The LulzBot TAZ 6 is a versatile, high performance desktop 3D printer for industrial users that respects your freedom to create. Material for printing consist primarily of PLA filament. See a list of commonly used 3D printing filament. For other specialty filament requests, contact the Makers Lab to discuss availability.
Attending the monthly 3D Printing Part I pop-up is recommended prior to using the LulzBot TAZ 6.
Contact the Makers Lab to reserve the LulzBot TAZ 6 3D printer.

The LulzBot TAZ 6 3D printer can be modified with different types of extruders to achieve larger prints and to print with multiple materials. Read more below.
LulzBot TAZ MOARstruder
The LulzBot TAZ MOARstruder is a toolhead compatible with LulzBot TAZ 6 3D printer. This modification allows the 3D printer to extrude filament using thicker layers (greater layer height) and print large models faster than using the standard extruder.
If your print time estimate exceeds 8 hours, then the MOARstruder may be an option for you. Contact the Makers Lab to request to 3D print with the MOARstruder.

LulzBot TAZ Dual Extruder v3
The LulzBot TAZ Dual Extruder (v3) is a toolhead compatible with LulzBot TAZ 6 3D printer. The modification allows for the 3D printer to print using two filaments instead of one. The Dual Extruder can print with a majority of PLA plastics and with water-soluble filament, like PVA. 3D printing with water-soluble support structures is a great solution for 3D printing complex models, such as protein structures. Learn more about 3D Printing with PVA and contact the Makers Lab to request to 3D print with the Dual Extruder.
