| - | == about 1.75mm filament == | + | === can it print 1.75mm filament === |
| - | To print 1.75mm filament, a different [[https://www.lulzbot.com/?q=products/budaschnozzle-20-ptfe-tube-175mm-filament|PTFE-Tube]] would be needed. However, Lulzbot no longer manufactures or sells them. Conceivably they are easy to make yourself from aluminum or PTFE with a lathe. Seeing as their newest [[https://www.lulzbot.com/products/lulzbot-taz-single-extruder-tool-head-v2|Hexagon Hotend]] does not even mention the option of printing anything but 3mm filament, Lulzbot seems to have completely abandoned support for anything other than 3mm filament. | + | **SORRY NO** |

| - | Quote from Lulzbot-Sales 2015-09-25: > I do apologize, but we no longer carry those tubes. We have tested several filaments on our printers, and prefer the 3 mm size, as it much easier to work with. | + | |

| + | ===== Known Problems ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Metal Platform holding print-bed is bent at all corners | ||
| + | * this makes leveling harder, as the bending angle is different in all four corners | ||
| + | * this means that the Z-offset (screw below Z-Endstop on controller-side) needs to be set lower that it originally was | ||
| + | * this means, when z-leveling, the extruder-header goes lower than it was designed for and sometimes makes hurtful noises | ||
| + | * Folien gehört getauscht | ||
| + | * muss aufgeheizt werden auf 60°C bevor neue Folien aufgeklebt wird, sonst bilden sich blasen | ||
