Maybe I am old fashioned but doesn’t posting these files make it easy for the Chinese or folks in India to start making cheap copies to sell, putting yet another good US company under the knife so to speak?

No.

Hi,
these files are available at download.lulzbot.com and devel.lulzbot.com. But they are in pdf, stl and solidworks formats. They were uploaded by the LulzBot team. So making a clone is not a problem. Even without these files cloning wouldn’t be a problem I guess.

Not every (most?) hobbyist can afford buying such an expensive program as solidworks. So if you want to mod your printer it is easier to use an open source program to do so. That’s why I have ported these files to FreeCAD. To give something back to the great community.

Cheers,
Mateusz

P.S. The TAZ design is open source as well.

Nevermind, someone taught me how to import and convert an STL to a shape. Very cool!

Matt

Can you please add the rest or at least extruder_mount_hex.stl? These are perfect for the conversion I am working on.

Thanks!!!

Matt

Hi,
here is previous (?) version in FreeCAD:
Extruder_Mount v1.2.FCStd

With a little work it could be converted to extruder_mount_hex.

Cheers,
Mateusz
