Centauri Carbon 2 Combo

I always recommend the same two printers for all beginners because they’re just great starting points without spending a lot of money ($300-400 USD range). They are easy to use and learn, have all the features/specs you need, and are just quality/reliable machines. For just basic single color printi

I would not buy any of them, paying >300$ in 2026 for an outdated not enclosed bedslinger while 100$ more gets you a fully enclosed coreXY which can print technically material up to 350⁰C is not a good idea. Compare your selection with this printer: https://de.elegoo.com/products/centauri-carbon-2-c

Hey there u/Pure-Act-7177 , I have the Centauri Carbon 2 but from my friend that has the CC1, we both had to calibrate our printers with our filament to get the best prints. For my machine I needed to make several changes - Print Temperature, Pressure Advance, and Flow. This got the layers looking m

Hey there u/Outrageous_Cut2782 I've been doing printing quite a long time and have seen some really bad printers back in the day (looking at you early Makerbots) and seen how far they've come along lately. I never owned the CC1 but I do own the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 and have been using it for a l

Seeing the rest of the post, I agree with the other comment that you are asking for the Multi Material Unit. There is a post that someone was able to load a bit of custom firmware and use a self built MMU in place of the elegoo one, but it does require quite a bit if work. Also, when elegoo released

I've been using an Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo, and the more I dig into the actual hardware and features, the more I think it belongs in the discussion for cheapest genuinely well-rounded 3D printer. I'm not saying it's the absolute best printer in every category. I'm saying there aren't many mac

$600 USD is a very reasonable budget. Look at the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2, Flashforge Adventurer, and Bambu Labs printers. Specific recommendations depend on what you want to do with your printer. For software, you'll need a slicer, which converts 3D model files into printer instructions. OrcaSlice

Avoid Bambu. Good printers, but the company sucks. Look at the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2. It's inexpensive and has some good features.

At this time, they haven't announced a version or variety without the Canvas system. I will say, when I use my CC2, the Canvas is really nice if you have left over spools of the same filament lying around. I have 3 printers and when I have something like a 1/3 left of a filament roll, I add them ont
