As of 11/13/2015 Not working. RD

Working Beautifully! I had to completely dismantle the extruder. Someone had jammed a ton of orange PLA in there. I even had to drill it out of the plastic part just above the hot end. There was melted material oozing out all kinds of places that it shouldn't be. The actual hot end was packed full of this carbon type stuff (maybe over heated PLA?). I replaced the .5 extrusion tip with the .35 tip. I believe the .5 is permanently damaged due to abusive scraping of the tip. (Scraping the tip will not unclog the head) LG 5/14/2015

Hasn't been used much. Spool-holding bolt is inadequate to hold a spool. Doesn't appear to be extruding ABS even at 230 C. Investigating. RD 5/8/2015

Lulzbot's slic3r config has the infill density set at 0.75. Resulting prints are very sturdy as a result, but the filament consumption and print time go up because of this. It is recommended to turn it down to 0.15 or 0.25, and to increase the number of infill shells. Doing so should have a similar surface quality, but produce a print with significantly less mass.

The printer is currently configured for 3mm ABS plastic. Only use this kind of plastic. Until Aeva has a chance to upgrade the extruder, PLA can damage the hot end. Additionally, the Makerbot is not configured for 3mm ABS, and so the filament for these respective printers is currently not interchangeable.

Status

As of 11/13/2015 Not working. RD

Working Beautifully! I had to completely dismantle the extruder. Someone had jammed a ton of orange PLA in there. I even had to drill it out of the plastic part just above the hot end. There was melted material oozing out all kinds of places that it shouldn't be. The actual hot end was packed full of this carbon type stuff (maybe over heated PLA?). I replaced the .5 extrusion tip with the .35 tip. I believe the .5 is permanently damaged due to abusive scraping of the tip. (Scraping the tip will not unclog the head) LG 5/14/2015

Hasn't been used much. Spool-holding bolt is inadequate to hold a spool. Doesn't appear to be extruding ABS even at 230 C. Investigating. RD 5/8/2015

Operation

Don't forget to turn the printer off when you are no longer using it. Also, wipe your own nose.

Windows Drivers

Windows users will need to install drivers. For everyone else, It Just Works™. Where everyone = Linux and OSX users.

Usable Print Area

200mm (X-axis) x 190mm (Y-axis) x 100mm (Z-axis) (7.9in x 7.5in x 3.9in)

Host Software

Users of Linux, Windows, OSX will need to install the following software:

  • Pronterface - or Repeteir-Host for manual operation of the printer as well as for starting print jobs
  • Slic3r - for creating gcode (print jobs) from 3D models
  • Additionally, Lulzbot provides a config file for the AO-100 LulzBot. (Note: remember to change nozzle to .5 after importing the config file.)

Suggested Settings

Nozzle diameter = 0.35 mm

Filament diameter = 3.0 mm

COM port - 4 (usually)

Data rate = 115200

Temperature (degrees C) Extruder: 230 Bed: 110


Lulzbot's slic3r config has the infill density set at 0.75. Resulting prints are very sturdy as a result, but the filament consumption and print time go up because of this. It is recommended to turn it down to 0.15 or 0.25, and to increase the number of infill shells. Doing so should have a similar surface quality, but produce a print with significantly less mass.

Other Resources

The manual is available online. A printed form of it can be found near the printer. The manual explains how to operate the printer. Read it =)

Filament

The printer is currently configured for 3mm ABS plastic. Only use this kind of plastic. Until Aeva has a chance to upgrade the extruder, PLA can damage the hot end.

Find Something to Print

Thingiverse is a great place to find printable 3D models that other people have designed, and to publish your own.
