Any blu-ray drive can rip 3D blu-ray discs. There's nothing special about them. For UHD, you will need a compatible drive.
Cheers :D

I was sleeping and missed the fact that these drives are gone from billy. I'm going to chance the Amazon link and see if I get one with an early enough firmware.

I was delaying as I don't have a PC desktop, just PC laptops. I do have Mac Mini and MacBooks. Can anyone suggest an enclosure that'll work with this drive and USB-C until I get a desktop?
