![]() Really not a big deal, worst case you damage a nozzle, just unscrew and replace buying replacements is easy. Its something I knew from reading reviews and as I wasn't powering off it hasn't been any problem for me to place a piece of packing foam on the printer next to the bed to catch it anyway in case it fell (I'm designing an addon I can print to catch it too if I forget the foam). The Cetus is compact but solid, the plate is unheated but printing with raft everything I've done so far is perfect and easy to remove and easy to stick to its bed.Ĭalibration is easy via software instead of tiny hard to reach screws, there are no essential mods you need to do first it will work fine out of the box.That said its X arm doesnt lock to the vertical Z rail when power is off and being heavy can drop easily landing on the print bed with the end of the nozzle. The Cetus on default settings has been printing around the clock all weekend just fine with my old cocoon filament (every Cetus owner says the same, its very tolerant of any brand of PLA filaments) the cocoon needed constant fine tuning to get its own filament printing and I never got it to print any other brand successfully. For someone with only one working arm this is very easy. The Cetus just bloody well works and maintaining will be easy and minimal, changing nozzles or removing to unclog (if it does) is dead easy and it comes with three nozzles sizes so theres no dodgy feeder to get jammed, or heat blocks and fans to remove to service like the Cocoon Create. I also have a delta printer that came doa and never printed and the first Aldi printer which was temperamental to use and very difficult to maintain (high maintenance needed). Its a very well engineered product with well machined metal rails. Don’t be afraid to go either higher or lower then our advised temperatures if you feel your set-up needs this.Just bought a Cetus 3d Extended Mk II 3D printer (US$399) arived in four days, goes together just fine. We feel our temperature advice holds for most 3d printers, but should be considered as a starting point for you to find the temperatures that work in you setup. * 3d printers have lots of different types of hot-end which makes it extremely difficult to give aan temperature advice. After a few centimeters you can turn on the cooling if the part needs it. This allows the material to slowly get rid of heat without warping. If it’s very important that your part is perfectly flat than we suggest to turn down the fan that is cooling your part. TIP! PLA/PHA has very minimal warping tendencies, however if your printing parts which take up the maximum of you buildspace you might see some warping. ![]() Having the nozzle set to close to the build plate will cause a pressure build up and as a result back flow in most hot ends. A perfect first layer will is very important, especially for 3d prints with a large bottom layer. TIP! Take your time leveling the bed and adjusting the the gap between 3d printer nozzle and build plate. When the tape is applied correctly it can last for months. This tape is available as a very narrow strip or very wide strips which allow you to cover the build plate in one go. If applying this method, be careful that you don’t get your electronics wet.Īnother method that works well with colorFabb PLA/PHA is polyimide tape, or Kapton tape. By applying just a few drops and smearing this out before you start heating the built plate will create a very thing layer which holds the PLA/PHA down very well. Another method is dissolving wood glue in water, you the consistency of the substance can be quite thin, a bit like milk. A very thin layer will be sufficient to keep your print nicely in place. ![]() For directly printing on glass or aluminum we advice user to apply glue-stick. The usual suspects are glass and aluminum build plates. Users using heated build platforms have quite a few options these days. The rough surface of the tape will provide enough adhesion for the first layer to stick and print almost without any warping. ![]() For those users printing on a cold build platform we advise applying masking tape to the build area. Our PLA/PHA performs well on both heated and non-heated build platforms. We know our materials will give you excellent results and to help you get these results here are tips and trick for using colorFabb 3d printing filament. At colorFabb we have a well equipped 3d printing studio with a lot of popular 3d printers. ![]()
