Cura LulzBot Edition
2.1 Cura LulzBot Edition
Installation and Setup
Cura LulzBot Edition is available for download on our website at
https://LulzBot.com/cura. When installing, it is recommended to
uninstall 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 Add a Printer. This
will consist of selecting your printer and what tool head you are using.
It is important to select the correct printer and tool head combination,
as Cura uses custom proles and machine settings based upon the specic
printer and which tool head is installed.
• Download the appropriate installer for your computer operating
system. Instructions on installation for each operating system are
available at https://LulzBot.com/cura.
• Start Cura by launching it from your list of installed applications. If
this is the rst time that Cura has been used the “Add a Printer”
window will open.
• Select LulzBot TAZ Workhorse from the Printer Section.
• Select HE | 0.5mm from the Tool Head | Nozzle Diameter section.
• Select Add Printer.
2.2 Recommended Print Settings
After setting up your printer for the rst time, you will be taken to the
recommended print settings. This area allows you to quickly select a
LulzBot tested and approved material and prole combination from the
upper right hand corner.
