Hi all, just loving my Taz but giving it a real work out lately. So I had my first breakage, the flip down carrier that you rotate out of the way when changing filament. It cracked in half. So I have managed to repair it with super glue and found the replacement parts on the SD card (great work Lulzbot!!) So it begs the question what if I am not so lucky getting the machine back working enough next time to create a replacement part. So are there any other parts on my Taz that people recommend printing off a spare part whilst everything is back in order? Is there a diagram anywhere on the net that shows each part and its name? Thanks in advance. ---

one large herringbone gear and several small herringbone gears. These are both parts that see a lot of wear during normal use. ---

Heyo, just a heads up. We made a change to that idler block, and may want to print the updated one found here: [https://www.lulzbot.com/sites/default/files/extruder\_idler\_service\_bulletin.pdf](https://www.lulzbot.com/sites/default/files/extruder_idler_service_bulletin.pdf) Aside from that, a spare set of gears is always nice to have on hand. ---

Thanks for that!! I must admit when I printed the new one and saw how tight the shaft was I thought thats not right, no wonder it broke. So I spent a little time with a blade and trimmed it so it wasn’t as hard to fit. But I will print the new one though, thanks for the heads up. What also happened was I think because it wasn’t working properly the grooves in the drive shaft were full of the material I was printing last so i spent some time and cleared all that out. Is there an exploded view drawing available that shows the locations and names of all the parts? ---

bumping an old post… Is the list/recommendation the same for a Taz 5 equipped with a Flexy Dually v2? ---

Yup, pretty much. You might want to up the small gear count.
