I deducted one star on the Features rating solely for this reason, where it is something that many do consider to be an absolute requirement. The only notable drawback in my opinion is the lack of a heated bed. When you factor in the extras such as WiFi connectivity, Blackout Recovery and the Smartphone app, you have one of the most complete packages available under $400.

It has a massive build volume compared to its compact dimensions, built using high quality components, and the results are among the best available in similarly priced machines. This is a fantastic 3D printer offered at a budget friendly price point. While I would have preferred the inclusion of a heated bed within the package, this can be purchased separately from their website. Unfortunately the build plate does not include a heated bed, only a factory coated surface to improve adhesion. By utilizing these in the design, the aluminum build plate is attached directly to the x-axis guide rail, ensuring it remains level at all times. The high quality linear rails are the basic motion system in which the printer moves.

Mounting these to a frame built from aluminum extrusion, it is extremely durable while being only a fraction of the weight and size of its competitors. It is compact by design, comprised of 6 core modules that it requires to operate. They have placed great emphasis on quality construction using only the essential components. Stick with the Cetus slicer and save some money and heartbreak.The minimalist approach is the foundation of the Cetus3D and by far my favorite aspect of this printer. But, if you’re a newbie like me, skip S3D. If you’re knowledgeable enough to make it work, by all means, get S3D. When the gcode loads, the stepper motors will bang against the endstops until you kill the print, even when you remove all the G28 codes. I’ve purchased S3D, followed every single one the instructions here, spoken to the S3D support, and it simply won’t work. The profile at the beginning of this thread will NOT work on every case. Be very aware of that before you shell out $150 for S3D. The Cetus3D is not “supported” in the general sense of the term. It WON’T connect to the printer via USB or wireless. Just a bit of advice to anyone who’s not very savvy: Simplif圓D will NOT work right off the box with the Cetus3D MKII.
#Cetus3d extended software#
Their only solution was to create the G-code in S3D and print it using the Cetus software (which I find to be excellent - I take stl files from sketchup straight to the Cetus software and print) Hope this issue gets resolved.

They say they have a MkII and use it in their office.
#Cetus3d extended code#
S3D says it’s a communication error because Cetus uses a proprietary code sequence in their transmission to the printer. Same problem I am having with S3D doesn’t connect to Cetus MkII extended. A new device will show up in this directory and that's the port you'll need to use.
#Cetus3d extended serial#
It may be time to take the software's advice and to set the serial port and baudrate manually.īefore plugging the printer in via serial cable, do an ls -l /dev on the Raspberry.
