UltiMaker 3 Extended vs. LulzBot TAZ 6: A Detailed Comparison of Two Professional 3D Printers

The UltiMaker 3 Extended and LulzBot TAZ 6 stand out as two formidable players in the professional-grade FDM/FFF 3D printing arena. Released in 2016, both machines are built to cater to intermediate through professional users with a focus on prototyping and advanced manufacturing workflows. Their core similarities include open-frame Cartesian mechanics, auto bed leveling, and multi-material printing capabilities supporting up to two materials simultaneously. However, fundamental differences in build volume, extrusion technology, supported materials, connectivity, and business-oriented features set them apart significantly. The UltiMaker 3 Extended emphasizes precision, automation, and enterprise-connected features. At the same time, the LulzBot TAZ 6 offers a robust, larger build volume with greater filament versatility and a more hands-on, modular design.

The Compact Powerhouse: UltiMaker 3 Extended

The UltiMaker 3 Extended is a paragon of compact efficiency and advanced print technology. Measuring a mere 13.46 by 19.88 by 27.09 inches and weighing just 24.91 lbs, it demands only 1.67 square feet of workspace, making it highly efficient for spaces where footprint matters. Despite its smaller size, it boasts a respectable 13.87 cubic inches of build volume with a superior build-to-printer size ratio of 12.8, indicating optimized use of its enclosure space.

One of the defining traits of this machine is its dual Bowden extruder setup, enabling multi-material prints without manual tool swapping. Users benefit from finer layers with a minimum resolution of 20 microns, surpassing many competitors. Nozzle options ranging from 0.25 mm to 0.8 mm allow tailoring of print detail and speed. At the same time, the extruder can reach temperatures as high as 536°F, supporting a wide array of filaments, including PLA, ABS, PETG, and nylon. Notably, the inclusion of a filament dry box guards sensitive materials against moisture, greatly enhancing print reliability.

When it comes to connectivity and control, the UltiMaker 3 Extended is impressively modern. It offers USB, Wi-Fi, and LAN interfaces backed by cloud-based software and a mobile app, enabling remote monitoring, print farm management, and multi-printer fleet control. Advanced features such as spaghetti/fault detection and real-time remote error alerts add a layer of automation rarely found in this category. Its 2.1-inch screen displays essential data concisely, complemented by built-in chamber lighting and a camera for visual oversight. Business users will appreciate enterprise security features, usage analytics dashboards, and predictive cost estimation support, making it a well-rounded solution for professional environments.

LulzBot TAZ 6: The Rugged, Versatile Workhorse

The LulzBot TAZ 6 makes its mark with a significantly larger build area of 1185 cubic inches, supporting prints up to 11.02 by 11.02 by 9.8 inches; an appealing feature for users requiring big or multiple-part prints. However, the printer occupies more space, about 4.6 square feet; its build-to-printer size ratio of 9 places it solidly in the large-format category. Weighing 33 lbs, it remains portable within workshop settings.

What sets this machine apart is its direct drive extruder, adept at handling flexible materials like TPU and composite filaments such as carbon fiber and wood. The LulzBot supports filament diameters of 3 mm, slightly thicker than the UltiMaker's 2.85 mm, which may impact filament longevity and feed tolerance. Out of the box, it has one extruder but can be upgraded to dual extruders, although it lacks independent dual extrusion.

The TAZ 6's layer resolution minimum of 50 microns is less fine than the Ultimaker's, but is ample for many prototyping and engineering use cases. Its standard nozzle diameter is 0.5 mm, with multiple nozzle size options offering flexibility in print speed and detail. The maximum extruder temperature peaks at 572°F with a heated bed capable of reaching 248°F, enhancing adhesion of challenging materials.

Connectivity is more traditional, relying on USB and SD card transfers with no cloud or remote monitoring features; however, the LulzBot shines in manual workflow integration and supports multiple slicers, including Cura and Simplify3D. Its larger 3.5-inch touchscreen offers an intuitive interface for on-site control. The machine's modular toolhead design facilitates multi-material printing and easy maintenance. Despite lacking certain automated and safety sensors available on the UltiMaker, it boasts a durable open-frame Cartesian configuration with solid safety certifications and power-loss recovery.

Economically, the LulzBot TAZ 6 appeals with a price roughly half that of the UltiMaker, typically ranging from $2,500 to $2,700, making it a favorite for educational and industrial prototyping on a budget. The printer supports continuous print runs up to 72 hours, demonstrating reliability under extended workloads.

Quick Take

The UltiMaker 3 Extended is a sleek, compact powerhouse delivering high-resolution prints with advanced dual extrusion and smart remote management tools perfect for businesses and print farms. Meanwhile, the LulzBot TAZ 6 emphasizes raw build volume, filament versatility, and direct drive precision suitable for users requiring large, flexible material prints without premium pricing. Both printers are strong choices, but they cater to distinct professional needs.

Bottom Line

For professionals and enterprises focusing on precision, speed, automation, and connected workflows, the UltiMaker 3 Extended offers an all-in-one solution that justifies its premium price. Conversely, those needing a rugged machine with a considerably larger print volume and flexible material compatibility, especially when budget is a concern, find a great option in the LulzBot TAZ 6. Your choice boils down to prioritizing either cutting-edge features or broad versatility.

Verdict

  • Winner: UltiMaker 3 Extended - Outstanding in print resolution, dual extrusion convenience, remote/cloud integration, and enterprise-ready management.
  • Runner-up: LulzBot TAZ 6 - Excellent build volume, flexible filament support, and modular design at a more accessible price, suited for large prototyping needs.
