[sudo-discuss] lulzbot TAZ 3d printer is dead

so i spent all evening (and some of last night) to finally spool up the gigantic pile of black filament for the TAZ 3D printer. i finally got it hung from the wall with a dust cover over it and ready to feed smoothly into the printer, and then i discovered that the heating element in its extruder head is dead. oh well. so, we need a new resistor to go in there. I don't know what the original spec is, but since the whole thing runs on 24VDC and assuming 24 watts of heat, that would be a 24 ohm resistor or so. Is someone other than me interested in contacting Lulzbot and asking whether they want to send us a new resistor, or if they can tell us what part number of resistor we should get as a replacement? -jake P.S. yes i tested the resistor and it's dead, infinite ohms, it's burned out. When we get a replacement we can glue it in there better than they apparently did. If the glue goes bad it dies.
