LulzBot TAZ User Manual

Setup Your Printer
13. Your TAZ 3D printer is now setup and ready to start printing. Before
moving forward you should become familiar with the TAZ Cartesian
type system. The printer moves in three axes: X, Y, and Z (Fig. 1.15,
page 24). These three axes allow the tool head to move to any point
within the print area. Note the location of the mechanical end stops
which are small switches located at the home point of each axis (Fig.
1.16, page 25). Each end stop switch allows the printer to find the 0,
the origin, or starting point, of each axis. The mechanical end stops
should never be blocked during the initial homing function or during
a print.
