I had been playing with Catfish for about a year. Yep, Catfish.Ĭatfish has morphed into UPStudio3 Beta (Soda) which I have been playing with on Cetus for about a week.
#Measure something in cetus3d software
After a few years, Tiertime released a software package called Catfish. They (and I) have constantly cried for far more user controllable software. Tiertime was ensuring the likelihood their printers would create good prints without too much user interference.īut power users want to make adjustments. This was so new users had fewer adjustments they could get wrong. UPStudio runs Cetus well but has a sparse selection of user controllable Parametrics. Tiertime eventually modified their UPStudio software to accommodate Cetus and the Cetus software went away. The big issue has been good slicer and machine control software. It’s a minimalist design but the parts are excellent, and it prints very well. No problem for me if they do want me to return it.Ĭetus is a nifty little 3D printer.
Better to give it away than to process the paperwork. Many things were far more expensive to return then they were worth. I was the Product Warranty manager for Lennox Industries. Probably more trouble to re-certify it is fully functional returned part. To “assume” makes an ASS out of U and ME, ergo ASSUME and pin the tail on me.Īpparently, Cecelia from the customer service is sending me the correct MB gratis, although I asked for a RMA to return the first one. Those are marketing identifications, not product model labels. There is no label on the printer indicating if any of them are MK1, MK2 or MK3. I assumed it was an original MK1 but I find out it is a MK2. It succumbed to a lightning strike and requires a brain transplant. Two are presently operational and I am working on getting the original (first Cetus) working.
Two American football fields side-by-side, now *including* the end zones = one hectare.Īll the above are slightly inaccurate, but are easy to measure, remember and intuit.I own three Cetus. A bit more relaxed pace and most can figure 30" exactly.Īn American football field, minus the end zones, is near an acre.
One dollar's worth of nickels weigh 100g, roughly one-quarer pound.Ī pint of water weighs a pound ("A pint's a pound the world around") 4% error.Īn average man, at a brisk marching pace, will have a stride very close to 32 inches (the Roman mile is derived from this = 1000 double paces = 5280 ft). As they wear they become dirty, maintaining almost precisely their initial weight (dope dealers count large amounts of cash by weighing it). 30 centimeters = one foot (1.5% error).Īn American bill, whether one dollar or 100 dollars, weighs precisely 1 gram. Ditto a normally dressed man, soaking wet. A heavily dressed man-with overcoat and gumboots, weighs 200 lbs. An average woman weighs 125 lbs, so average humans, in groups, weigh close to 150 lbs. An average man is 180 cm tall, and weighs the same, in pounds. 150 centimeters is 5', or the distance from the ground to your mouth if male, to your eyes if female. A few others if you like: For an average man (5'10") or woman (5'4"), one meter is very near the distance of your navel above the ground while standing barefoot (women are shorter than men, but have longer legs, so the navel is surprisingly stable).
