The brand, which dates itself to 2011, was built up by Aleph Objects of Loveland, Colorado; after near-closure in 2019 it was bought by FAME 3D, which runs it from Fargo, North Dakota. LulzBot publishes its printer CAD, firmware and Cura LulzBot Edition slicer, and sells the TAZ and Mini printers to schools, labs and businesses that want a machine they can repair for years. - Firmware and custom firmware: 5/5. LulzBot publishes its Klipper, Moonraker, Mainsail and Marlin forks under the GPL-3.0 on GitHub, updated through 2026, and the Mini 3 runs Klipper. The Free Software Foundation lists the LulzBot Mini and TAZ 6 as Respects Your Freedom certified. - Local control and integrations: 5/5. The Mini 3 runs Klipper with Mainsail in any browser and prints over Wi-Fi or from a USB drive. LulzBot maintains its own Moonraker and Mainsail forks on GitHub, Moonraker's API is documented, and LulzBot offers no printer cloud or account. - Third-party filament, slicers and parts: 5/5. Tool heads for 1.75 and 2.85 mm filament, any filament brand, the open-source Cura LulzBot Edition (LGPL/AGPL on GitHub) and OrcaSlicer profiles for older models. Tool heads are LulzBot designs, but their sources are published too. - Repairs and spare parts: 5/5. LulzBot's shop lists about 155 spare parts, including parts for the TAZ 6 and Mini 1, and the CAD for the TAZ 8 and Mini 3 (GPL-3.0) is published on GitLab. - Data and privacy: 5/5. No account is needed to print. LulzBot's privacy notice covers only its website and says personal data is not sold or rented. - Community and documentation: 4/5. An official forum with posts every week, public GitHub and GitLab repositories and published assembly and support documents; the community is active but small. - March 2025: LulzBot introduced the TAZ 8, a large printer with swappable Galaxy Series tool heads. - July 2024: LulzBot introduced the Mini 3, running Klipper with the Mainsail web interface and Wi-Fi; its CAD is published on GitLab under the GPL-3.0. - November 2019: Aleph Objects sold its assets, including the LulzBot brand, to Fargo Additive Manufacturing Equipment 3D (FAME 3D) of Fargo, North Dakota. - October 2019: Aleph Objects laid off about 80% of its workforce in a cash-flow crunch while looking for new owners; it said it would keep making and servicing LulzBot printers and honour all warranties. ## LulzBot printers for print farms Running a print farm with SimplyPrint: https://simplyprint.io/print-farms The best 3D printers for print farms: https://simplyprint.io/articles/best-3d-printer-for-print-farms ## LulzBot printers for education SimplyPrint for schools and universities: https://simplyprint.io/education The best 3D printers for schools: https://simplyprint.io/articles/best-3d-printers-for-schools ## Frequently asked questions ### Does LulzBot work with SimplyPrint?
