The Cetus MK3 is a compact 3D printer that boasts high precision and quality thanks to its linear rail based motion system. In this review I put it through its paces, testing a range of different style prints, filaments and nozzle sizes.

The point of contention for me is the proprietary software, which if working well could make the printer very beginner friendly. There are some quirks and gaps which once fixed, would make this a reliable workhorse.

The other issues are the print bed system, which feels very outdated compared to other printers, and the ringing/ghosting present on most of my prints (and the ones of the Tiertime website). There is an option to setup a custom material and slow everything down, but then you are avoiding one of the selling points of this printer in having everything pre-configured.

There's a lot this printer gets right, but are the sticking points too much for a potential customer to ignore when the Prusa Mini is on the horizon?

This printer was provided free of charge by Tiertime for the purpose of making this review. All opinions expressed are my own.
