![]() I have printed with PLA, PETG and TPU, all with the standard nozzle. Hey hey thanks again for all of your help, happy holidays. Although since i've switched to IC3D PLA they pop off quite easily. True? I really like the idea of removing the bed cover and flexing it to break the parts off easily. I like magnetic covers but I've read that they have issues with heated beds which negates the magnetism. Seems like the heated bed is pretty straight forward and I don't mind turning it on when I need it! What are you thoughts on going with the tinyfab heated bed but with the external temp controller. I'd rather spend my time in solidworks than endlessly searching for the best possible print settings. I'm starting to think that the tinyfab CPU isn't worth the trouble as the cetus prints so well out of the box and with minimal tweaking. Regarding nozzles, part of the reason I want to move off of the cetus extruder is because I want to be able to use other nozzles than tiertimes. So I've seen the ducted fan upgrade, is the fan that huge of an issue? Better cooling is needed when moving to different materials? The MK3 fan seems to be pretty quiet. Here's some more dumb questions to follow up the previous ones. ![]() Thank you so much for the long list of answers. You would still have to find which stock location is closest or works best for you. Note: Tiertime products I listed are just to show you the product. At the same time this allows you to print without a raft, which will save you a lot of filament. Take note that since these are smooth and have no ‘speacial sauce’ on top, the print doesn’t stick to the plate as well(despite being heated) This means that you just have to apply a bit of glue stick before each print. Once you’re done printing you can just pull it off, bend it, and your print comes right off. This one gets magnetically stuck to the other. The second ‘pad’ is where the printing happens. ![]() This one always stays on the printer, you can cut holes if you want to see the screws, slap it on the heated plate, and trim it to size. Now, the first ‘pad’, is the magnetic one. This is what I use.Ī magnetic two piece cover - This one is made of two parts, which are attracted magnetically to each other. There are two main types of covers that I and others found work well on a Cetus:Ī normal(non-preforated) stick on cover - You can just stick this bad boy on your heated plate, trim the edges, slap some glue stick on top, calibrate, and get to printing. You can get the Official MK3 heated plate cover(which I have not used), or you can get some 3rd party products Note: I’m not sure if this would be needed on perforated build plates, although I would go with non-perforated plates just so I can get flatter first layers. You can easily remove it with the spatula included with the printer, water(in a spray bottle), and window cleaner if you wish. Here we have three options since you said you didn’t want a Cetus build plate to print on.įirst real quick I just want to say that a normal glue stick(don’t know what country your in, but this is what we use in the US) will work fine for adhesion. Now, you also asked for a different material print on. If you choose to get the official build plate you would also have to get the extension board for the printer. These I’ve heard can be hard to setup and depending on your determination will or won’t be worth it, although you would have to consult u/thecaptain78 I’m on vacation and decided to leave my laptop at home, meaning you would have to do more research) have to go with a tiny fab setup. It’s kinda hard to search through a website made for computer on my phone. If you choose to get the tiny fab heated build plate you would(I think. They will last longer and be more resistant to wear from harder materials, but at the same time are much more expensive. That part is completely up to you.Īlthough since you want to get into other materials, you might want the steel nozzles available on the Tiertime website. The Cetus website says you can print with TPU with the nozzle that comes with the printer, so I think flexion extruder might be uneccesary, although it would be kinda cool to see how it worlds out. ![]() I haven’t tried printing with flexible filament yet, although I plan on doing so soon. This is optional.įirst let’s start with flexible filament. You can get the Quiet Fan which works just as well as the stock fan, but is quieter. So here I’ll just talk about all the other modifications you can make. (This is pretty much the only printed upgrade that I’ve slapped on my printer in the 3/4 years of having it.) Just make sure to print it on the flat side. Upgraded Fan Duct it’s pretty self explanatory. This is a big bunch of questions, so expect a couple spelling and formatting errors(doing this on mobile doesn’t help much either
