LulzBot TAZ Workhorse - Mesh Fixes Settings Tab

2.18. MESH FIXES SETTINGS TAB
• Circular prime tower will generate a round prime tower, which
helps adhesion compared to the square prime tower. When using the
prime tower, it is recommended to activate this setting.
• Prime tower size will dene how large the prime tower is, and thus
aect how much lament is extruded each time. 15 mm is a good
starting point to ensure priming and adhesion.
• Prime tower position will allow you to dene where the prime
tower is located in the X/Y plane. Be sure to check this location,
if it interferes with your object it will prevent slicing.
• Prime tower flow will increase or decrease the extrusion multiplier
while printing the priming tower. For some laments an increased
ow rate will be required for good adhesion.
• Wipe inactive nozzle on prime tower will generate an extra
travel move that wipes the inactive nozzle on the prime tower after
switching. With the independent dual nozzles on the TAZ Pro, it is
not recommended to use this option.
Ooze Shield
When the ooze shield is activated, it will generate a single wall (think
“shield”) around the outside of your object. This is printed with each nozzle
being used in dual extrusion, and is designed to prevent any “dripping”
lament from the nozzles before falling on your object. Once activated,
you can specify the angle at which the shield is generated, as well as the
distance it is created from your object.

The mesh xes settings tab contains settings for Cura to attempt to x
design les. It is important to note that Cura is not a CAD program,
and using these settings may have unintended consequences on your model
design. The best practice will always be to print an STL le that is a single
shell and has no manifold errors. Having multiple STL les in this format
will not be an issue either.
