Fixing the Lulzbot TAZ 6 Spool Holder
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- I love the @Lulzbot3D TAZ6. It's built well and prints well too! My ONE GRIPE is the spool holder - I think a new design would be better, so let's try it out!

RIP Sean... Who would have expected zipties to be deadly.
They're especially great for skinning the crap out of your knuckles when you're wrestling with cable management and the guy who installed the servers used zip ties instead of Velcro straps.
The clipped ends or zip ties are like little plastic daggers. 🙄
4:14 What a coincidence, it's also an inch here in Europe
I suspect that it is also an inch in Antarctica . 🤪
There are no inches in Europe, it's just 25.4mm 🙃
(Or at least so we wish...)
@@dside_ru there are no more inches in Europe after Brexit. Brits were the imperialest of the metric nations.
Omg Sean that zip tie bit caught me totally off guard and I lost it.
Put me down as a vote for sean is the new Kenny and gets “killed” in some new weird way every episode! :)
This could legit be this channel's signature way of relaying safety concerns 🤔
That stray zip tie. Too good.
My school lab has been using this spool holder for years, good mod
Nice upgrade and entertaining video. After a couple of years of printing, I find myself forsaking the attached spool holders and using standalone spool holders a majority of the time. They can be placed wherever it is convenient. Some machines like the CR-10's spool holder and this one for the TAZ6 that you printed would stay. I've never attached the stock spool holder on others like the Ender 3. I do like and use spool hubs to center the spool to give the spool a smoother roll off of the filament to the extruder.
This was awesome. It’s nice to see a mix of videos on this channel. I love the deep dives, but this is really nice to see too. Sometimes I forget to just mess around and do random fun projects and be silly.
Yeah. on the ender 3 the first thing I did was get the spool off the top to stop it swaying around during printing. As you say solutions for individuals. nice print.
This reminded me of the earlier 3D Printing Nerd. Just Joel, doing and talking about what he loves. I miss the old days. I'm happy the channel took off and became so popular. But you lose something. . . the small room feel. Knowing everyone around. I'm not mad. I just miss 300 baud and every person who could afford a 2nd (or seven!) phone line running a text only BBS or DDial chat. When everyone was in your area code because long distance was SO expensive. It's bigger now, it's more fun but also more dangerous. We had softball games, cookouts, camping trips, nerds outdoors.
Happy Father Day Joel. Thanks for the video. High five.
LOL, hahaha, best Sean moment ever.
Great video and incredible useful mod. I had a mini2 and love it. Then I bought a Taz workhorse. After three weeks of tweaking and zero useful prints, non working hot end fan,and of course terrible filament delivery I sent it back and bought an ultimaker. Maybe I got a lemon, but I wasn’t gonna waste more time.
Please bring back the voice of Shawn. Editing is still Shawn but not enough. We need voice over. Shawn Voice Matters SVM
@3d printing nerd, Joel couldn't you have printed that part which was cut from pvc??? Is this an excuse to show off your tools for Father's Day?! Great video!
The cut part is probably cheaper and more reliable as well 🙂
@@dside_ru cheaper probably not, but probably more reliable. Tall structures like that suck to print.
My man was flexing all his power tools then pulls out the table saw on us I’m hurt LOL
Is that not a mitre saw? I believe a table saw is the stationary one in a table. Just wanted to make sure there are no misconceptions.🙂
Edward Heath yup you’re correct
Wow mix up a mitre saw and a table saw? You must be desperate for comments
Didn't Lulzbot effectively go under? 🥺
Amusement Labs no
Quick tip with cutting zip ties. Use flush cutters to trim them so that you don’t leave a sharp burr behind for you to cut yourself on
Joel I just acquired one of these Taz 6 3D printer, it had some issues which some soldering and fixing has resolved. At 6 years old, I really haven't seen the company offer any 32-bit or BL Touch style upgrades. Have you tweaked yours at all? It prints OK, but sure is a bit dated compared to newer machines. I do like that print head support and quick change via their fork of Cura. But with SKR, Duet and other boards out there, this seems like a fun machine to modernize.
great vid Joel
Black Zip ties Joel!
LOL! Nice shot.
This was literally the second thing I printed when I bought my TAZ.
Great video! High five to you sir.
I recently put that exact spool holder on my taz 6 so that I could build an enclosure3 for it.
Thunder, thunder!, THUNDER!!, HOOOOO!!!
Only 2 comments I have:
1. You are not the first, but I keeping hearing about US 3D printing people having issues measuring in MM and needing a metric tape measure. I've never seen a tape measure sold in the US that didn't have MM on it. What am I missing with everyone seemingly buying another tape measure just for metric?
2. I had to pause the video because I was laughing too hard from Sean getting taken out by the zip tie end. It was too perfect.
General: the small fixes are sometimes the most satisfying.
Just getting around to this. I did that like two years ago.
When I had a lulzbot I printed something similar. Added a bltouch and would have loved to keep it but I just got tired of it constantly breaking from poor design. It was too expensive to repair and the quality of the prints just weren't worth maintaining it.
Hmmmm.... is Sean going to be the new Kenny? /fingers crossed
Great video. You folks sure had fun editing this one together!
Zip missiles
Cool Video, Joel. Why did you say “It is all downhill from here” and “I remember those day fodly, but they are over now? I know that company Adelph Objects, the company that made Lulzbot printers, got bought out by FAME. But is there other bad things going on with FAME, the Lulzbot printers, and/or how they are doing business? Should I consider buying one if I am buying another printer, should I wait some time to see what happens with the company or forget about those 3D printers totally?
Happy Fathers Day and and and Summer. Nice fix.
Hi Joel, Any chance you can review the TRONXY X5SA 3D Printer Kit? I am about to see about buying my 1st ever 3D printer. And this one seemed to stand out among the many 3Dprinters and Amazon UK. it sells now at £3.49.00p with a limited time £18.00p off Voucher at pay part! You know your printers so any thoughts and maybe a review be great? Maybe at the least do you know this company TRONXY are they good bad .. what? Thanks for the amazing help and reviewing you do for us newbies... :)
That zip tie shot to the face made milk come out my nose lol
It looks like a PC case with the cover removed, I wonder if a printer could be fashioned from an old PC case?
I'm not going to lie sometimes when I have an idea for a design and I search for it and someone else has beat me to it I get sad 😥
Perico 3D I don’t get sad, I’m relieved because it saves me time designing it.
@@logmegadeth72 lol true but sometimes I want to feel like a designer and be proud of my creations especially after you see the whole thing in your head 😎
@@pericodesign1679 trust me its feels worse to spend all that time in CAD and then see that its already been done. I get the joy of building things that don't exist!
The editor had way too much fun on this one. Awesome! :)
Question: Wouldn't it be better to have more exact fits to these spool holders I wonder? So it requires less force to pull on it for the spool to rotate?
I sure did! 😂😂
Those 5kg spools always kill me - LOL.
Thanks Joel!
"Throw it at me" .... or Sean 😂🤣
poor Sean and they shoot a great distance Rofl
Had to lol at the joelcat playing with the light cord.
that ziptie shooting was awesome...
you cut use a pipe cutter for cutting pvc ;-)
Sean clip was great! :)
Well done. Woof.
Were you wearing your safety glasses when you cut the zip ties!
Any word out of FAME since they've taken over? Signs of life & advancement?
7:10
That was some tension :D
I'm sure someones already thought of moving the control box to the front beside the y axis.. thats what 5" more.. it has a removable plate dont it ..
my school's material sciences department had 4 of those as well as older 5s, and some we made spool holders for that sat on top.
Wish we had thought to use PVC pipe and not try getting good working 3d printed tubes
Man, last time I took PVC to the miter saw it shattered. I don't remember the details but I was horrified...
Glad your lulzbot works... A coworker got a Mini shortly before October, and the thing took an extraordinary amount of work to get acceptable looking prints, despite multiple people with lots of 3d printing experience working together on it. (Like, a poorly assembled ender 3 would have printed better for a lot less time and money) Wasn't a great impression, though the little nozzle booger cleaner strip seemed like a nice idea...
Speaking of the Taz 6 and spool holders, built this enclosure for using ABS, my friend Sean Martin designed the corner pieces, available on Thingverse . Guess I'll have to find a way to show you pics
Isn't the build very wobbly now when the printer is moving fast and making abrupt turns? I had a spool holder on the top of my ender and it was like a water-tower, wobbling like crazy.
Hooray!
Dear 3D printing nerd I have a question related to 3D printing I have a anet a8 and it’s been working fine up till recently my hot end keeps failing when heating would you know what may be causing this
pipe is measured i.d not o.d tubing is measured o.d a 1inch pipe pvc is 1.315 o.d so more like you had a peice of 3/4inch pvc which is 1.050 outside
Joel, im having an issue with my lulzbot taz workhorse. i really need help. customer service hasnt been any help, and im lost as to what to do
Thundercats Hoooo.
Do you ever think that maybe manufacturers design something in a less than ideal way just so the user can print out an upgrade?
I made some small clips that fit on my glasses to make my mask fit better. Now I get a better deal and less condensation on my glasses
7:49 fhuefhuefhuehh
Just wish some of these machines were more affordable, alas I do have my ender 3's
I have an Ender3 and I make all sorts of cool shit!
Ender 3 is a fantastic machine!
1:45 Sounds like a problem of affluence.
Wow cool, and humble video Joel, love it. Yeah, those little improvements make 3D Printing even more fun! High Five
Great solution to the spool holder problem!
High 5 Joel. 🖐️
This was the first thing I printed two years ago, Bad original Design.
I have a couple Taz 6s, one w/Aerostruder, and one with the fairly horrible and over-priced Lulzbot V3 dual extruder. I will be making these spool holders for both machines. Why a teflon tube is used on the Taz is beyond me. The tube servers no practical purpose, being unattached at the extruder. One thing I've noticed is that most (but not all) PLA filament gets very brittle very fast (over night) if left in the teflon tube. It's so brittle it breaks just from the slight stress of bending inside the tube, and it's a big pain to remove short broken pieces from the tube when that happens.
Chuck Hole a 40mm deep fan makes the dual extruder v3 work far better. Mine stock would jam immediately after a few layers. You need longer bolts also for mounting it.
Joel, I got a quick question for you. Can you print tpu or ninjaflex on your ender 3 pro without any store bought modification on your printer? I got 10 spools of tpu and ninjaflex from a friend who also has a ender 3 pro but couldn't get the machine to print it. Would love to prove him wrong and maybe print my own mods if needed.
Still love your vids! Big fan from Norway.
Try to print really slow. Like 10mm/s and no retractions. I have a home built bowden setup and can get away with a little but slow retractions as well. The important bit is to go slow. Much slower than you think at first...
7:13 all I needed to see
Joel, nothing was/is ready for 2020
Don't you have black zip ties?
You used a SAW to cut PVC? The electrician in me is sad. Run a sharp knife a couple of times around where you want to cut the tube and snap it in two over your knee. It'll be a clean break. No need to fire up the saw.
Is that a giant plasma globe behind you?
Incidentally, for the rare Lulzbot Workhorse users out there - this design works for that too.
Sweet!
Are you sure about thingiverse?
Wait, did Joel just leak a new, as yet unannounced printer from Raise...the E2 Plus?!
Now I wish I’d waited a month!
😉
Damn that's a giant ptfe tube
Hi5!!! Any live? Still #prusaLOVE ?
I literally just did this to my TAZ 4/5 last week. I also printed out the clips created by Hotnozzl, in the Thingiverse page comments, that secures the spool holder to the frame.
Zip ties...you should be calling "FORE..."
1.59cm is closer to 6 1/4" than the .584cm. (At least by my tape measure.)
Yep I feel the same way about the early cr-10 style printers. tooooooo wiiiiiide with that control box .
Who's actually buying lulzbot printers anyway? The price is just insane.
I guess 3/4" PVC works as well :P
Hahaha true :)
Top load doesnt work with my Lulzbot Cat Guard enclosure.
It's great that the pipe has pipe printed on the pipe, so you know it is a pipe. Pipe!
I'm second hi joel
Btw happy father's day. I know I am not your son (although I sure would love to be) but I know you happen to be a father.
Do you ever use resin printers or is it just fdm?
Much more resin coming soon!
😃👍🏻👊🏻
Happy father's day Joel!
How does the Taz hold up with new printers, It's still expensive, is it worth the money ?
I guess not, as the only part he's kept stock is the frame
DJ legion I get all mine used from ebay. Its very good still, easy to source parts and reliable. Pretty much a set it and forget it printer until its done. I don’t think I have ever had a failed print on my taz6 that could be blamed on the machine. I use the mini’s most the time though and the results are the same. Got 5 minis and 3 taz’s
Bob Sharpie thats false. Everything is still stock except hotend. I dont think changing spool location makes a difference in quality of machine. The hotend changed because he wanted 1.75 and advances in tech since it came out makes the aerostruder print both flexible and regular without having to swap hotends.
The taz 6 is excellent, but its not a 32 bit system. I love how modular it is with the optional tool heads it has.

I love the Lulzbot Mini and it is a workhorse as well. Seeing the extruder mod makes me want to do the same (after I finish using all the spools I have) but what about making the Lulzbots quieter??? They are great, but very loud machines. What would you do to minimize the sound of this machine?
rivera82falcon a dampener on the y axis motor will greatly lower the noise. The mini2 is also pretty quiet with the silent stepper controls
@@StuffWithKirby I have the last release of the mini 1.04 which comes with dampers on all the motors but it's still very loud to me. I have an Artillery Sidewinder X1 which doesn't and is incredibly quiet. I'm assuming the stepper motors are reason for this? Something I'll have to learn about and "fix" for my needs.
rivera82falcon lulzbot sells stepper motor isolators for the y axis on the mini. Quiets it down very nicely.
I’ve added the isolator to my y and x on my taz 6 as well.
@@jim2386 I'll check their site later today for that. I want to keep using this printer for the small detailed items but I need the noise to drop. Thank you for the heads up.
Can you not make it yourself?
A wide miss Joel, and I have a Taz. Whew, Please don't make a video just to make a video!! Well chalk this one up to cabin fever!!
Are you stretching for content Joel?
1) The tube for holding the spool was already seen.
2) This was too long to explain that you moved the spool to a new location using someone else's design.
