Elegoo Set to Launch Pre-Orders for the Centauri Carbon 3D Printer on February 17
Elegoo, a quickly growing brand in the global smart manufacturing sector, is poised to make a significant impact on the 3D printing world with the launch of its latest product, the Centauri Carbon. Set to open for pre-orders on February 17 at 9 AM EST, this innovative printer marks Elegoo's first venture into the CoreXY printing technology, promising users an unprecedented level of speed and reliability.
The Centauri Carbon comes with an impressive print volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm, allowing for detailed creations from home or professional environments. The printer's closed-frame design, featuring rounded corners, ensures safety for households with children and pets, consolidating its appeal for family use. Users can also enjoy the convenience of a no-assembly-required setup, enabling immediate printing upon unpacking. In addition, its built-in filter actively removes harmful gases during printing, promoting a healthier workspace.
Constructed with an automotive-quality die-cast frame supported by four aluminum alloy pillars and stainless steel side panels, the Centauri Carbon guarantees stability and exceptional print quality. Designed to accommodate a range of materials, including carbon fiber-infused filaments, this printer can handle various tasks that require durability and lightweight characteristics. The flexible magnetic bed features dual surfaces tailored for different filament types, while the heated bed only requires a low temperature to ensure adhesion and reduce warping.
Capable of print speeds up to 500 mm/s and an impressive acceleration of 20,000 mm/s², the Centauri Carbon positions itself as a high-performance desktop option. According to reports from the Elegoo Lab, it can successfully produce a customizable smartphone holder in as little as 30 minutes. To guarantee a perfect first layer—a critical factor for successful 3D printing—the device includes an automated leveling system supported by four pressure sensors, thus eliminating the common manual leveling hassles.
The printer operates on Elegoo’s proprietary operating system enhanced by custom firmware, which not only maintains security but also elevates performance. Users will appreciate the advanced slicing features available via the Elegoo Slicer software, which is frequently updated to optimize parameters. Furthermore, the printer allows wireless connectivity for remote printing capabilities, significantly increasing workflow efficiency.
Noteworthy features also include a time-lapse function that captures the entire printing process and a monitoring system with integrated LED lighting for enhanced visibility, particularly during low-light conditions. For user engagement, the Centauri Carbon is equipped with a responsive 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen interface that simplifies navigation and enhances the user experience.
To combat printing vibrations, the system utilizes an accelerometer for vibration compensation and pressure advance optimization, ensuring smoother extrusion and reducing surface imperfections.
For further details, including specifications and pricing, interested users are encouraged to subscribe to Elegoo’s email updates on their official website as the pre-order date approaches. The Centauri Carbon presents an exciting opportunity for both casual hobbyists and professionals looking for a reliable, high-speed 3D printing solution. This launch marks a pivotal shift in Elegoo’s offerings, historically recognized for their resin printers like the popular Saturn and Mars series, spotlighting their commitment to expanding into the FDM market.
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China—a technology hub often referred to as the Silicon Valley of China—Elegoo has quickly built a formidable presence in the smart manufacturing industry. With millions of sold units across 90 countries, the company generated over $200 million in total sales by 2024. Elevating consumer experiences through innovation, Elegoo continues to provide specialized technology to elevate a user’s creative journey.
For those seeking high reliability, affordability, and stunning speed combined with precision, the Centauri Carbon promises to deliver a transformative 3D printing experience unlike any other.
