As the subject stated, I’m starting an R3 build and in the BOM, the quantity of M3 bolts is listed as 100 but the description has 5 different lengths shown. Does this mean 100 of each length or the # of lengths divided into 100? Thank you in advance for any clarification I can get. I have ordered the panel kits for the R3 and have got a start on the printed parts and have some electronics on the way. I’m sure that I’ll be back to this sight with many more questions.
I think Pete is saying 100 of each. It never hurts to have some extras.
Where are you located?
Not sure if you are on discord but there is a lot of activity over there and you can usually get answers quickly.
Posting here is totally fine as well. Just giving you some options.

I have selection of M3 nuts and bolts which I use - the machine can accommodate a vary amount of lengths by design and given the price of a pack of 100 bolts of eBay. has meant it was never value added to count them!. a nice selection varying between 10 and 60mm wouldn’t go amiss.
Thank you for the reply. After the post, I did realize it was silly not to just stock up on them. BTW, my R3 starter kit arrived today. Perfect condition and the hand-written note on the invoice meant something to me. Shows great character on your part, just my 2 cents worth. Thank you again!
I do agree a tally would nice to know how of each type is needed. But I not longer have a Root 3 CNC so wouldn’t be able to count 
Ps you’re more than welcome - just keep me posted on the build - I do like to see them.
