Consumables
If using any consumables, link here to recommended providers or current pledges to purchase.
Filament options (3.0mm)
- ABS (lego brick plastic - prints at 190-230 DegC, requires heated bed at 100-110 DegC)
- PLA (biodegradable , based on food starch - prints at 185-190 DegC, optional heated bed, not hotter than 60 DegC)
- There are other 'specialist' filament, like wood effect, stone effect, nylon (can be coloured by clothes dye), etc

LulzBot_TAZ-User_Manual local copy File:LulzBot TAZ-User Manual-ebook.pdf
There are a number of files provided by Lulzbot with predefined settings. setting 1 is for 0.3mm layers with a 60% infill. setting 2 is for 0.4mm layers and 80% infill.
I would stick with the config in the training section until we complete calibration.
- Cost of 3D printing See what you design would cost if you printed it professionally
- GCODE cost analyser Use 3mm ABS as the standard filament setting, load your file and see the cost
