Lulzbot TAZ 6 makes decision hard again!
So, after some months of wrangling, I'd decided to go with the Ultimaker 2+ as a replacement for the Velleman K8200 I've had on extended loan from a friend. The only real competitor (in my view) was the TAZ 5, but for me the UM 2+ just pipped it to the post for the quality of its prints and some indication of greater print reliability, but it was darn close.
Now Lulzbot have thrown me a curve by releasing (May 17) the TAZ 6. Although a little more expensive than the UM 2+ (I've yet to see UK prices so I can't be certain how much), it appears to offer some great features that would probably push it past the UM, most notably the auto-levelling bed and what seems like possibly a more flexible extruder setup.
So, is the UM 2+ still a good choice or does the TAZ 6 pull off a late sprint to the line? The levelling bed really appeals to me, although I'm possibly scarred by the horrible torture of trying to level the K8200.
