Kittaz metal vitamins

ok… so I am looking for a source for the metal parts for the TAZ KITTAZ. Is it possible to purchase the parts from the lulzbot store?

We don’t offer just the non-printed vitamins/hardware for the KITTAZ at this time, just the complete KITTAZ. Misumi is great for ordering the cut extrusions, you can find the t-nuts there as well for a decent price. Screws and fasteners can be found through Mcmaster-carr, or any of the other metric bolt online vendors.

So how can I build the Taz kittaz with out the metal pieces?

Are you referring to the mini? If you are, then they are here http://devel.lulzbot.com/mini/camellia/production_parts/solidworks/.
If you don’t want to use solidworks, then there are .pdf’s here http://devel.lulzbot.com/mini/camellia/production_parts/drawings/ .

For the kittaz, Orias is right on. Misumi sells the metal frame pieces here http://us.misumi-ec.com/vona2/detail/110302368740/?Inch=0 , or you can buy a kittaz and they come with all the other stuff and you don’t have to spend a whole bunch of time spec-ing out parts if you don’t want to.

The bill of materials for the kittaz is here http://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/KITTAZ/production_docs/TAZ-BOM-KITTAZ-Guava.ods and it lists suppliers and prices.

Rather than spend a lot of time sourcing parts, and doing a lot of leg work, our KITTAZ has all the parts you’ll need: https://www.lulzbot.com/products/lulzbot-kittaz-3d-printer

The metal part I was referring to is this

Unless I overlooked the Stl file listed under the devel folder.

I currently have all the parts including the extrusions already. Just trying to make sure I have all the files before I started to print.

There should be an option to purchase all the parts if an end user wanted. Why should I drop 1500 on a third 3D printer when I already have the parts?

Oh, that metal part.

Well, there is a .sldprt here: http://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/2.1/production_parts/manufactured_parts/ and a .pdf drawing and a .dxf here: http://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/Guava/production_parts/drawings/ . If you want to print it, there is an .stl here http://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/2.0/test_parts/devel_test_parts/ . You might find this thread useful if you are cloning that y-end https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/y-axis-end-mounting-holes-wrong/515/1 . What I do in my builds is use the old printed y-ends: http://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/2.0/production_parts/printed_parts/stl/y_motor_mount-1.1.d.stl .

Ok, cool.

Individually, you mean. The option to purchase all the parts together is already there.

Because you want to support all of the super awesome support on the lulzbot forum ofc. :wink:

You don’t need the metal part, if you have access to a 3D printer, print that whole end as one piece and use 12mm rods instead of 10mm :slight_smile:. I’ll be working on a file for this soon.
