With this tool head, you'll be able to print layers as small as 0.05mm (50 microns) on a LulzBot 3D Printer. In the past with FDM Printing, getting to layer heights of less 0.10 and beyond was tricky, and only successful some of the time. Those times are gone, we've found this tool head is as reliable as ever but gives us the ability to print tiny parts with ease. If you're a jewellery maker, table-top gamer or engineer, this tool head is going to give you the quality you need!
The first thing you'll need to do when you get your new tool head removes your stock tool head off your 3D printer (or whichever you're using). There are a few bolts that come off quickly using the tool-kit provided with your printer and then you'll need to disconnect the wiring harness. Now install your Micro Aero in the reverse order of disassembly! That's all for the hardware.
Now you'll need to plug it into to a computer running a newer version of Cura LulzBot Edition and flash the firmware of your printer so that it recognises the new tool-head. Finally, you'll need to dial in the Z-offset of your printer by using the front-panel controls. Once that's all taken care of you can dive in and print your first Micro Model!
