Little Mama Cetus<\/p><\/div>\n

Sheee\u2019s Baaack!  Mama Cetus has been replaced courteous of my insurance. Original MamaCetus got fried in the lightning strike<\/a><\/strong>. Since the first was called \u201cMamaCetus<\/strong>\u201d and the second named \u201cBigMamaCetus<\/strong>\u201d (BMC) (as she was equipped with all the features), the new arrival has been dubbed \u201cLittleMamaCetus<\/strong>\u201d (LMC).<\/p>\n

LMC is nearly an exact copy of MamaCetus, a MK1 version. LMC is a MK3 basic and the only real difference is LMC has travel end switches rather than stepper motor stall “home” sensing. It has the original style extruder, which is good as I have a collection of new original nozzles.<\/p>\n

First print was a test square checking nozzle height setting and first \u201creal\u201d print had to be \u201cGrumpy Owl\u201d. That is what is being printed in the picture.<\/p>\n

Original MamaCetus could be repaired. For sure she needs all new electronics and a power supply. That\u2019s about $180 in repair parts. Assuming the steppers are OK. Also, much \u201cfiddling\u201d if anything else wrong.  The new LMC was only $70 more (on sale) and is all new and perfect working condition. Not a step up like BMC but a very nice exact replacement.<\/p>\n

I am happy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
