Lulzbot TAZ Anti-Banding Modification

This is a take on the classic fork solution to Z-banding exhibited by Lulzbot TAZ 3D printers, providing a marked improvement in print quality. A PDF containing detailed assembly instructions for this device is available to download, featuring a SolidWorks assembly designed by Jonathan Brazeau. For those who are unfamiliar, Z-banding refers to the waves that develop in 3D printed parts fabricated on machines with imperfectly-straight lead screws. The standard printer assembly often results in the extruder being pulled around by cyclical forces from the minutely-bowed lead screws, causing a pattern of misaligned layers at best mars a part's appearance and, at worst, ruins its functionality. This device, designed to be 3D-printable itself, effectively eliminates Z-banding by separating the extruder from the Z nuts with a layer of 6 mm ball bearings, thereby isolating the extruder from the inevitable movement of the Z nuts.
