The Cetus 3D MK3 is the perfect entry point for makers who value a clean aesthetic without sacrificing industrial-grade performance. Built with a focus on “less is more,” this printer strips away the bulk of traditional machines to reveal a sleek, open-frame design that fits seamlessly on any desk.
Build Volume
180 x 180 x 180 mm
Filament Diameter
1.75 mm
Printing Speed
Up to 200 mm/s
Linear Rail Precision
Unlike many entry-level printers that use rubber wheels, the Cetus features high-qualitystainless steel linear railson all three axes. This ensures silky-smooth movement and incredible detail in every layer.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
The Cetus 3D MK3 removes the intimidation factor of 3D printing by arriving in just three pre-assembled modules, allowing you to go from unboxing to your first print in under 30 minutes. By eliminating the “bag of bolts” assembly typical of other kits, it offers a streamlined, tool-friendly setup where the internal electronics are already integrated and ready to go. Paired with the intuitive UP Studio software, the machine handles the complex calibration and slicing tasks for you, making it a true “out-of-the-box” solution for educators and hobbyists alike.
Quiet & Compact
Designed specifically for the modern workspace, the Cetus 3D features a minimalist cantilever frame that occupies a fraction of the space required by traditional, boxy printers. Its sleek, open-air design doesn’t just save desk real estate—it also houses upgraded silent motor drivers that reduce operational noise to a whisper. This makes it the ideal companion for home offices, classrooms, or studio apartments where you can work or sleep undisturbed while the machine precisely brings your ideas to life right next to you.
