Any one running a Lulzbot TAZ 3? 1.) How do you like it? 2.) Have you run Ninja flex through it? 3.) Have you run Laywoo-D3 Filament through it?
They have Slic3r profiles they are promoting on their site and I am very interested in real user feedback on the machine and running different filaments.

Did you know that LulzBot offers default Slic3r configurations on our website? These default configurations make going from an STL file to GCODE easier than ever!

I just got one at work. I’ve used and built many different printers over the last few years. I have to say the TAZ 3 is so damn good I kind of want buy one for myself.
It was up and running within 45 minutes of the box arriving and the only reason it took that long was I was eating lunch at the same time.
The Slic3r profiles are great as well. Really I dont have a bad thing to say yet. The only thing I wish is that it was enclosed but that can be fixed easily.
@Joe_Spanier what filaments have you run through it yet?
I have a TAZ 3 and have ran PLA through it and HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) both with mixed results. It didn’t bridge that great meaning printing the top layer over the infill. I was using CURA and the infill seemed a bit too spread apart. The forums suggested buying the printer fan to cool the filament to assist in the problem but hadn’t bought one yet, but I did print this front end ok:

I’ve been only printing abs. I’m going to try pla later this week.
@Jeff_Tucker that’s a common issue with cura in general. Try slowing your infill speeds down to about 80%. Both of those filaments need a fan to bridge a gap decently as well.
Love the 2 I have.
I have only run ABS through them.
