optional:
littlemachineshop carries x-axis thrust bearings. these may be used in place.
Pulleys:
From Stock Drive Products and Sterling Instrument
For Z-axis.

A 6B 3-060037 .200" (XL) Pitch, 60 Teeth, 3/8" Wide, Urethane Belt
A 6A 3-16DF03708 .200 (XL) Pitch, 16 Teeth, Aluminum Alloy Timing Pulley
Hoss used:
A 6A 3-32DF03712 .200 (XL) Pitch, 32 Teeth, Aluminum Alloy Timing Pulley
I ordered this. (The original was out of stock.)
A 6A 3-32NF03712 .200 (XL) Pitch, 32 Teeth, Aluminum Alloy Timing Pulley
Which doesn't have flanges on the pulley, and has a 1.5" hub
Some savings can be achieved by using plastic pulleys. Given the strain, I opted for aluminum.
Ballscrews:
