About

Well, here we go again. My name is Anicetus, and this is my second 3D printer design to date. The first flopped miserably, due to numerous issues in the design phase that either I overlooked or missed due to a lack of research.

Not this time.

This time, I'm making a real printer. Not just another mid ender 3 clone, this is something special. But let's start with the name, shall we? It's called the Anicept Cel. The first part is easy enough to explain--any dedicated hardware enthusiast should have a brand name. Anicept is a combination of Anicetus and concept, and I like how it feels. As for Cel, it's my newfound custom to name my printers with three-letter words. I took Cel from the Latin word celer, or "fast". Maybe that tells you a bit about what I was going for here.

That's right, this printer is made for speed. Everything about it, from the head to the feet (ha) was specifically bent on pure speed. Of course, I'm not an infinite money generator, so I had limits. But not that many limits.
