Cetus3D 3D Printer
awemawson:
Has anyone any experience of the Cetus3D 3 D printer - it looks an elegant and simple method of construction - I know it's not the bees knees but it caught my imagination:

I presume that they are USA based but their web site is a bit coy about details, so not sure if they are available in the UK.
I know that there is one design fault, in that if the power is cut, the Z axis crashes down onto the platen but that is eliminated by a 2lb 'tool balancer' spring :)
PK:
I know two people who have them, one runs a 3D printing service/movie prop making business and the other is Angus from the 'Makers Muse' youtube channel.
Both speak highly of the unit with the caveat 'For what it is'
I can't recall if it has a heated bed, but this is generally considered a good thing, and essential if you want to make crap FDM prints with plastics that tend to the belligerent side of functional..
It's certainly an addable thing...

Interesting - thanks. I've emailed them to ask re shipping to the UK and will await results - hey I don't NEED a 3D printer in my life but this one seemed quite reasonably engineered for a change :ddb:
