I HATED my Cetus - Now I ❤ it! Mellow FLY RepRapFirmware conversion

Over time my cetus motors got hotter and hotter during operation, eventually chewing filament after the raft without fail. They should just ditch the proprietary stuff, the market won't tolerate that anymore.

Did a very similar mod with a colleague's DaVinci 3D printer, and he was SO glad to be finally able to use open source software, any slicer and any filament he wanted.

[@LordHonkInc]

This is one of the things I love about 3D printing as a tinkerers' hobby, the mechanical principles are comparatively simple (if you got four motors and parts for those motors to move, you've got the basics) and the software side is so open that you can get pretty much everything that can command stepper motors and relays to run gcode. (I'm oversimplifying a bit, but really, for something that creates physical objects, 3D printers are incredibly easy to understand even for idiots like myself. Like, for comparison I don't think building your own injection molding machine is anywhere near as simple.) I got into things with the Ender3, and after tinkering with it for two years I think the only stock components that remain are the aluminium frame and motors xD

[@urano1988]

What a coincidence! A week ago I completed the electronics conversion of my MK2. I did it with an arduino mega + ramps 1.6 + TMC 2130 + raspberry PI 3 so that I could go with klipper. I didn't want to replace the very cool PT100 thermocouple for a shitty thermistor, so I went for a max31865 SPI adapter board. I also upped the voltage to 24 V as running the heating cartridge at the standard 19V was a pain. Now it is a pretty amazing machine!

[@inoahmann7542]

I did something very similar on my MK1 last week too. Lol. I used an mks robin nano v3 with tmc 2209 drivers. It's got a touch screen and wifi but the screen is too big to mount anywhere on the cetus. What power supply did you go with? My heated bed is super weak on 19v. It draws 30w. I did the math and going to 24v should get it closer to 60w. Unfortunately, I did have to ditch the pt100 because it failed and I opted to replace the entire extruder/hotend. I ended up going with the kp3s titan extruder. It performs great and now I just use standard mk8 nozzles. Last night I put a 3d touch on it, so no more frustrating warped build plate.

[@urano1988]

@@inoahmann7542 For the time being I am running it from my lab bench PSU and I have a step down converter for the RPI, Arduino and fan. With everything powered it draws about 3.2~3.5 A @ 24 V so I was thinking about getting an EPP-120S-24 PSU, which has a very small footprint. There are also more powerful (but larger) versions if you want to plug the heating bed.

[@inoahmann7542]

@@urano1988 thanks! I think I'll go with that same power supply. Maybe a slightly bigger one if I can still fit it in my electronics enclosure. If I need to I can limit the power to my hotend and bed to stay under the 120w limit.

[@sealightube333]

I currently upgrading my Cetus MKII and MKIII I replace the Cetus extruder to BIQU H2 extruder. I also replace the TinyFab MCU/mainboard to Melow FLY RRF E3 Pro with the integrated max31865 SPI PT100 IC. And because of the shorter heater cartridge for BIQU H2 extruder I use a Mellow 24V 70W heater, and increase the voltage from 19V to 24V. And I will also design an extra PCB for the PSU connector and for the Z axes hardware break by a relay. This feature is on the MKIII mainboard and also designed in the TinyFab mainboards as well.

Thanks for this video. Nice to see theat you transformed your Cetus into a good machine. I use a Fly 3 pro on my Ender 3v2. Ik like it a lot. No more recompilations of the firmware when I do a slight modification of the hardware. No extra Raspberry with Octoprint which doubles the amount of complications. I love this solution. Please remember to change the gcode dialect in your favourite slicer from Marlin to Reprap. ;)

[@dangerous8333]

Does it work with a BL touch or CR touch? As I learned more about my E3 V2 I realized I can turn it into a really nice printer instead of buying a different one. My CR touch and Jyers firmware is a joy. I like the options this fly 3 adds. I'm also a minimalist. Any hardware I can install that will do the work of multiple pieces of hardware, I'm all for.

Original cetus circuit board had a vase gcode bug. I think they implemented vase as delta Z moves but the firmware math truncated the remainders. Now running duet and happy. A good mod is a 1kg force linear spring ($8-20) to counterbalance Z weight which eliminates the Z stepper brake and prevents the nozzle from crashing into my heated glass bed with no AC power..

Haven't tried the fly boards myself but I'm on the Mellow discord server and there's tons of good-spirit community activity and _very_ active engagement from Mellow themselves on these fly boards, troubleshooting, iterative improvements and custom versions etc. So I wouldn't worry about these boards getting deprecated anytime soon, their adoptation is likely gonna spread, along with more firmware development and new forks. I'm not too big on speaking about these kinds of companies, I find they often disappoint in some way. But I gotta be honest - Mellow's community engagement and openness to community feedback and suggestions has me softening a bit. They even have a dedicated discord channel for suggestions 😊 And funnily enough, my last two suggestions pretty much both got the same replies (within roughly 20 minutes): "already in design" and "already in development".

Will you consider reviewing the Phaetus (or rebranded as Trianglelabs) _'Rapido'_ UHF hotend? It's a high-volume, quality workmanship, mostly nickel-plated copper unit with strong construction and a (up to) 115 watt ceramic heater, that give even the Mosquito Magnum Plus and Supervolcano a run for their money. And it does so while still using the regular M6 reprap/V6 nozzles we already have, or optionally regular Volcano nozzles. Slap a large CHT or Matchless nozzle on that puppy and it might just pass 100mm^3/s. For $99. I believe the... "contentious" (?) aspects are more than different enough that this one goes clear of Slice's and E3D's patents.

[@Hotcubcar]

I finally got a new 32 bit board to replace a 6 year old 8 bit one, and I didn't think it was actually possible for my machine to be this quiet.

[@Kalvinjj]

I had a reverse experience at work. When I built my machine, I built it from the ground up with TMC2208s, and later upgraded to closed loop steppers (the BTT NEMA 17s, great stuff). They're really quiet, became a "silent but the fans" printer. No money for Noctuas here. Then at work I was tasked to revive an old small CNC router, and found an Arduino Mega + RAMPS 1.4 setup with the classic A4988s there that I could use, and heck that thing screams, I had no idea they were that loud normally.

[@mvadu]

Awesome.. This is a great video.. I currently have a smoothie board running my Cetus. But I will try this one soon.. BTW the original cetus heater block uses Pt100 as temp sensor. The pro version has a variant supporting pt100 so chose that if you don't want to switch original temp sensor

The PCB design isn't a whole lot of work, tbh. As Peter says above, RRF is the real star here. The time invested into RRF development will probably be hundreds of times that of the Mellow PCB - which is why it's a bit of a shame that the RRF devs likely aren't supported by purchases of these boards...

[@JakeBarger]

@@CNCKitchen haha worth it since it sums up the community pretty well. Hopefully I don't come across as a 'but klipper' person, but I'm genuinely interested in your opinion given your knowledge of 3d printing. From my comparison standpoint, and considering I have several printers running RRF and several with Klipper, I think I prefer klipper slightly more for two reasons: 1. The first and foremost being that I'm a software developer, and so have command-line access where I can deploy scripts and modify any components as I see fit. This is a bit harder with duet. 2. The second being the actual hardware of the Pi being high quality. I have had many issues with the wifi reception with the stock duet antenna and even using add-on antennas. I sometimes send extremely large files and so this can be a pain, whereas the raspberry pi 4 even supports wifi 6, so it caters well to my impatience. In summary they are both great with slight differences, duet is more user friendly, and klipper more configurable. Almost like macOS vs Linux.

[@jayphone1]

I have a Cetus MK1. This was my first really functioning 3d printer. (After the Buccaneer from Pirate3D with which I only did 2 prints and then it died. And I believe it even arrived later although backed earlier on Kickstarter.) I am thinking about modifying my Cetus as well because it was a little neat machine, but I am a little afraid that getting to learn all the new stuff about the board and the software driving it will take me too much time.

If it's not your only machine, it's a great learning opportunity, though it will require some time and skill.

I didn't like their firmware and also the stepper drivers were soldered on the main board. That was a deal breaker for me. So I replaced their board.

[@JasonZnack]

The main difference between marlin and Reprap is that Marlin requires recompiling the firmware to make changes to your settings but with reprap you can edit a plain text file and have it change right then and there. There's a lot of other features as well, but on a day to day basis that's probably the main thing.

My Cetus Mk2 is my printer in the corner.

Hi, i got an UpBox+ and i want to do a board swap with a bigtreetech... I want to use a proper slicer, gcodes, add a screen and a card reader and even change the extruder assembly because i hate the tiertime's as it is... Can someone give me some hints?

[@steveclark3379]

it would seem that both boards are no longer available 😕

[@Woyta]

Than fan connection to 5v rail is not a good idea. It could kill board. You dont want to have 19v on 5v rail. I would recomend revision of adapter board with DC-DC converter and mosfet controled by fan output of board.

@Stefan du solltest deinen mk3s definitiv auch auf rrf upgraden ;) scheiß auf das Rambo-Board, hau ein duet rein und das Teil performed wie kein anderes und du hast die DWC ;)

[@TotallyNotNuclear]

Is Cetus a brand or a model?

[@MrBlackmidi1234567890987654321]

sub brand of tiertime

[@sheldonbell190]

Would this board conversion work on a JG Aurora A5S? The main board for mine broke and I was wanting to replace it with a more feature rich one.

[@CNCKitchen]

It should work, only the screen might be an issue.

It's mainly the interfaces for me. Mainsail is just.....Beautiful

4:29 best of the video , its a great video and information thanks

[@superbrain3848]

im quite happy with my Duet 3 Mini 5+, replaced the stock Mainboard in the Sidewinder x1 with it and got now quite a lot of prints done.

[@4funrc11]

Hmm... Wondering if this could work on my old original CR-10? 😒

[@CNCKitchen]

Yes, should be compatible with the CR-10.

[@varazir]

a "JLCPCB " request, I'm looking to mod my old printer ( wanaho i3 v2.1 12v SKR 1.3 upgraded and with BLTouch ) with break out board so I just have one cable between the extruder and the main board. So a generic video on how to set something like that up.

[@boryshacker]

Any links for the extruder stepper mod?

hey btw it doesn't hurt if people got the 192.168. ... IP adress as that's a local only adress on your router, so someone would need to get on your internet to make use of that
