Material: Designed for PLA but open to other materials.Print technology: Melted extrusion modeling (MEM).Platform leveling: Manual alignment, software-assisted leveling.It’s pre-calibrated and can be used right out of the box via either USB or Wi-Fi, and its bundled Cetus Software (also available as an iOS app) offers 2D to 3D conversion, blackout recovery and automatic support generation. It offers three different fast-change nozzle size options of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mm, and a specially designed adhesive coating allows for good first layer adhesion along with easy print removal. Print quality is excellent, according to its developers, with high-quality linear bearings on all three axes, and it’s all aluminum including the build platform, so it’s definitely going to be durable despite its featherweight 3.7 kg (6.6 lbs).ĭespite its minimalism, there’s a lot that the Cetus can do. Thanks to its minimalist design, however, the printer is pretty much all build platform, so it offers a good-sized print volume of 180 x 180 x 180 mm. With dimensions of 265 x 275 x 265 mm, Cetus is a tiny little guy that can easily share your desktop or workstation with your computer and other supplies. A simple, reliable and easy-to-use desktop 3D printer, one that lives up to its name and can actually fit on your desktop, is very appealing, and it doesn’t get much simpler or more compact than the Cetus 3D Printer, soon to be launching on Kickstarter. But when it comes down to it, simplicity is probably the aspect that most often draws my interest, and I think that’s the case for a lot of people, particularly hobbyists and casual makers – and certainly for educators. I can’t deny that I love a fancy 3D printer, with LCD screens and filters and built-in scanners and all sorts of other fun stuff.
