Lulzbot Taz 3
Was missing power supply.
A new (low voltage) supply was purchased for it. We have a 360 volt but it originally used a 400v.
The power cable and housing is also missing. Bowie has found the part numbers for the connectors.

Common Problems
If you receive the following error message when launching Cura from Terminal, or nothing happens when you launch Cura through the GUI, do this:
Error message: /usr/share/cura-lulzbot/cura-lulzbot: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /usr/share/cura-lulzbot/cura-lulzbot)
Solution: In terminal, run the command "sudo apt remove -y cura-lulzbot && sudo apt install -y cura-lulzbot=3.2.32" (without quotes) .
If you cannot save a profile in Cura, make sure you own all the files/directories in your home folder. We had this issue when someone ran it using sudo.
Solution: sudo chmod -R unallocatedspace:unallocatedspace ~/
