Belted stepper motors assure movement on the axis. The linear rails on each axis ensure quiet, precise functionality with the extruder rail controlling the X-axis, while the print bed runs on the Y-axis, and finally, the extruder rail moves along the Z-axis module. Filament diameters of around 0.38 translate to the 2200% cmeyer posted (flow rate factors in quadratic, so use fine steps when adjusting it). It uses Melted Extrusion Modeling (MEM) print tech with a cantilever design. Flow rate percentage adjustments mess up the ‘layer view’ in Cura (from years of experience with an Ultimaker 2, I find this one of the most helpful features in Cura). Keep in mind that you may have to find a physical solution for levelling the build bed when using Cura.ĭ) With the current version of Cura (v3.3.1) it is better to adjust the flow rate of molten filament via the filament diameter, than the flow rate percentage. The nozzle is too far away from the bed, if the individual lines can be easily separated and do not stick together.)Ĭ) Up Studio allows for an 9-point calibration routine for the z-axis.

The nozzle is too close to the bed, if the brim thickness (z-direction) gets to thin and translucent. Tags Free Cetus3D Z Axis Rail Lock v1.03D print desi.

If you use a brim around a test-model in Cura, the correct height is achieved, if the individual lines that make up the brim squash together nicely. (I think a painfully precise calibration is overkill. When the X axis starts calibrating, the head goes right (away from the switch) for a few centimetres then jumps sharply to the left and finally head right for another centimetre or so.

I did compile my ‘own version’ from the start code by chrisevich. When initializing (through software because the button on the front no longer seems to do anything), the printer calibrates on Z then Y axis. Perhaps the info below will help someone in the future:Ī) I used the start and end code from chrisevich ( #11) which worked nicely for me.ī) the z-axis calibration code posted by cmeyer never worked for me. I just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this thread - it helped me tremendously when setting up my Cetus3D MkII with Cura. G1 X50 E360 F300 extrude a 5cm purge line G1 X2 Y178 F5000 move to back right corner M206 X-180 offset X axis so the coordinates are 0.180, normally they are -180.0 Do the paper test and use a gcode file something like this:p.p1 the nozzle offset may be different than in Cetus Studio. I tried to model this thing in a minimal and elegant manner. It is part of conversion to opensource tinyfab MCU, that requires mecanical switch for endstops. I dont mean that they are reversed - when I send to move the x axis, the y axis moves, and vice versa.

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.- make sure your nozzle offset is correct in the starting g-code This is my version of X axis cap for cetus3d mk2 extended. Hi, I installed the Tinyfab cpu running Smoothieware and the x and y axes are switched. Buy Cetus2 here and ship from USA warehouse. 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! This is the Cetus3D online store for United States customers. This ensures that the build surface is flat and parallel along the X-axis. It is fixed onto the linear guide directly, and there are no moving parts between the slider and the build plate. But despite that low weight, the Cetus3D still has an respectable build volume of 180 x 180 x 180mm (7 x7 x 7 inches), out of a total machine dimension of 260 x 260 x 280 mm (10.2 x 10.2 x 11inches). The build plate for Cetus3D is a 3mm aluminum plate, which ensures a perfectly flat build surface. 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 180(W)x170(H)x180(D)mm/7” x 6.6” x 7” and the Extended version has a bigger print volume 180(W)x280(H)x180(D)mm/7” x 11” x 7” The Cetus3D 3D printer is an affordable 3D printer made by Cetus3D, a manufacturer based in China.
