Cetus2 Update<\/h2>\n

My last post was a brag that I won a free Cetus2 3D two color FDM printer. It was (is) a pre-production version that was actually used in China by developers for testing. It showed evidence of long hard use with a nozzle that was covered with considerable printing debris.<\/p>\n

But in the last two months it has proved to be very durable and perfectly fine in operation. I posted many printing examples in my Dimensional Print Studio<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n

It was not a replacement for the Production Cetus2 I have on purchase order. There have been many changes and improvements already announced in the production version.<\/p>\n

After midnight (this morning) I received an email from Tiertime in China saying my Cetus2 production unit is very close to shipping. It was a formal handoff from the KickStarter campaign to the process of delivering the production machine. <\/span><\/p>\n

No firm delivery date at this writing but proof the delivery gears are in motion. I was the 184th person to respond. The process requested a shipping address and an opportunity to order a set of spare print nozzles. (My pre-production machine has a non-replaceable nozzle.)<\/p>\n

I will soon have two Cetus2 printers. I must decide how to manage and create space for both. I will be switching to the production machine for certainty as my preferred operating version.<\/p>\n

I am strongly considering giving the first machine (gratis) to family or friends here in the Dallas, Texas area. But it needs to be someone motivated and a self learner enough to want to make use of it. <\/span><\/p>\n

I have the packing materials from the original delivery but would rather not face the task of full disassembly. Dallas locals can (and know how to) contact me <\/span>if interested. Or… leave a reply below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
