiming the bounty!

Project Requirements

1. Obtain a nut and a bolt that have a common thread size.
2. Assemble the nut onto the bolt.
3. Document your completed nut-bolt assembly by creating a page on the RepRap wiki. Include a picture of your completed nut-bolt assembly, in addition to any design files and a complete description of the assembly process.

In order to claim the bounty, your description must include all necessary details and design files such that your work can be replicated by someone else.

Create a configuration tool for RepRap firmware [$50]

Problem:

To configure a RepRap for a particular printer, users have to edit a C header file. This can be tricky and error prone. Some firmwares allow a config file to be stored on an SD card, but the file still needs editing by hand.

Required

A user friendly config tool. The tool should be allow the user to select config settings, and then export the settings to a C header file, or other text file.

The tool should be cross-platform, at least Windows, Unix. The tool can store a local database of settings in a format such as XML, it does not need to read and parse a C header file, although that would be nice at least for initial import.

The tool may be written in any suitable language such as Python, Java, C#. The project must be published with a GPL or other Open Source license.
