Hello! This time, I have an old Lulzbot Taz 6 3D printer that was given to my that was having issues. The tool heads looked like they were about to shake loose when the tool head did a wipe, then it would crash when trying to level. The SE tool head and the HS+ 1.2 mm tool head were both jammed up. After a lot of work, I was able to solve the crashing issue and get both tool heads to print.

Along the way, I did some upgrading - a new Wham Bam Bed System featuring the PEX surface on the spring steel bed.

Like many 3D printers, this one has a few interesting options for more upgrading, such as replacing the X and Y axis with linear rail setups. And newer tool heads. If you want me to test those, let me know - and give me a Super Like, to help fund that effort!!
