Lulzbot released today TAZ 3.0, which features injection molded parts and a redesigned 24v heat bed. That means the printer has a much faster heat time than the previous version.
The TAZ 3.0 3D printer with its new design can print with more than just ABS, it can also print with PLA, PVA, high-impact polystyrene, or a wood filament. With add-ons, you can print with materials like nylon or polycarbonate! Since nylon takes such high temperatures to print correctly you must have to upgrade the hot end I would think but that's just speculation.

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. Printing from an SD card will make it so you don't have to worry about your computer freezingrestarting or anything!

The other printing specs remain the same as the TAZ 2.0.
