Hi, I am brand new to 3d printing and I think it’s something I’d like to get more into. The only issue is I have extremely limited space, and I travel for work.

I am wondering if there are any 3d printers that would be practical for this type of lifestyle. I was eyeballing the prusa mini +.

Are there any 3d printers that pack/travel well?

    They released the Cetus 2 (interesting printer) this year meaning they probably stopped the production on the Cetus 1. Tiertime must have shipped dozens of them as they are often available on the used market, which is not surprising as it is a great printer and they delivered a popular printer before with the Up mini (2013?; great for ABS on a budget back then).

    One aspect that sets the Cetus 1 apart from other budget printers is that it used high-quality parts for the motion system (e.g. genuine Gates GT2 belts and good linear rails). There are downsides to it like the belt z-axis dropping when powered down. In later revisions, they added a break for the z-axis to stop this.
