I picked up this printer at MRRF 2021 (Midwest RepRap Festival, in Goshen, Indiana). Configure your Lulzbot 289 here:

Disclaimer: I purchased a Lulzbot Sidekick 289 at full price during MRRF. I committed to making a video of my experience and thoughts on this printer and in return was provided with a discount price that included the M175 (Mosquito 1.75mm toolhead) shown in this video. The model featured in this video: Lulzbot Taz Sidekick 289 3D Printer, Magnetic Flex Bed, gLCD controller. The printer equipped with this toolhead, heated bed, build surface, gLCD can be configured for around $1275. View the configurator here: shop.lulzbot.com/sidekick
Quick and dirty info on key specifications:
* The Sidekick 289 build volume is 6 x 6 ⅜ x 7 ⅛ inches, or 162 x 164 x 185mm and starts at $795 (4.9 cubic mm vs 5.8 cubic mm)
*The Sidekick 747 is 9 x 9 x 9 ¾ inches, or 231 x 231 x 249mm and starts at $995 (13.2 cubic mm vs 11.02 cubic mm)
* Both printers have 24v Meanwell power supplies. The 289 has a 150 watt, and the 747 a 300 watt.
* Both printers have swappable toolheads that can easily be changed with 3 thumb screws and a connector, and firmware (Marlin fork) changed via LCD menu.
* Toolhead options come in both 2.85 and 1.75 options. I will be showing the 1.75 Slice engineering toolhead in a future video.
