I recently bought a TAZ Pro/Workhorse Magnetic Flex Bed.
Is the STL print file available for the Plastic Lift Tabs for the Flexible Metal plate?
I need to print a new one.
I can’t find the part anywhere on their sites, but did put this together based on the bed models used in Cura.

If it needs a little tweaking, let me know.
I have the actual STL, but I had to request it from support. It’s technically in GitLab, but the repo is not public.
Look, I am going to be honest here - how do you people learn how to do this stuff? I’ve tried tutorials, bought Fusion, but I just get nowhere. Is there a faster way to learn to do this stuff?
I use Onshape. Started with the Teaching Tech beginner series with it and just kept going. It helps when it’s a part of your job that getting better at makes your job easier.
It’s more just about going through the motions a bunch, and getting proficient. If anything on a computer seems repetitive or tedious, there’s probably a tool you’re not using.
I will give it a shot. Thanks.
Has anyone seen the stl file for the tool that Lulzbot provides to hold the T-Nut in place while you work on something. Here is the picture of the tool which clips in place and keeps the T-nut from falling on a vertical extrusion.
It can be found in the Gitlab collection:
Got the tool, thank you!
Just printed it out. A good tool to have for my maintenance work.
What material do they use to print those tabs? It feels rubbery. So is it some high temp materials?
Edit: Clarification:
The lift tabs: Ninjaflex is Lulzbot TPU of choice, IIRC.
The T-Nut holding jigs are PETG, but anything would work.
Ok, thank you. I will have to get a spool of it to have on hand.
I believe that part is meant to be PETG in Lulzbot green if I am understanding their shorthand in the part name. But you are free of course to print it in anything you like.
The tabs on my metal plate don’t have a PETG feel to me. They are flexible, rubber like.
The t-nut tool I printed in PETG and they are a good fit.
Lift tabs (what I was replying to) are TPU/flexible.
The T-nut jigs could be printed in virtually anything and function.
Yeah you’re right, I read “tabs” and thought it was referring to the tnut things.
