I got really excited when I heard you could 3-D print a large portion of the parts of the Taz 6 printer. After seeing OHAI, ([https://ohai.lulzbot.com/group/taz-6/](https://ohai.lulzbot.com/group/taz-6/)) though, I got a little discouraged. Although it had incredibly detailed instructions, I was unable to find where you could actually purchase the non-printed parts. Am I missing something, or is OHAI just for reference as to how they build it? If you’ve found anything more, please share. ---

Good luck with the build. I built my own Taz 6 i got the enclosure for the electronics and lead screws from itworks, had the bed platform, frame corners, Y ends and the sides and back of the enclousre laser cut. Everything else i sourced from ebay, RS components, mouser and the Lulzbot store. All 3d printed parts i had done via 3d hubs. Wiring was a fun part of the build. I have myself an extra 10-15mm of length on the wires from the diagrams. The support team are incredibly helpful with any questions you may come up with. ![IMG-20161103-WA0001.jpeg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/lulzbot/original/2X/c/c299b23638d70c5901e17a083d78917b4507080f.jpeg)
