Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max[1]LulzBot TAZ Pro (LulzBot's own store lists it under Legacy LulzBot printers)[2]
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$749 advertised base sale/from price; $899 compare-at, not launch MSRP. Global USD storefront, Other plug/no resin selected; US price, availability, shipping and tax require checkout. Checked 2026-10-17.[1]$4,950.00 on buy.lulzbot.com, in stock, checked Aug 2026[2]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Not documentedSeveral TAZ Pro derivatives exist and their specs differ substantially: TAZ Pro S, TAZ Pro XT+, and TAZ Pro Long Bed (282 x 582 x 285 mm, 1.2 mm GammaMaster steel nozzle, 80 °C bed cap, 150 mm/s travel, BLTouch 32-point mesh). The base TAZ Pro is 285 mm cubed with a 0.5 mm hardened-steel nozzle, a 110 °C bed and 300 mm/s travel — do not mix the two spec sets[2][3]

Speed & Acceleration
Max travel speedNot documented300 mm/s maximum travel speed (manufacturer figure)[2]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameNot documentedPro Dual Extruder tool head — two active-lifting hot ends for true dual-material printing[2]
Filament diameterNot documented2.85 mm standard, 1.75 mm optional[2]
Hotend & Nozzle
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Not documented290 °C maximum hot end temperature[2]

Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedLaser-engraved aluminium build plate[1]Dual-sided borosilicate glass with PEI film[2]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Four-point manual leveling[1]Automatic 4-point mesh levelling using a 5 V contact circuit, plus automatic X-axis tramming, Z-offset and backlash compensation[2]
Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence)Not documented4-point mesh[2]
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Not documentedFilament sensor with both runout and stripping detection[2]

PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)180 W power supply (manufacturer specification; not measured consumption)[1]500 W 24 V Mean Well, auto-switching, 100-240 VAC input[2]
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedMarlin[2]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.3-inch touchscreen[1]5-inch full-colour resistive touchscreen[2]
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveUSB and Wi-Fi; store still labels LAN as scheduled, so availability is unverified.[1]USB serial; a 16 GB flash drive is included for standalone printing[2]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listNot documentedPLA, TPU, ABS, PETG, PVA, PVB, nylon, PC and other materials below 290 °C[2]

Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
