Back to plastic printing! With older Cetus MK2 maintenance, new Ceti (?) MK3 printers, and a Palette+ filament splicer.
marco, please be aware that on some linear rails you will find a pre-load on the balls, which will screw up the "feel" of it . It will basically create some stiction but the will be no play.
Upload all early in the morning and I had to go through EIGHT HOURS of school before I could come home and watch this...worth it ;)
wait was that belt just screwed into a block ?
Dear marco reps i started watching you since 1 year thats my first time i coment i like the way that you live you look so quite and peace full am a beginer in ardouino and electronics in general am stadying electronics that my 2end year i hope to learn more from you keep going
Hell yeaahhh LOVE that material splicer!!! I’m sending this video to my boss right now!!
In regards to precision metal parts (or tooling), nothing beats Taiwanese precision, I’ve been there for work, I fix lathes and mills, Taiwan is the mechanical precision worlds capitol (they’re obsessed, even their trains are perfectly matching the platforms).
Love your entertaining videos haha ohhh yeaaahhh!!!
Way too little powah over here lately - I might get to help someone remove a speed limit from a swiss-made high end ebike wheel, if I have some free time between making ads :)
The work and whole social ethnic is different than mainland China I gather.
Korean engineering is probably better though - pushed by Hyundai, Kia and Samsung etc..
Would you say Hiwin are the best rails, or just the most famous name? I have some SBC rails which have this nice low friction coating; night and day to Aliexpress' finest.
Marco Reps hahaha yeahhh if anyone asks your profession you can say: “informal ads professional” hahaa
The easiest way to remove speed limit (if you don’t have the programming software and cable) is to trick the speed sensor (some use external magnetic sensor). Most hub motors use the hall sensors pulses to measure the speed. Change wheel size settings is another trick, set to a very small wheel like 20” or 16” and you get a higher speed. If you LOVE electronics, go the hard way like a proper engineer hahaaa
Precision is great, but how is their accuracy?
Mind boggled....
Just doesn't seem possible that it could synchronize the filament changes to coincide at exactly the right spot in the print, must have some really voodoo tech to make that happen!
That filament splicer is amazing...both the beautiful hardware....and clever software for keeping calibration with many different printers.
Sure is ... maybe we get to look at their new flagship as well
I have to get me one of those powered screwdrivers!
Fantastic stuff, dude. Looking forward to see the "mystery CNC machine"!
I love that screwdriver that you use :-) Thanks for the interesting presentation of the Cetus and that strange splicer.
Seamlessly yes seamlessly you flow into the advertisement at the end. SMOOTH
Great Video, I was wondering what the new Cetus was like, I have a Kickstarter MK1
Hei Marco. Lucky you. Mine belt holder damaged on a freshly new Cetus MK3 during an ABS print in a sunny day.... Plate temp was too high (100Deg) and the enclosure got terribly hot so it worn out even the upper side... Bah. keep going
ive got mine modified with the tinyfab cpu printing at .07 with the .2 nozzle and autobed lvl and i love it
Very very good!! I also have the MKII for my channel:) if you want the Cetus can be modified also with a new motherboard completly openhardware. I also know that the company that sell the older linear bearings has finished the forniture for the entire 2018/2019 year!
Ooh multicolor!!!!
Marco why would you torture our ears like that ;-;
sry :
Torture? All I heard was beautiful music.
I'd like to see the breakdown of youtube stats for the viewer drop off for each sound :-)
He's (we've) been Rickrolled
An Air Sample ?
How was it?
Is their air better than ours?
Is it's quality worth to raid it?
Hello Marco
Thanks to one of your previous video about this Cetus 3D presentation (couple months ago), I bought one… then 2 others "AS-IS" I repaired myself. Those are probably the best quality price ratio I met so far. So Many thanks to you about those "past" video.
Today, I found this multi-material video from you again, and I am just voiceless, as I was convinced the use of Mosaic system won't be possible because of "closed" architecture of Cetus 3D printers and the UP dedicated slicer.
I have to study carefully this video step by step, to make sure and understand all key points
By the way, I can confirm you that new fans, available on Cetus Store, are far better from low noise point of view: I changed all on all printers.
Again, many thanks for your videos: they helped a lot!
Wish you a Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Hey there!
I got myself a Cetus MK II after your video and I'm glad that the one you got didn't cause you any troubles so far.
My unit suffers regular from filament jams, support said that they know of the problem and have sent the MK I feeder as replacement but after a few months waiting I lost hope that it will ever arrive.
For your new intro I would love to see an appearance of the Mittwochsfrosch ;)
You are very funny my friend, that`s rare in a technician. LOL I work for a circuit board assembly house in California, and i`m wishing that I knew as much as you to help me with my final test bench failures.
Don't take them apart unless you have too. The shortest one took three and a half hours to reassemble.
I've been there.
Hope in humanity restored again, a new video is here! :D
That screwdriver looks amazing, ordering one! :)
can you splice a flexible filament with a harder filament?
You can’t print flexible Filaments at all with this setup, you would actually need a direct extrudiertes, and there isn’t one, I think. With a tube that long I wouldn’t even print PETG
@@joachim1973 its direct drive since the printer is. There is a ptfe tube to just guide the filament. It doesnt care if it is pulling it off the spool or a tube
"they are competent enough to build a decent website" as a software developer, totally agree, that takes a lot of experience and competency, like only 5% of programmer could do it, the company has quality! (creating websites with quality is incredibly hard, anyone can create sites, but to create with quality is another level, because everything is so crappy, every fucking thing, the tools, the code, 99% of npm, no wonder most sites are crappy)
So you didn't like the irony?
That multi material device is awesome. It must cost a small fortune.
Looks like a great pairing!
That splicer is amazing!
5:24 8:15 Little British Monitors?
That multi material slicer looks the business!! Maybe i'll be able to afford one in about 10 years :P
This Mosaic hardware are awesome!
Word on the street is there might be a replacement mainboard for the cetus that allows non custom software and selecting your own slicer
Word on the street is that such a board is inside a DHL Express vehicle on its way to me right now
@@reps Any update on this? Is there a problem with that, otherwise I would also order a tinyFab board?
Why is Jarl Balgruff the Greater playing with 3D printers? Don't you have dragons to slay?
Your dry German sense of humor is hilarious.
I wish you good luck to try and bond different materials together....
Just like all machines with moving parts check if parts are moving that are not supposed to move
We've Been Rickrolled, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been Quite Possibly, Bamboozled
why can't the designers of the palette incorporate the users own gcode into the purge so that the plastic is not wasted?
Man i wish i could get home in six clicks
Wow! I tip my hat to the guys/girls that designed the splicer! NICE!
Can you show us the calibration method?
It's just printing the gcode file and entering the 2 numbers into the software (unless you screw up like me and wildly change other settings before :)
@@reps So you print a line and note the distance that material change happens or something? At first I imagined timing with a stop-watch between splicer operation and coming out the extruder nozzle!
I struggle to understand how they get it accurate.
That is incredibly cool.
This is a great presentation, subscribed!
How to leveling the bed?
You need a bmg dual drive extruder, or clone of same
13:35 printer isn't powered?
Hmm can you print different materials on each other with that Mosaic - make composite materials? (Flexible + non-flexible fillaments.) And what about those soluble support filaments?
I have a Pallete 2 on order. I'm with you it's about the coolest 3D printer toy since 3D printers. Still a drag about the purge block though. Wasteful.
Hey what is the make and model of that tiny silver electric screwdriver you use? Thanks!
My wooden Makerbot Replicator is still going strong. Who would have figured?
STOP teasing me with your fancy screwdriver I can't afford it xD
Thank you marco, very cool
can you tell me the dimensions of the base with the upright removed? like just the box?
Hahaha who'd of thunked it, ................a tech head with a sense of humour, nice one, made me chuckle ;-)
6:07 One day soon this will be done
In the begining: witch song is that?
Hi marco; as someone who shares your interest in technical prints, and accuracy under 1mm; have you done any calibration prints on the new cetus? Or what are your general impressions? Id like to buy the most dimensionally precise consumer 3d printer; I suppose anything under 10-20mu is probably up to chance given backlash and lack of closed loop control, but I think those levels should be achievable with decent components. Do you think the cetus comes close to that in practice; or does it have the usual 100mu-YOLO factors in all possible aspects?
Palette build on MEGA2560 and RAMPS 1.4 ?
so you'd suggest the mk3?
But can you slap a filament mixing extruder on a Cetus?
Lock tight on plastic? I believe that's a no-no
Are they still selling the UP Plus ? Dont get me wrong its a bloody fantastic workhorse of a printer..... but still its OOOOoooolllllddd
Hey Marco you just convinced me to get a MK2 for christmas (I could of gotten the MK3 but i didn't realize it was actually avalible yet as the website said product page will come soon but it'll be a mess canceling and re ordering....) Is there anything I should know/do first hand for it to make sure it lasts? I don't have a heated platform yet but it's on the list. Current first project is a spool holder off thingiverse and I know to preheat the build platform with a hairdryer or heatgun on low to reduce warping problems (Especially as I live in a 4.44-10c room). I hear a Z-axis stabilize is good for tall prints and I found a filament cleaner which is good as we burn wood here which causes alot of soot and dust.
When calibrating the platform with a piece of paper, they tell you to aim for a noticeable drag on the paper - I'd go exactly one click further away from the platform at first, to avoid too much wear on the coating
@@reps I see so I'm aiming for the paper being hard to move and then back off one setting. Anything else I should keep in mind as well as am I able to use the trinamic stepper drive chip you showcased in your eleksmaker laser engraver video? There are quite a few features I'd like.
@@taliakuznetsova7092 Trinamic not easily! You could desolder the on board driver chips and bodge a Trinamic board in there, but it isn't seamless sadly. If I'm not happy with the open source controller Tiertime wants to release soon, I am going to switch to a Duet 2 WiFi or something like that
@@reps I see. The open source controller is going to be interesting as the mk1 and 2 gets it first. Which nozzle do you use for most prints? 0.2mm of course is precision but what about general prints where tolerances aren't important like spool holders.
What hi-fi audio system do you use?
5:45 Dave, is that you?
7:04 Yep, trinamic all the way...
Screwdriver link broke.
Marco, have you ever been able to print with the 2mm nozzle with the cetus before ??
6th worst noise? The t being pronounced in fasteners.
You can't blame him, he is german 😂 (I am from Germany too)
@@majofi2879 i love how even youtube thinks he speaks german. : )
Man. I’m really taken by that little screwdriver. Probably been asked before but what’s it called? If you see this. You gained a new sub today. Thank you for great video quality!
Shit. Never mind. I just checked the description XD
What is your awesome electric screwdriver?
Wonderful video!
I got rick rolled! Again!
Don't worry, Applied Science rolled me yesterday so it's two days in a row for me. 😊
@@pekkasaarinen2902 Same!
Being Rick Rolled only counts if a link ends up being something it says it is not and then plays the full Rick Ashley video. A tiny clip in both these situations does not count. By these definitions, if I heard it on the radio I would be Rick Rolled.
@@stevewalston7089 Finally a person who can intellectually define Rick Rolling as a concrete, literal thing instead of of an idiom. Or maybe not.
Duuuuude can't you get the splicer to put out truecolor? Just think about inkjet printers: CMYK.. For "K" you could just use black or white
2:52 i do hate that happened 5 minutes agoo
I found your easter-egg! At 9:00 the switch in off-position next to the bright LED!
what micro controller does it use?
also endstop at the top is so weird. this printer is so weird
4 years later, still no sign of a new intro🤣
How do you get your own gcode onto the printer
Nice, thanks for sharing😀👍
Also die druckqualität finde ich nicht so berauschend für so einen preis muss ich gestehen. Und dafür dass der drucker linear schienen hat, ist das echt schlecht. Da stimmt irgendwas nicht mit den Einstellungen bei deinem Gerät. Die Schichten dürften nicht so verschoben sein wie bei deinem Gerät. Wenn das normal ist, finde ich das echt total überteuert.
where can you download replacement parts
Amazing video!
I want your screwdriver!! Where!!
Soak the belts in 303 protectant
where did you get the STL files for the Z axis guide??? I have problems with mine as well, and I would like to print a replacement part. but I can't find it on thingiverse, and also not on the cetus website
www.cetus3d.com/forums/topic/cetus-printable-parts-includes-cetus-mki-mkii-and-calibration-model/
@@reps awesome :) thank you :)
5 filaments would be required for full color, right? CMYK+W?
It doesn’t blend, it switches.
Thumbs Up, But not for the MERCH..
what is the screwdriver????
I think ES120
What's the screw driver you use?
Air sample!!
what kind of screw driver is that?
Finished the video now i can go to bed.
Alexandru Gheorghiu where you livin?
Sounds very Romanian ... I think my family used to have a castle over there a few centuries ago
@@dmitriyzubkov5932 Marco is correct. I am from Romania.
@@reps From what material is the coating of the platform. Can it be re-coated so to speak?
@@AlexandruGheorghiu Nobody knows for sure, it is a thermoplastic that gets soft when warm. It can certainly be cleaned off with acetone and then a Buildtak or similar layer could be applied. For my worn out plate I've just bought a completely new one for 12 bucks
I don't.. That Cetus print quality is garbage. If I make my i3 mk3 print in the lowest possible quality the prints still look better than that. While we're on the Prusa train that splicer - whilst very cool - bit over-engineered maybe?
The print quality did look like it's lacking. Although the hardware suggests that is should print just fine. Possibly bad slicer settings. The Ender 3 is doing really well right now for an affordable printer
i was going to say the same... not the best
He was using the mosaic slicer and guessed at certain settings. So i blame the slicer he used for the multi material print. I have both a cetus mk2 and a prusa i3 mk2.5. The cetus print quality is exceptional. The software is just much more limiting vs the prusa though.
Yeah the splicer appears a bit extreme, until you consider for a moment how many hurtles they must of overcome. They didn't just sit there and go "huh I bet we could throw in a complicated synchronizing pinging procedure in the gerber files, and then watch for it with the feed rate sensor, you know, just for the lolz" lmfao obviously each and every one of those "over engineered" expensive improvements were tweaks made bc otherwise the damn thing just wouldn't work! Basically it comes down to the universal nature of the device, they probably could build a much simpler model for a specific printer, but in order to work with any printer you need the flexibility (since 3d printers are still so horrendously finicky things by themselves).
Don't get me wrong it's cool as f and has obvious benefits over say Prusa's MMU (filament usage blatantly being one of them, even with purge block as infill) but losing benefits like being able to use completely different materials I suspect - it's just so unnecessarily overkill is all. If it could do something like completely arbitrarily *mix* filaments then we'd be on to something =)
Cetus printers have one big problem IMO. A proprietary slicer. I was going to buy their new MK3 after your videos but the slicer really puts me off. Did you get it working with something else? Mechanically they are sexy as hell I have to give them that.
You can feed them g-code. There is open-source linux software to feed the printer, but you need to supply the build plate leveling offsets manually as it didn't work with storing them or offering a nice way to calibrate it, last I checked.
So the mosaic doesn't suck? It still needs a pure block right?
There is an option that allows using infill material as purge block, which is one of the many points I haven't had time to talk about this time ... More would be soluble and conductive filaments
Without a lcd screen how does one operate it?
Without touchscreen it's basically unusable....
Seriously I'm considering to buy a cheap printer to be part of a community that is more like the computer community 35 years ago.
Computer owners of today are totally helpless.
My first love in second class of elemtary school was considered not the smartest one, yet she was able to operate a C64 via commmandline.
If you ask a people who professionally work on a pc today , about their filesystem, drivers, IPadress, Windows version, resolution and colordepths or anything about their main tool, they know nothing at all about it, the existence of a commandline is arcane magic to them.
There have been stupid secretaries 40 years a ago who understood more about their computer than young office workers of today. Everything is dumbed down. No one understands what happens inside the machine.
I think 3d printers are way more of an open system , with a community that is way more interested on the "how things work" and not only that things work.
Neat, a new video
What is that Screw driver?
I can't seem to get the coupon code to work. Am I doing something wrong?
Edit: oh i just noticed your edit
Updated
Nice. I was thinking this could be a cool upgrade from the FlashForge Finder, which is a ridiculously huge printer compared to its small print volume.
Where is the old keithley? I thought that would be on top...
Which one? On top of what? Analog electrometer: Gone. 2 Channel digital electrometer: Gone. Nixie Tube Multimeter: Gone. My bench would break down if I kept everything forever
@@reps I thought about the Keithley 619 for the least favorite sounds... The hoarding tendencies have been overcome!
ah I get it now, wp
Heyyyy, new video
Yay
