  1. having just spent a lot of time looking into this…
    Lulzbot Taz Tool Head Wire Harness Connector Part Numbers
  • male pin: digikey part num 0016020108
  • female pin: digikey part num 0016020097
  • housing: molex part number 22552161

  1. I am not an expert but TAZ systems are generally 24V so that should be correct. Anything you use must have an adapter to 24V or be 24V compatible. Not sure if you have to make modifications to the thermistor to adapt that

  2. again, not an expert, but it should not be heating that much. I would be cautious, although it could just be that there is an issue with connecting it directly to 24V and it is misreading. There is a guide somewhere for TAZ and thermistors and if I find it again I’ll share it here

fyi 19ohms is correct for a 24v 30w heater cartridge

  • 12v/30w: 5-6 ohms

  • 24v/30w: 19-24 ohms

  • 12v/40w: 3-4 ohms

  • 24v/40w: 9-12 ohms

  1. I think that should be available somewhere on TAZ’s website, I’ll take a peek later as I need to find it myself

  2. You will need to pull it out somehow, I’m not aware of anything that will dissolve PETG safely. You may need to disassemble the whole extruder.

While I am new to posting here, I’ve been reading quite a lot on here the last month. Be sure to search the forums for any questions you have as I have found there to be quite a few answers here already.

Hope this helps!
