The software we use to prepare files for printing is Simplify3D. To run a print, save the gcode file to a USB drive, then plug it in to the port located above the touch screen.

About our machine

  • Model: Lulzbot TAZ Pro
  • Nozzle Diameter 0.25mm - 0.8mm
  • Tool Head: TAZ Pro Dual Extruder, 2x E3D 0.50mm nozzle
  • Layer Resolution: 0.05 mm - 0.4 mm (0.002 in - 0.02 in)
  • Max Hot End Temperature: 290°C
  • Max Print Surface Temperature: 120°C
  • Print Surface: Spring steel and PEI
  • Leveling: Automatic Z-Axis Compensation
  • Maximum Print Speed 200 mm/sec
  • Filament Compatibility PLA, ABS, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Blends, TPU 85A & 95A (Flexible), PETG, PETT, Copolyester, PVB (Polycast), PVA, HIPS, and many more 3rd party filaments.
  • Filament Diameter 2.85 mm
  • Print Volume 280 mm x 280 mm x 285 mm (11.02" x 11.02" x 11.22")

The software we use to prepare files for printing is Simplify3D. To run a print, save the gcode file to a USB drive, then plug it in to the port located above the touch screen.

Note: This printer uses 2.85mm filaments. All of the other printers in the Electronics Lab use 1.75mm filaments. They are not compatible with each other.

Guides and Manuals

  • Make sure to wait until the printer has finished printing the entire first layer with no issues before walking away. If it has issues, stop the print and try to troubleshoot.

General Tips and Safety

  • Always watch the first layer! If it's not sticking down to begin with, it's not going to work.
  • Watch the auto-leveling process when it starts. If you see the bed move down when the nozzle makes contact, it will be off. Cancel the print and clean the nozzle manually with the cleaning brush, then try again.
  • If the first layer isn't coming out, the nozzle may be too close to the bed. While it is printing, use the Nudge Nozzle option in the menu, and raise the Z axis by .4mm. If that is not high enough, continue raising it by 0.1mm until it starts coming out.
