|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | LulzBot | LulzBot |
| Class | BEDSLINGER | BEDSLINGER |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | LulzBot TAZ Pro (LulzBot's own store lists it under Legacy LulzBot printers)[1] | LulzBot TAZ Pro Long Bed 3D Printer[2] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $4,950.00 on buy.lulzbot.com, in stock, checked Aug 2026[1] | $7,995.00 at MatterHackers, listed as currently unavailable, checked Aug 2026[2] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Several 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[1][2] | 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[2][1] |

| Stock nozzle material (brass / hardened steel / plated copper / composite tip) | Hardened steel[1] | GammaMaster steel[2] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 110 °C maximum bed temperature[1] | 80 °C maximum bed temperature — notably lower than the base TAZ Pro[2] |
| Bed heater type (DC/AC mains) & wattage | 360 W, 24 V silicone bed heater[1] | 360 W, 24 V silicone bed heater[2] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Dual-sided borosilicate glass with PEI film[1] | Blue spring-steel magnetic flex bed system[2] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Automatic 4-point mesh levelling using a 5 V contact circuit, plus automatic X-axis tramming, Z-offset and backlash compensation[1] | BLTouch, 32-point automatic mesh calibration[2] |
| Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence) | 4-point mesh[1] | 32 points[2] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament sensor with both runout and stripping detection[1] | Filament sensor with runout and stripping detection[2] |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | 32-bit Archim 2.2b with Trinamic TMC2130 drivers[1] | 32-bit Archim 2.2b with Trinamic TMC2130 drivers[2] |
| PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage) | 500 W 24 V Mean Well, auto-switching, 100-240 VAC input[1] | 500 W 24 V Mean Well, auto-switching, 100-240 VAC input[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.
