== Description ==

36" Wide format printer, non-archival.

People using the printer should provide a donation of:
* $1 per square foot for full coverage color prints (photos/art)
* $0.25 per square foot for partial coverage prints (text/blue prints/etc)

Some donated media may be provided by the area host, and may be found next to the printer. It is recommended that you provide your own media and that it should be designed for use in a HP designjet printer. Roll media can be up to 36" wide and must be on 2" core.

Example media:

* Plain paper http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000J3M5

LulzBot AO-100 3D Printer

2014-09-15T17:15:12Z

Mark: /* Added name to list */

|doesitwork = yes
|contact = Elizabeth
|where = [[CNC]] 2nd Floor
|value = $1725
|itemphoto=
| image = Lulzbot.jpg
}}

== Operation ==
'''Do not leave the printer unattended while printing'''
Also, don't forget to turn the printer off when you are no longer using it.

=== Windows Drivers ===
Windows users will need to install drivers.
For everyone else, It Just Works™. Where everyone = Linux and OSX users.

=== Usable Print Area ===
200mm (X-axis) x 190mm (Y-axis) x 100mm (Z-axis)
(7.9in x 7.5in x 3.9in)

=== Host Software ===
Users of Linux, Windows, OSX will need to install the following software:
* [https://github.com/kliment/Printrun#getting-printrun Pronterface] - or [http://www.repetier.com/download/ Repeteir-Host] for manual operation of the printer as well as for starting print jobs
* [http://slic3r.org/download Slic3r] - for creating gcode (print jobs) from 3D models
* Additionally, Lulzbot provides a [http://downloads.lulzbot.com/lulzbot/AO-100/software/2012-Q2/configs/slic3r/point5mm.ini slic3r config file] for the AO-100 LulzBot.

=== Suggested Settings ===
Nozzle diameter = 0.5 mm

Filament diameter = 3.0 mm

COM port - ?

Data rate = 115200

Temperature (degrees C)
Extruder: 230
Bed: 110

Lulzbot's slic3r config has the infill density set at 0.75. Resulting prints are very sturdy as a result, but the filament consumption and print time go up because of this. It is recommended to turn it down to 0.15 or 0.25, and to increase the number of infill shells. Doing so should have a similar surface quality, but produce a print with significantly less mass.

=== Other Resources ===
[http://downloads.lulzbot.com/lulzbot/AO-100/documentation/2012Q3/ The manual is available online]. A printed form of it can be found near the printer. The manual explains how to operate the printer. Read it =)

=== Filament ===
The printer is currently configured for 3mm ABS plastic. Only use this kind of plastic. Until Aeva has a chance to upgrade the extruder, PLA can damage the hot end. Additionally, the Makerbot is not configured for 3mm ABS, and so the filament for these respective printers is currently not interchangeable.

}}

== Operation ==
'''Do not leave the printer unattended while printing'''
Also, don't forget to turn the printer off when you are no longer using it.

=== Windows Drivers ===
Windows users will need to [https://www.lulzbot.com/support/TAZ install drivers.]

=== Usable Print Area ===
298mm x 275mm x 250mm (11.7in x 10.8in x 9.8in)

=== Host Software ===
Users of Linux, Windows, OSX will need to install the following software:
* [https://github.com/kliment/Printrun#getting-printrun Pronterface] - or [http://www.repetier.com/download/ Repeteir-Host] for manual operation of the printer as well as for starting print jobs

== 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.

==== 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.

==== Print Settings With Support - Fast ====

HP DesignJet 755CM Large Format Printer

2014-08-25T04:35:37Z

Mark: /* Let's make this machine better */ This printer now works for black and white.

{{Template:EquipmentPage
| owner = PS:One
| model = Hewlett Packard DesignJet 755CM
| serial=
| arrived = 2009
| doesitwork = yes
| contact = CTO
| where = Arts area
| certification = no
| hackable = no
| value = ~$200
| image = Designjet.jpg
}}
== Technical Information ==
* Specs from HP: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=bpp01854
* Drivers (Use HP Designjet 750C) http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/
* Color format: CMYK
* Ink cartridge type: Color - HP 44 (Individual cyan, magenta, yellow) Black - HP 45
** Black cartridge available for ink refill at MicroCenter

* Maximum print area: 3' x 50' (according to HP's website) A0 preset works on ubuntu.
* The printer is hooked up to the IBM ThinkPad immediately to its right. The ThinkPad has all the software on it to print pretty much anything you want to the printer.
=== ThinkPad ===
The ThinkPad is dedicated to printing whatever you like on the DesignJet 755CM. It contains the following software:
* Inkscape (latest as of 2/28/2013)
* Adobe Acrobat Reader IX
* Adobe Creative Suite CS2
** Photoshop CS2
** Illustrator CS2
** InDesign CS2
The computer is on the network as ''Printy''. You can connect to it and transfer your files (there's a public share called "Printing") that way or just use the USB ports (located on the left).

== Let's make this machine better ==
* I got the printer working for black and white. I'm doing some experimentation with scaling and orientation and will write up clear instructions soon. The current process of getting your prints jobs to the printer is convoluted. I'll be working on improving that. Once we replace the color cartridges, they may also work. - Mark
* It seems as if the print heads are getting clogged and this machine needs to be used 1-2 times a month. Any way that we can ask the area host to print a job that often as part of maintenance?
* I, Bry, have a hard time getting my prints in the correct orientation. Any way we can add instructions to docs?
* After testing, we should start spreading around a "rumor" that the machine is working again. So, that people start using it.
* If we are still having issues, maybe we should get a different machine.
* The machine has resisted efforts to network it. Let's set up a better host machine.

== Ongoing hardware Problems ==
This machine does not produce high quality prints. Usually a few square feet of ink need to come out before this machine even starts working. When it does the colors never get close to correct.

The Expansion card appears to not work, 3 different expansions cards with ethernet ports have been tried. Sometimes the in system menu has updated with the card information. Packet sniffing has revealed that occassionally the machine makes bootp/dhcp requests, but acts as though it never gets a response. Setting a static ip address has not yet worked either.[[Category:IT Equipment]]
