Amendments proposed in comments (uncomfirmed)

think i also found some errors in the plan:

you say 10*(M3*30) i can only find 6 on the drawing… maybe you counted the 4
threaded rod in to the number?

close conected to above… you say 2*(threaded rod M5*100) but i count 4, one
at each end of the 2 walls or one in each corner if you will

you forgot all the nuts:

22*M3
14*M5
8*M6

and some washers for the ubolts so the wood is not crushed

8*M6

for under the long alu angles (one in each end of bolt)

12*M3

same for the 4 rods

8*M5

for the short alu angles

4*M6

for the 4 bolts that holds the bearings on the holder for pick&place and microscope

8*M3

Vacuum pen, should have straight nozzle (This one definitely has a straight nozzle available. This is a cheaper one but looks quite different to the one used in the original build.)
Small aquarium pump (Maybe this one? This is the one used in the reversing instructions, available from USA only. We could also think about a more integrated solution of pick-up-tool and pump like this or this)
Wire from notebook (compression spring for vacuum pen)
Footswitch (this one?)
Dispenser bottle for additional tips (Source linked from the blog post.)
(Optional) USB microscope
