GLOSSARY
HIPS High-impact polystyrene. Usually extrudes at 230°C with the E3D
all metal hot end.
Hot end The hot end is the assembled part where the plastic melts, including
the nozzle, heater block, thermistor, and heat sink. Genuine E3D hot ends
are installed on the stock TAZ Workhorse.
Inll Inll represents how solid the inside of your object will be. 0% will
print the object completely hollow, while 100% will allow for a completely
solid object.
Layer height The thickness of each individual deposited layer of the three-
dimensional model when cut with a slicing program.
Laywoo-D3 Wooden lament similar to PLA. Forty percent of its content
consists of recycled wood. Usually prints at 180°C to 210°C. Color can
be changed by varying the extrusion temperature.
Libre Innovation Aleph Objects uses Free/Libre Software to build and
improve Open Source Hardware so that everything we create is free to
be viewed, copied, and/or modied by anyone.
Nozzle The metal tip at the bottom of the hot end. It has a small hole
where the plastic lament comes out of the printer.
Open Source Hardware Open source hardware is hardware whose design
is made publicly available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute,
make, and sell the design or hardware based on that design. The
hardware source, the design from which it is made, is available in the
preferred format for making modications to it. For more information

PLA Polylactic acid is a corn-based biodegradable polymer. Usually
extrudes at 205°C with the E3D All Metal Hot End.
Polycarbonate A strong and impact-resistant thermoplastic. Usually ex-
trudes at 300°C.
PVA Polyvinyl acetate is the main ingrediant in white glue, wood glue and
the common school glue stick.
Resolution In general terms, the resolution you print at can be determined
by the layer height you use. The LulzBot TAZ can print at a layer heights
of 0.05 mm to 0.50 mm with the standard tool head.
