Trying to Choose a Printer. Cetus MK3 Standard Deluxe Edition vs Original Prusa Mini

[curious aardvark]

Hmm, not so sure.
The cetus is using linear rails AND a direct drive extruder as well as no 3d printed components.
If you can get the deluxe model for similiar price to the prusa, I'd be inclined to go with the cetus.
It's a more solidly built machine and linear rails have to be beter than belts and wheels.

Also you get a significantly taller build volume.
But make sure it's the deluxe extended version and not the bog standard.

Mind you looking at amazon - it's almost twice the cost of the prusa mini and for £600 you can probably get a prusa mk3 anyway.
Well no - the mk3 kit is £699.
I think for the price difference I'd have to go fr the prusa mini.
£600 should buy you awhole lot more printer than the cetus. But the engineering DOES look good on it.
I've never had any wire wear out on any of my machines, so no real comment on that aspect. They look okay to me :-)
