The ELEGOO Centauri Carbon is a compact, enclosed high-speed CoreXY FDM 3D printer, aimed particularly at users who want fast printing and carbon-fiber/engineering materials.
Key features
What makes it interesting
1. Very fast CoreXY system
It can reach 500 mm/s with up to 20,000 mm/s² acceleration. The 32 mm³/s extrusion flow rate is designed to actually feed material at high speeds rather than simply moving the print head quickly.
2. Designed for carbon-fiber filament
The hardened-steel nozzle and 320°C hotendallow it to handle abrasive reinforced filaments such as PLA-CF, as well as PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS and ASA.
3. Fully enclosed chamber
The enclosure helps maintain a more stable printing environment for materials such as ABS/ASA and reduces warping compared with an open-frame printer.
4. Automatic calibration
It automatically handles:
- Bed leveling
- Z-offset
- Vibration compensation
- Pressure advance
So it is much closer to a "take it out and print" experience than a traditional DIY-style printer.
5. Built-in camera
The chamber camera provides live monitoring and time-lapse recording, with LED lighting inside the enclosure.
6. Useful reliability features
- Filament run-out detection
- Automatic filament unloading
- Power-loss recovery
- Fan self-check
- Nozzle wiping before leveling
- Semi-automatic belt tensioning
