The TAZ SideKick is faster, simpler and ready to print out-of-the-box with free software. This new printer allows users to select machine colour and build volume along with adding other options now or later like build surface, electronics and any of the LulzBot Universal Mount System Tool Heads.
This highly configurable machine allows customers to build a personal desktop 3D printer comprised of all the features they want and need in their very own 3D printer. This all-new 3D printer is available in two build volume sizes to meet a user’s printing needs.
The 289 model and larger 747 give users the space they need to be productive. Choose from a PEI coated borosilicate glass print surface or the LulzBot OctoGrab™ removable magnetic flex bed for frustration free print removal.
John Olhoft, President of LulzBot, said, ‘We believe that the TAZ SideKick is perfectly positioned for the 3D printing market. Our new machine gives new users a great out-of-the-box experience and more veteran 3D printer users the freedom to configure their machine for purpose-built applications.
The TAZ SideKick 289 delivers a build volume of 162mm x 162mm x 181mm (6 3/8″ x 6 3/8″ x 7 1/8″) – slightly larger than the venerable LulzBot Mini 2.
The TAZ SideKick 747 boasts a 231mm x 231mm x 248mm (9″ x 9″ x 9 1/4″) build volume, approaching the almost cubic foot size of the LulzBot TAZ Workhorse and TAZ Pro line of professional 3D printers. Every TAZ SideKick features a genuine ANTCLABS BL Touch®, which provides trouble free mesh bed levelling.
With high precision belt drive in all axes, the TAZ SideKick can print freely at a variety of layer height resolutions, eliminating Z banding or Z wobble issues that can arise in lead screw equipped machines.
Choose from any of the nine LulzBot Universal Mount System Tool Heads. Tool Heads change easily by hand thanks to a unique design that uses large thumbscrews, a wiring connector and quick Tool Head selection on the graphical LCD controller.
Thoughtful design features, like a folding control box and Y axis travel mounts, make the TAZ SideKick highly portable. It has never been easier to bring a 3D printer along on weekend trips or move it from classroom-to-classroom.
This 3D printer is a self-replicating (or RepRap) machine made up of over 50% 3D printed parts, all printed in the constantly expanding LulzBot printer farm. The LulzBot dedication to open-source continues, meaning users can easily and affordably replace any worn components by downloading the files from the LulzBot GitLab.
