The print head is easily maintained and allows for quick nozzle changes. What’s more, the Cetus3D build plate is coated with a special surface coating that optimizes PLA adherence without complicating the print removal process.Īt the same time, this minimalism allows for plenty of customization options. The Y axis is carefully calibrated in factory, so under normal usage, there is no need to for users to calibrate the 3D printer upon arrival,” the Chinese engineers add. “ there is no moving part between the slider and the build plate, which ensures that the build surface is flat and parallel along the X axis. The Cetus3D’s build plate is made from aluminum too, and is affixed directly to the linear guide.
A strong fan is therefore included for optimal cooling and to improve the level of detail. Of course, you need some other components to ensure a good 3D printing quality. “It occupies a small space but provide a rather big build volume,” its manufacturer Tiertime rightly say. As far as desktop 3D printers go, the Cetus3D printer thus offers an excellent print volume to machine volume ratio. This also makes it one of the lightest metal-bodied 3D printers out there, weighing just 3.2 kg (or 7lb) – light enough to be very portable.īut despite that low weight, the Cetus3D still has an respectable build volume of 180 x 180 x 180mm (7 x7 x 7 inches), out of a total machine dimension of 260 x 260 x 280 mm (10.2 x 10.2 x 11inches). The Cetus3D features an aluminum body that has been brought down to just six separate modules: three axis modules, one electronic module, one print bed module, and one extruder module. This also pushes down costs, with the Cetus3D printer starting as low as $199 on Kickstarter.Īnd when we say minimalist, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Best described as minimalist, this 3D printer doesn’t feature any unnecessary extras and simply focuses on the essentials – providing an open, high quality 3D printing experience.

That question has just been highlighted by a brand-new desktop 3D printer called the Cetus3D, by the Chinese 3D printer manufacturer Tiertime Technology (makers of the Up! series of 3D printers) from Beijing. As a result, destop 3D printers are increasingly starting to look alike, aside from a few little extras. In response to growing competition, many desktop 3D printer developers tend to incorporate many cool features and gadgets, while others focus entirely on plug-and-play abilities or software. The market for desktop 3D printing is getting a bit crazy, and it can be very hard to find exactly what you want.
