Elegoo Launches Pre-Orders for the Centauri Carbon 3D Printer

In an exciting announcement made on February 6, 2025, Elegoo, a rapidly growing name in the global smart manufacturing industry, revealed that it will commence pre-orders for its highly anticipated Centauri Carbon printer. This advanced device, which marks Elegoo's first foray into the CoreXY FDM 3D printing world, will be available for pre-order starting 9 AM EST on February 17. Along with the Centauri Carbon, the base model of the Centauri series will also be unveiled on that date.

A New Era in 3D Printing

The Centauri Carbon is designed to provide users with an unparalleled experience, featuring enhanced speed and reliability tailored for both novices and seasoned professionals across various industries. The printer boasts an impressive build volume of 256 × 256 × 256 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of printing projects. Unlike other open-frame models, the Centauri Carbon comes with a closed structure that incorporates rounded corners, ensuring a safer environment for families with children and pets. The plug-and-play design allows users to print right out of the box, enhancing convenience for all skill levels.

Safety and Accessibility Features

Elegoo has embedded a host of features aimed at making the Centauri Carbon safe and user-friendly. An integrated air filter works to eliminate harmful gases during the printing process, promoting a healthier environment. The filament holder located conveniently on the right side aids accessibility, while dual glass panels allow users to monitor ongoing prints closely.

Constructed with a durable automotive-grade pressure-molded frame, strengthened by four aluminum alloy pillars and stainless steel side panels, the Centauri Carbon ensures exceptional stability and print quality. The hardened nozzles are designed to handle carbon fiber and other abrasive materials, catering to the growing demand for robust and lightweight prints. Furthermore, the printer supports a wide array of materials such as ABS, ASA, PLA, PETG, and TPU, making it versatile for diverse applications.

Impressive Speed and Quality

The standout feature of the Centauri Carbon is its remarkable printing speed, capable of reaching up to 500 mm/s with acceleration up to 20,000 mm/s². According to Elegoo Lab, users can expect to produce a custom smartphone holder in just 30 minutes, showcasing the printer’s efficiency. Equipped with four pressure sensors and a proprietary algorithm, the heated bed simplifies leveling with a single click, while the automatic Z-axis compensation corrects uneven surfaces, ensuring a perfect first layer crucial for successful prints, effectively preventing issues such as warping or curling.

An Uninterrupted Printing Experience

Additional features further enhance the Centauri Carbon’s print capabilities:

• - Custom Firmware: Operates on Elegoo's proprietary operating system, ensuring top-notch security and performance.
• - Wi-Fi Support: Offers features for remote printing through the Elegoo Slicer software, based on Orca Slicer, with regularly updated optimized settings.
• - Time-Lapse and Monitoring Capabilities: Users can record their entire printing process and monitor real-time progress.
• - Integrated Chamber Lighting: The internal LED lighting provides clear visibility of the print area, even in low-light conditions.
• - 4.3-inch Capacitive Touch Screen: A dynamic touchscreen that streamlines navigation for an enhanced user experience.
• - Vibration and Pressure Advance Compensation: An accelerometer helps compensate for vibrations, while optimized pressure advance ensures smooth extrusion, minimizing model ripples.

For those interested in learning more about specifications, pricing, or additional details, they can sign up via email on Elegoo's official site to receive updates leading up to the February 17 launch. With its reliability, affordability, impressive speed, and high precision, the Centauri Carbon appears poised to revolutionize the FDM 3D printer market. While Elegoo is well-known for its resin printers, such as the popular Saturn and Mars series, the Centauri Carbon is expected to pave a new path in the company’s FDM offerings.
