== Status ==
As of 12/20/2015 Someone has put a note saying "no work" on the print bed, no further information known.

As of 12/10/2015 Undergoing testing. Functional. New LCD installed, SD card reader should be working but has not been tested in use. Fiberglass flexible print bed add-on installed. Firmware updated for new Hexagon extruder heads, no longer compatible with Flexistruder, for now. Hexagon heads need to be set higher than old heads (temperatures will need to be higher.) Additional testing required to advise what temperatures are best. --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 16:17, 10 December 2015 (CST)

As of 11/13/2015 the main PLA/ABS extruder is not working, replacement extruders and parts are ordered or awaiting installation by CNC Area Host.

As of 9/28/2015 not clogged, working normally, DO NOT RUN PLA for longer than 1hr --[[User:Rtystgeeke|Rtystgeeke]] ([[User talk:Rtystgeeke|talk]]) 15:26, 28 September 2015 (CDT)

As of 7/20/2015 nozzle clogged with PLA, resistor wire is broken (needs replacement), bottom wood disk is broken (needs replacement) --Andrew Camardella 7/20/2015 5:35pm

As of 6/3/2015 nozzle unclogged, tested with ABS. --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 19:22, 3 June 2015 (CDT)

As of 6/1/2015 clogged with PLA through the length of the hot end and nozzle. Needs to be disassembled, burned out, nozzle cleaned. Probably needs replacement nozzle. Needs replacement parts for the hot end (wood discs, maybe aluminum disk) --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 18:53, 1 June 2015 (CDT)

As of 5/20/2015 not clogged, running normally.

Seems to be extruding fine as of 4/30/2015. [Extruder nozzle clogged. Needs unclogging or nozzle replacement. (As of 4/28/2015, clogged )]

== Authorization ==

Under construction. Ask CNC Area Host. No regularly scheduled authorizations. Authorization sessions can be arranged for 3 or more members as required. If you want to schedule an authorization session, find 2 or more other people and email the CNC Area Host for referral to an authorizer.

== Operation ==
* Turn the printer off when you are no longer using it.

== Troubleshooting ==

Under construction. Please add information to this section if you discover some useful tips and tricks.

*Usually is COM5
*If you can't connect on COM5, you may need to reboot the PC, because another user is still logged in after they connected on COM5.
*Make sure baud rate is set to 115200
*Make sure protocol is set to Autodetect
*In Repetier Host, home the machine to get full motion on the axes

== Mods ==
Factory standard settings, accessories and equipment. Alternate Flexistruder available at PS1 but not installed.

=== Windows Drivers ===
Windows users driving the printer tethered (over a USB cable) 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)

=== Nozzle size ===
* 0.50 mm nozzle --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 16:20, 10 December 2015 (CST)(please verify?)

=== 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://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/2.1/software/2013Q4/slic3r/config/pt35mm-nozzle/medium_ABS_no-support_pt35nzl_pt2-layer-height_config.ini slic3r config file] for the Taz3
* Alternately, you can use [http://wiki.ultimaker.com/Cura Cura by Ultimaker]

== 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.

==== ABS 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.

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

[[File: Taz3_print_settings_SUPPORT.ini]]

This file is for 'print settings' tab of Slic3r. This is a 'fast' profile, geared towards finishing prints relatively quickly. It still provides excellent surface quality. This profile includes support, appropriate for large overhangs.

== Other Resources ==
[http://download.lulzbot.com/TAZ/3.0/documentation/2013Q4/LulzBot_TAZ_3.0-User_Manual-ebook.pdf The manual is available online]. A printed form of it can be found near the printer. The manual explains how to operate the printer.

=== Filament ===

The extruders available accept 3 mm filament, and can print either ABS or PLA. There is an alternate extruder for use with Ninjaflex, called 'Flexistruder' but the Flexistruder is not supported with the current firmware installation.

[http://www.monoprice.com/Search/Index?keyword=3d+printer+filament Monoprice]

=== Find Something to Print ===

[http://thingiverse.com Thingiverse] is a great place to find printable 3D models that other people have designed, and to publish your own.

=== Designing 3D Models ===

Vinyl Cutter

2016-01-11T19:12:20Z

Slingerland: /* Certified Users */

== Status ==
(needs updating)

== Authorization ==

Viral. Any authorized user can train and authorize another. Record authorizations on this wiki page, below. At the moment there are no regularly scheduled authorization sessions. Contact/ask an authorized user or the area host.

== Tips on how to use (After Certified) ==

The user guide is here
[https://www.proworldinc.com/skin/frontend/cls/proworld/pdf/jagII.pdf]

Loading the Media.

* Raise the lever on the upper back right of the machine
* Slide in the media. It helps to have a rectangular piece so the machine can recognize the size. Center it over some of the grooved rollers so they are as close to the edges as possible.
* Slide the pinch rollers from behind over the grooved roller you chose.
* Lower roller with the lever.
* Read the display and push the arrow button for the type of media you are loading. For a single sheet (not a roll), for example you would press the right arrow (see screen shot below)

== Importing ==

The Software used is CoCut Standard 2015. We not longer use the software that came with the cutter.

The software does not import svgs, but does import Adobe Illustrator files. Open your SVG in Illustrator and resave it as an .ai file. Then import your file into CoCut Pro.

Notes:

* Make sure to check any files you download from the internet for hidden artifacts
* Make sure all your borders/strokes are set to 0px or you will get 3 cuts for the border (inner stroke, outer stroke and object edge)

== Cutting ==

When your graphic is ready to cut, click the File...Cut/Plot menus. This should bring up a couple of new windows. One is the Production Manager. This may show some older, incomplete jobs from failed attempts. Delete those old jobs.

The other window shows your setup. Note the orientation of your job. You may want to rotate it to fit the orientation of your vinyl in the plotter. Use the turned stick man button at the bottom to do this.

Make sure you set the size of your vinyl.

Note:

The output settings for speed and pressure do not work on our machine you must change these settings on the machine itself.

* Take the cutter offline (hit on/off line button)
* Hit the speed or pressure button
* Use arrow keys to change value
* Hit enter
* Put the cutter online by hitting the on/off line button a second time

=== Blades ===

There are 3 types of blade for the cutter:

* Black Cap - Fine detail cutting - http://www.signtechnologies.net/catalogue/341/8/cutters-and-plotters/P-gcc-jaguar-ii-cutting-plotter
* Green Cap - Sandblasted/reflective materials - http://www.signtechnologies.net/catalogue/84/8/cutters-and-plotters/blades/P-gcc-blade-green-cap-for-sandblastreflective-material
* Red Cap - Standard Vinyl - http://www.signtechnologies.net/catalogue/83/8/cutters-and-plotters/blades/P-gcc-blade-red-cap-for-standard-vinyl

These blades will be arriving shortly.

== Purchasing Materials ==

New Materials can be purchased locally through [http://www.raycosignsupply.com/vinyl-material Rayco] near Peterson and Pulaski, the plotter size is 24 inches. Generally you are on your own for materials; if you use the materials that are near the cutter, it is fair game, and it would be cool if you put some money in the nearby gray donation box or ask the area host how to contribute. Area hosts use donations to buy more materials and parts for machines. Suggested donation $1/square foot?
* Economy/Intermediary stock is for the majority of projects and has an expected life of 3 years
* High performance stock is intended for cars and boats and has an expected life of 7 years.

* Transfer tape: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-APPLICATION-TRANSFER-Paper-TAPE-300-ft-roll-for-Vinyl-Cutter-PLOTTER-FRESH-/351496781486?hash=item51d6d73eae
