Jason Wu: We are positioning this machine as a prosumer 3D printer with an entry-level price. Cetus is almost a plug and play device, first-time 3D printer users just need to fasten a few screws before it is ready to print.

The machine is calibrated in factory so there is no need for the user to do so.
#CALIBRATE CETUS3D SOFTWARE#
We provide straightforward software with optimized printing parameters so a beginner does not need to know all the printing parameters before getting started.įor advanced users, Cetus also provides freedom for tinkering. The software can change print temperature, so users could experiment with different materials. We will support GCODE in the near future, so the Cetus could be used with other slicers on the market. The printer’s extrusion body is able to accept standard T-nuts so user could easily modify it. An extra 5V output is on the extruder head, so an electronic add-on is also possible.
#CALIBRATE CETUS3D UPGRADE#
We are also providing upgrades: In the kickstarter campaign, backers could choose to upgrade to a taller version with a build volume of 180x300x180mm.
#CALIBRATE CETUS3D SERIES#
CETUS3D CALIBRATION SERIESĪ series of upgrades are also planned and will be release in the future. How does the machine maintain printing accuracy with far fewer rods and gantries used in other, more expensive machines? In one sentence, Cetus is targeting the general desktop 3D printing market covering from beginner to enthusiast.įabbaloo: The machine design seems to be very lightweight due to fewer parts. Jason Wu: The printer use high quality linear rails on all 3 axes our baseline is to use HIWIN or better rails.

The body is full metal and therefore very rigid. This results in excellent print accuracy and makes the printer very quiet as well. The Cetus desktop 3D printer comes with three different nozzle sizesįabbaloo: I’ve not seen an inexpensive machine with the ability to change nozzle sizes (the Cetus 3D offers 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6mm nozzles). What are these able to do for the operator? What benefits do they offer? Jason Wu: The different nozzles will provide much more freedom for operators to get better results for different purposes. If you need highly detailed prints, the 0.2mm nozzle could give double the resolution of the 0.4mm nozzle. You can go to our Kickstarter campaign to see the print samples. On the other hand, if you need something to be printed faster especially bigger prints, the 0.6mm nozzle will come in handy. The 0.6mm nozzle is also excellent for printing flexible materials such TPU/TPE and composite materials such as wood composite or metal composite materials. The simple, yet sympathetic looking 3D printer will be priced at $1,649 and made available – for preordering – on the 1 st of June.What is the difference and why are two versions offered? Multiple materials may be 3D printed on the Cetus 3D printerįabbaloo: I’m told there are two versions of the Cetus 3D, one being the extended version. Other related news concerns the provided software, which has also seen some new and revamped features. More precisely it offers the targeted users – especially those with no extensive expertise or interest in tech tinkering – automatic platform height and leveling calibration. Named simply the UP! Plus2, this new iteration of the successful 3D printer relies on attributes related to convenience – namely calibration automation – which is in the core of the philosophy behind the machine.

In practice, in the case of Chinese PP3DP – also known as the Delta Micro Factory – it means introducing a successor to the first UP! Plus 3D printer. Due to the ever growing hardware crowd occupying the market, the already established companies are looking to toughen up their game to stay relevant and in the headlines. Regardless of the chosen technical approach or the price positioning within the consumer and/or prosumer categories, the competitive field is a quantitatively measured market, which doesn’t exactly lack applicants, all aiming for that generic brand name synonymous with a home desktop 3D printer. Unsurprisingly, there have been a lot of new hardware announcements in the 3D printer sector this year, with some trying to completely rewrite the rules and some offering more ‘traditional’ solutions.
