LulzBot TAZ 6 - Cura Setup and Overview

Cura LulzBot Edition
2.1 Cura
Setup Cura
Cura LulzBot Edition is available for download on our website at
http://LulzBot.com/cura. When installing, it is recommended to unin-
stall any previous versions of Cura you may have been using. Cura
is designed for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. Fused
Filament Fabrication is the term for the process of laying down successive
layers of extruded lament to create a 3 dimensional object. As each layer
of molten plastic is extruded into place, it fuses with the previous layer.
When rst opening Cura, you will be prompted to go through the First
run wizard. This will consist of selecting your printer, hot end type, tool
head type, and nally your nozzle diameter.
It is important to select the correct printer, hot end, tool head, and
nozzle diameter as Cura uses custom proles and machine settings based
upon which printer, hot end, tool head, and nozzle you have.
• Download the appropriate installer for your computer operating
system. Instructions on installation for each operating system are
available at http://LulzBot.com/cura.
• Install Cura by double clicking on the installer.
