LulzBot TAZ 3 3D Printer

New improved version of Lulzbot TAZ. The TAZ 3.0 now comes with a graphic LCD controller for printing directly from an SD card. The graphic LCD controller has the ability to perform print start up, print selection, and configuration changes.
It also features injection molded parts and a redesigned 24v heat bed which means that the printer has a much faster heat time. It can now print with more than just ABS, PLA, PVA, high-impact polystyrene, or a wood filament, with add-ons it can print with materials like nylon or polycarbonate.
