Status
As of 6/3/2015 nozzle unclogged, tested with ABS. --Rdoeksen (talk) 19:22, 3 June 2015 (CDT)
As of 6/1/2015 clogged with PLA through the length of the hot end and nozzle. Needs to be disassembled, burned out, nozzle cleaned. Probably needs replacement nozzle. Needs replacement parts for the hot end (wood discs, maybe aluminum disk) --Rdoeksen (talk) 18:53, 1 June 2015 (CDT)
As of 5/20/2015 not clogged, running normally.
Seems to be extruding fine as of 4/30/2015. [Extruder nozzle clogged. Needs unclogging or nozzle replacement. (As of 4/28/2015, clogged )]
SD card reader DOES NOT WORK. Works only in tethered mode, driven by USB from a computer.
Spool hanging bolt on enclosure sure could use an upgrade. It is long enough but there is no positive catch to keep the spool in place.
Operation
- Turn the printer off when you are no longer using it.
Mods
Factory standard settings, accessories and equipment. Alternate Flexistruder available at PS1 but not installed.
Windows Drivers
Windows users driving the printer tethered (over a USB cable) will need to install drivers.
Usable Print Area
298mm x 275mm x 250mm (11.7in x 10.8in x 9.8in)
Nozzle size
- 0.35 mm nozzle (please verify?)
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 slic3r config file for the Taz3
- Alternately, you can use Cura by Ultimaker
Suggested Settings
Both of these files have appropriate settings for the 'printer settings' and 'filament settings' tabs. To use them, go to File > Load Config in Slic3r and select the downloaded file. You must then go to each tab and hit the 'save' icon next to the settings selection dropdown box, or else Slic3r will forget the settings when you close it.
ABS Print Settings Without Support - Fast
File:Taz3 print settings NO SUPPORT.ini
This file is for the 'print settings' tab of Slic3r. This is a 'fast' profile, geared towards finishing prints relatively quickly. It still provides excellent surface quality. This profile does not include support, so for large overhangs you'll need the next configuration file.
ABS Print Settings With Support - Fast
File:Taz3 print settings SUPPORT.ini
This file is for 'print settings' tab of Slic3r. This is a 'fast' profile, geared towards finishing prints relatively quickly. It still provides excellent surface quality. This profile includes support, appropriate for large overhangs.
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.
Filament
The extruder usually mounted accepts 3 mm filament, and can print either ABS or PLA. There is an alternate extruder for use with Ninjaflex.
Find Something to Print
Thingiverse is a great place to find printable 3D models that other people have designed, and to publish your own.
Designing 3D Models
Page in progress to describe 3D modeling.
