However, it offers a very interesting build volume to footprint ratio, thanks to its clever design. It works wirelessly and comes with a control application for smartphones.)

The Cetus3D 3D printer is an affordable 3D printer made by Cetus3D, a manufacturer based in China. Cetus3D is a subsidiary of Beijing Tiertime Technology LTD.As a truly essential system, the body of Cetus3D is made of aluminum extrusions,the XYZ axis all using stainless steel liner rail,and the machine is simplified into only six modules.There are 3 nozzle options with the preset profiles, 0.2mm, 0.4mm and 0.6mm,which can meet different requirement of print accuracy,Cetus3D printer has 2 verstions,the Standard version and the Extended version,The standard version provide a print volume 180mmx170mmx180mm and the Extended version has a bigger print volume 180mmx170mmx280mm.

The build plate for Cetus3D is a 3mm aluminum plate, which ensures a perfectly flat build surface. It is fixed onto the linear guide directly, and there are no moving parts between the slider and the build plate. This ensures that the build surface is flat and parallel along the X-axis. The Y-axis is carefully calibrated in the factory, so users can start printing right out of the box, and there is no need to level the machine before getting to work!

The latest generation of Cetus3D is named MKIII,which added heated build plate,then customers can use it print not only the PLA material but more materials like ABS,PC,ABS+ etc.and the MKIII will provide options to upgrade the anto-leveling function.
