	Murphy is a franken-taz that has been upgraded piece by piece from a stock taz-3. It currently has the Taz 5 hexagon v2 hotend with .5mm nozzle attached. Murphy can handle a variety of materials, but is configured by default for PLA. Murphy requires 3mm filament. Murphy can print from SD card or the Ubuntu workstation to the left.

	~~Watch~~ first ~~layer~~.		It's recommended to stay close for the first few layers. Most prints fail because of adhesion or lamination issues. Remember, when using lvl1's filament you must pay for failed prints, so stopping a failed print as early as possible saves you money.
