[sudo-discuss] Re: we now have a Taz 5 3D Printer

We have been donated another 3D printer, this time a TAZ 5 which is visibly better and more solid and well put-together than the TAZ 3 we were given (by the company) 9 years ago. The catch was that it didn't have an extruder, but the extruder from the TAZ 3 very easily swapped onto it with a single screw! The TAZ 3 has never been a good 3D printer (not because of its extruder) and so i'm happy to swap its extruder onto the new one, but it still needs to be wired up - the TAZ 5 didn't come with the cable and so we need to make one. The control box uses these fancy round connectors for the extruder(s) (it can support two) and I have the pins that fit the connectors - so we can make the wiring harness as soon as we get a diagram of those connectors (the round extruder connector for the TAZ 5) I plan to heat up the heated bed on the TAZ 3 and then scoop it off of the glass plate (which is damaged) so that it can be swapped onto the Type A Machines 3D printer (the wooden one) then I plan to finish dedicating the TAZ 3 to be only for dispensing solder paste onto circuit boards, as seen here: https://hackaday.com/2014/04/02/dispensing-solder-paste-with-a-3d-printer/ also we need to find a home for the two-extruder "delta" 3D printer that's in the middle of the 3D printing desk, it's nice and has a heated bed, it just needs someone to adopt/buy it from sudoroom since it's not a great community machine (has too much personality) and we already have more than enough. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 14:14:19 -0700 and Unfortunately, pick think!_______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org More options at https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
