1. The files can be generated for different rod sizes. A lot of kits use the 8mm as its cheaper and its the same rod used for the older Prusa's.
As for generating the files I presume you use OpenSCAD set your parameters then export to STL.
2. Greg's uses the same vitamins as Wade's only less of them. The original Wade's has 4 bolts (springs and washers) holding the idler, Greg's uses 2 (and one small one for the hinge). I disassembled my old Wade's and reused the parts in a Greg's and they all worked fine, plus I now have spares.
3. This is the list of parts I got printed for my Prusa i3 (boxed)
4 Y Axis Corner Blocks for M8
1 Y Axis Stepper Motor Mounting
1 Y Axis Belt Idler Mounting
1 Lower Left Z Axis Mounting Bracket
1 Lower Right Z Axis Mounting Bracket
1 Upper Right Z Axis Mounting Bracket
1 Upper Left Z Axis Mounting Bracket
1 X Axis Stepper Motor End Mounting for 8MM Smooth Rods
1 X Axis Idler Bearing End Mounting for 8MM Smooth Rods
1 X Axis Carriage Mounts for LM8UU
1 Y Axis Belt GRIP / Mounting for GT2 Belts
3 Y Axis Build Platform Bearing Mounts for LM8UU
3 End Stop Switch 8MM Mountings
4 Y Axis - 4 hole - 8MM Mounting Blocks
Hope this helps.

I am just collecting the parts to build Prusa i3... it is not that simple the official documentation needs more work especially for people new to reprap.
1. Smooth Rods: in this link [reprap.org] 8mm smooth rods are used but in STL files [github.com] 10mm smooth rod is used.
what is the correct one? I already already have 8mm rods.
2. Extruder : [github.com] ... Greg's-Wade extruder is the same as Wade extruder? most of the kits use wade extruder not Greg's Wade extruder.
3. how do I know what exactly to print? to print STL files or to edit SCAD configuration then generate STL file (I don't like this option, I might do sever mistakes)?

Those would really good to see, any plans for releasing the STLs ? colour scheme is cool too
