| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | LulzBot TAZ Pro Long Bed 3D Printer[1] | Voron Trident, current revision R2. Sold as "Voron Trident R2 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[2] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $7,995.00 at MatterHackers, listed as currently unavailable, checked Aug 2026[1] | $1,274.99 for the LDO kit at Fabreeko, on pre-order with a mid-to-late September ship estimate, checked Aug 2026. Fabreeko's live product feed shows the Trident kit at $1,199.99 and unavailable, so the figure depends on which variant is selected[2][3] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Not simply a longer TAZ Pro. The Long Bed ships the Asteroid 285 tool head with a 1.2 mm nozzle, a 0.3-0.9 mm equipped layer range, an 80 °C bed cap (vs 110 °C), 150 mm/s travel (vs 300) and BLTouch 32-point mesh levelling (vs 4-point contact). Bed material also differs: blue spring-steel magnetic flex rather than glass with PEI film[1][4] | Two size variants on the LDO kit: Rev D 250 mm and Rev D+ 300 mm. Distinguished from the Voron 2.4 by the Z system: Trident has a fixed gantry with three Z motors lifting the bed, while the 2.4 lifts the gantry on four belted Z motors. Colour options black, space grey, blue[2][5] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 282 x 582 x 285 mm[1] | 250 x 250 x 250 mm or 300 x 300 x 300 mm depending on variant. Sortable value is the 300 mm kit[2] |
| Frame construction & material | Open frame; GT2 belt drive with Igus SST rods and polymer bushings[1] | Aluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame, self-assembly[2] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Open frame, no enclosure[1] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Cartesian bedslinger[1] | CoreXY with a fixed gantry; three independent Z stepper motors raise the bed and perform bed levelling[2] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Not documented | Three independent Z stepper motors under the bed[2] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | Trinamic TMC2130[1] | LDO Leviathan board: 5 x TMC2209 plus 2 x TMC5160 HV-capable drivers[2] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| Max travel speed | 150 mm/s maximum travel speed, firmware-limited[1] | Not documented |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Asteroid 285 tool head[1] | Bondtech Integrated Drive Gear Assembly (IGDA) with a Clockwork 2 motor[2] |
| Filament diameter | 2.85 mm standard, 1.75 mm optional[1] | Not documented |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Not documented | E3D Revo High Flow with a 60 W heater[2] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | 290 °C maximum, firmware-limited[1] | Not documented |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | Not documented | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater in the LDO kit)[2] |
| Stock nozzle size & sizes included in box | 1.2 mm GammaMaster steel[1] | Not documented |
| Stock nozzle material (brass / hardened steel / plated copper / composite tip) | GammaMaster steel[1] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 80 °C maximum bed temperature — notably lower than the base TAZ Pro[1] | Not documented |
| Bed heater type (DC/AC mains) & wattage | 360 W, 24 V silicone bed heater[1] | Not documented |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Blue spring-steel magnetic flex bed system[1] | LDO bed heater with a pre-installed magnet sheet and edge-to-edge heating[2] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | BLTouch, 32-point automatic mesh calibration[1] | Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts also included in the kit[2] |
| Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence) | 32 points[1] | Not documented |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament sensor with runout and stripping detection[1] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | 32-bit Archim 2.2b with Trinamic TMC2130 drivers[1] | LDO Leviathan control board; Nitehawk SB USB toolhead board with an integrated accelerometer[2] |
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | 500 W 24 V Mean Well, auto-switching, 100-240 VAC input[1] | Not documented |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Marlin[1] | Klipper[2] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | USB serial; 16 GB flash drive included for standalone printing[1] | Not documented |
| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | Not documented | COB LED chamber lighting included[2] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Not documented | Self-assembly kit[2] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | PLA, TPU, ABS, PETG, PVA, PVB, nylon, PC and other materials below 290 °C[1] | Not documented |
| Reliability, Support & Ecosystem | ||
| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | 1 year standard with extended options. Made in the USA[1] | Not documented |
| Independently Measured Performance | ||
| Dimensional accuracy measurements (third-party, with numbers) | Positional resolution 0.01 mm in X/Y and 0.002 mm in Z (manufacturer specification)[1] | Not documented |
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.
