and print speeds. This will make the organic curves slightly more
step-like than the ne setting, but it will reduce printing time.
High Speed
Designed for the fast prints, where overall model nish is not of
concern. Most commonly used for quick iteration of designs found
in rapid prototyping.
Material Selection
We have the dierent laments separated by ease of use. From the ease
of use drop down, select "all" to have access to all our pre-loaded lament
proles. The TAZ ships with a 1 meter sample of ABS, that should be used
in your rst print.
Printing Support Material
The LulzBot
®
TAZ 3D printer is able to print models that have angles
and overhangs, even without support material. This will depend on the
overhang distance and angle of your particular model le. Turn this option
on if your model could benet from support material.
Brim
Brim is used to increase surface area of the part you’re printing, thereby
ensuring proper part adhesion. This will print a single layer high edge
around the base of the part, helping rst layer adhesion and minimizing
warping.
Load Model File
Select the STL model you would like to print. Either use the Load Model
button or select File > Load Model. Once the le has been loaded, you
will see a 3D rendering of your object on the build platform. Select the
model to see the various options.
