3D Printer Software

1.1

Software Overview

Aleph Objects, Inc., the maker of the LulzBot TAZ, completely supports
free/libre hardware and software. Along with the TAZ being a free/libre
hardware design, it has been tested to work with 100% free/libre software.
Our source code and design ﬁles are hosted on our development server found
at

http://devel.lulzbot.com

. To operate your desktop 3D printer you

will need to install a few software packages onto your PC. You will need
a 3D printer host, an

.STL

to

.gcode

generator, and optional CAD or 3D

modeling software.

All of the following free/libre software packages are available for

GNU/Linux, Windows, and Apple OS X. However, we highly recommend
using these programs on GNU/Linux.

The required software can be found in the Support/Downloads section

at

LulzBot.com/support/downloads

. You will also ﬁnd instructions there

for installing each program onto your PC. You can also ﬁnd downloads
speciﬁc to the TAZ 3D printer on the TAZ product page.

1.2

Installing Drivers

Linux and Mac OSX users will not need to install a driver to com-
municate with the TAZ 3D printer.

Windows users will need to

install the following drivers.

The drivers can be downloaded from

LulzBot.com/support/downloads

.

A visual guide showing the driver

installation process can be found in our download section as well.

1.3

Printrun

Website:

http://www.github.com/kliment/Printrun

The host software, Printrun, is used to start up and control your 3D

printer (Figure 1.2, page 17).

The host controls include: setting the

extruder and print surface temperatures, manual control of each axis, and
manual extrusion. The host is also where you can push print ﬁles (

.gcode

)

to the 3D printer or load print ﬁles from the SD card for printing out model
designs.
