Longtime personal 3D printer manufacturer Aleph Objects has stepped it up by releasing their latest personal 3D printer, the LulzBot TAZ 4. 

The companyā€™s products have an excellent reputation among its customers and weā€™re expecting that tradition to be continued with the TAZ 4. But whatā€™s new?

We believe the TAZ 4 to be an evolution of the TAZ 3, as many of the specifications are similar, such as the build volume and 3mm filament system. However, according to Aleph Objects, theyā€™ve done several less-visible but significant improvements: 

  • An improved Z drive rod system will produce more accurate builds and increase the reliability of those critical first few layers
  • Improved Y axis mounts ensures the pre-assembled machine will be able to print from setup in less than 30 minutes
  • The power supply has been beefed up to 400w to enable the attachment of many future upgrades and accessories
  • The TAZ 4 is dual-ready; electronics are in place for experimental 3D printing with many different materials thru an optional future second extruder

One terrific feature that is still included in the TAZ 4 is the amazing toolkit that every personal 3D printer owner should have: 

  • Toolkit bag
  • 15 Piece Metric Hex Key Set
  • Pliers, Needle Nose
  • Tweezers
  • Standard Precision Knife
  • Dental Pick
  • Flathead Bristle Brush
  • Part Removal Knife (clam knife)
  • Metric Ruler
  • Acetone-safe Bottle (acetone not included)

Just add a set of electronic calipers and youā€™re all set. 

The TAZ 4, with 90 day warranty, is ready to ship to anywhere today and is currently available at a cost of USD$2,195.
