Vinyl tubing can be used as a coupler with some zip ties. Some 3D printers made professionally use that method.by cabbage_breath - Reprappers

Hello reprappers, I recently printed my first print with my homemade Lulzbot Taz 1.0. I also made the Budaschnozzle 2.0 on the machine myself. You can see a full build log here, though much of it is in the 2013 section of that log. The reason I built a 1.0 Taz is because I ordered my printed parts last August when the only iteration on the download.lulzbot.com server was the 1.0. I can simplyby cabbage_breath - Look what I made!
You can buy PTFE from McMaster-Carr. If you have a lathe you could make a Budaschnozzle 2.0. I am in the process of making one myself. You will need to simplify the design on the mount plate if you don't have a CNC because of the arch. You will need a dividing head and a vertical mill to make some of the other parts. The great thing about making a Budaschnozzle is that you can machine most ofby cabbage_breath - Reprappers
Yes think I will experiment with that down the line. Since the resistance of my bed is 1 ohm, however, I think it will be necessary to get a variac or wire my own transformer so that I can step mains down to a maximum of say 20Vrms. Or I could rewire my bed to give a maximum of 16 ohms. This will mean mains will provide ~900W of power which is larger by about a factor of 2 than what I want to useby cabbage_breath - Reprappers
I put some finishing touches on and tested out my heated bed in the printer and found that it would get to 60C in under ten minutes and it would get to a maximum of 108C in over 20 minutes. I think this might be enough for ABS but I will have to see. I read that ~80-110 is the range for ABS. I'm on a 12V line coming out of a RAMBo. If I wanted faster heating times then I could use a step down trby cabbage_breath - Reprappers

Hi everyone. I recently finished my own version of a 300mm x 300mm print bed for a LulzBot Taz. Here is a video if anyone needs help making one: http://youtu.be/QDAfVrwDVp4 Or the thingiverse page: http://www.thingiverse.com/make:54040by cabbage_breath - Reprappers
