Do not over tighten the screws. Tighten them just enough to hold without moving around. If you do crack a panel please contact support@lulzbot.com or call 1-970-377-1111 for assistance. The enclosure is made from cast acrylic for optical clarity that helps reduce visual distortions. Do not use household cleaners to clean the Acrylic. Use dish soap or hand wash and do not scrub or use any abrasives. Questions or issues? Please contact support@lulzbot.com or call 1-970-377-1111 for assistance.

The Black ABS pieces do not have a protective covering. There is a textured side and a smooth side. While the front and back covers share similar pieces there are some differences. The sides, top and bottom are deeper for the front than for the back. This is to accommodate the build plate while keeping the enclosure total size at the tightest dimensions. It may be easier to remove the protective coverings as you do each part if you feel more comfortable working that way but it is important that the protective covering be removed before assembly of each part since they interlock into one another preventing you from removing it later. Use either your finger nail or a flat razor to pull up on the edge of the protective covering. Take your time and pull slowly to get any additional stray pieces. Step 2: Install the brackets on the front and rear of the printer. Using a 3mm hex driver to remove the existing screws and install the brackets using the included M5-20mm bolts and a 4mm hex driver. While there is still support for the top of the printer with the screws removed it is recommended to do one bracket at a time. Note that the original nut in the extrusion will fall down once you remove the screw. Don’t worry if this happens, you will need to move the screw back into place. A great way to prevent this is to fold over a zip tie and slide it into the slot to hold the nut in place. The bracket with the cutout on the back is for the rear left corner near the control box to allow for room for the extruder cable. Lulzbot Taz 6 v2 Enclosure 2018 Page 3 of 8 Step 3: Warning!!! Remove the SD card from the printer before continuing. Gently set the printer on its side with the control box flat on the work surface. It is a good idea to lay down a towel or something soft to prevent scratching the side of the printer. Install Part Q on the side using the 4 M4-8mm bolts and M4 square nuts. Slide 2 square nuts in from the bottom of the machine into the extrusion on each side. Tighten down the bolts just enough to prevent slippage. The cut outs on the sides allow for the arm and filament guide to completely fold up or down. Step 4: We have included two different versions of part P. One version has 2 screw holes and is joined with Part S using 2 M3-10 bolts and 2 M3 square nuts. This version is for users who prefer to use a top mounted spool option available on many 3D printing sharing sites like thingiverse.com . The other version is for those who prefer the side spool mounted option. Either option sits onto of the machine and can be lifted off for easy access. Part P option for side mounted spool Part P option for top mounted spool Lulzbot Taz 6 v2 Enclosure 2018 Page 4 of 8 Step 5: Attach the black ABS front bottom (Part O) textured side up to the front panel (Part A with Lulzbot logo engraved). The square nut sits in the slot and the 2 M3-10mm bolt goes through the front panel into the square nut. If you find it difficult to keep the nut in place while you insert the bolt you can use some painters tape to hold the nut in place for assembly. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE BOLTS. Tighten them by hand and slightly more than 1/8th of a turn with a hex driver is enough to hold everything together.

Part B Part E Proper Usage: You can lift the front or back up and off the 3D printed post. The cutout on the bottom helps to clear the arms on the bed of the printer. It is normal for the cover to sit on the table and is part of the design to help reduce the risk of accidental breakage. You will also notice the post holes are slightly enlarged and the front/back covers are slightly larger than the top and side covers. This is intentional to help prevent accidental snags or breakage after repeated use. Questions or issues? Please contact support@lulzbot.com or call 1-970-377-1111 for assistance.
