Cetus3D 3D Printer

No it seems OK as is. I printed it at maximum density.

Well at long last my Heated Bed arrived for the Cetus3D printer. First one got lost in the post, but they replaced it.
Fairly straightforward to fit once you deduce that there is only one possible orientation for it, that the coated bed supplied with the printer needs to go on top of it held in with longer screws, and that the ribbon cable supplied is way too long and the surplus has to be tucked away into the electronics box.
Rather than put a load of pictures up, I found this excellent video on YouTube explaining the fact that although it can be interally or externally powered, in fact there are two independent heating elements in the bed:

I've now successfully printed ABS - here is a picture of some ABS gear wheels that I made

Hey Andrew you've used underline tags instead of youtube tags for your video link.
BTW I have the same thermal camera adapter as him, plugs into my Android phone. I use it to freak out the kids by leaving thermal handprints on the wall :D

Well spotted that man - have a beer :beer:

Well I've just finished a mammoth print run on the Cetus 3D printer, which it coped with like a champ :thumbup:
For some time I've had a pair of 'desk-top' metal tool racks designed to take a variety of 'inserts' to hold differing shanks of tooling. As I got them each was equipped to take seven 4 Morse Taper tools. Although I do have 4MT drills, they already have a rack so I wanted to 're-purpose' these to take the VDI40 tooling for the Beaver TC20 CNC lathe.
So, steaming up Fusion 360 I took the basic shape of the 4MT holders, increased the size of the 'tool bore' to take VDI40, and the size of the upper platform to accommodate some of the larger tools, yet retained the mounting peg locations for actually fitting into the rack.
