Customer beware of SD card slot and lack of USB support

I have a Taz 6 which is almost identical to the Taz "workhorse". One of the main problems is the lack of a USB port. Over time, the SD card slot wears out and this poses a serious problem when trying to print offline when the printer is not connected to a computer. For nearly $4,000, you'd think a USB slot would be standard. Also, Lulzbot went out of business and was bought by FAME in North Dakota. Technical support is less than before, they seem demoralized so you can take that into account.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

So I settled for the randomly last file on the list (which would make sense). I…

Pros
  • Great for me

I wouldn't be happy.

In the box you get a printer, a PLA pattern to print a test part, a set of tools, an SD card, power cable and USB. Out of the box, you can simply attach the bed assembly, connect the cables, and start printing. The included tool set comes in a nice bag and contains many tools and items that you will need. I thought it was a very good recording. I have attached a picture of the items included. After setting everything up and trying to test the print, I had a few issues; I couldn't remove the…
