Elegoo Launches Pre-Orders for Centauri Carbon: A Revolution in CoreXY 3D Printing
Elegoo, a rapidly advancing brand in global smart manufacturing, has officially announced the opening of pre-orders for its anticipated 3D printer, the Centauri Carbon. Scheduled to begin on February 17, 2025, at 9 AM EST, this innovative printer represents a significant step forward from Elegoo’s previous offerings in the FDM market, particularly the Neptune series. The Centauri Carbon is designed with both novices and professionals in mind, promising reliable and faster performance across various applications.
User-Friendly and Reliable Design
The Centauri Carbon features a spacious print volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm, effectively converting any workspace into a creative hub. Unlike traditional open-frame printers, this model boasts a family-friendly design complete with rounded corners and an enclosed structure, ensuring safety for homes with children or pets. This printer eliminates the hassle of assembly, allowing users to start printing right out of the box. Additionally, it includes a built-in filter that removes harmful gases released during printing, contributing to a healthier environment. Accessibility is enhanced with a filament holder located conveniently on the right side and dual glass panels that provide an unobstructed view of the printing process.
The robust design of the Centauri Carbon incorporates a pressure-cast aluminum frame, reinforced with four aluminum alloy pillars and stainless steel side panels, ensuring exceptional stability and print quality. The machine features hardened nozzles capable of handling carbon fiber and other abrasive materials, thereby meeting the rising demand for lightweight and strong prints. In addition to supporting PLA-CF, it works with various materials, including ABS, ASA, PLA, PETG, and TPU. The flexible, dual-sided magnetic plate offers a PLA-specific surface on one side and a textured PEI surface on the other, optimizing adhesion during printing. With a safety threshold of just 30°C for PLA prints, the design minimizes warping and simplifies print removal.
High-Speed Printing without Compromise
The Centauri Carbon achieves remarkable printing speeds of up to 500 mm/s, with an acceleration of 20,000 mm/s². According to the Elegoo Lab, users can print a customized smartphone stand in just 30 minutes. Thanks to four integrated sensors and proprietary algorithms, the heated bed simplifies leveling with a single click. The automatic Z-axis compensation adjusts for any unevenness, ensuring an immaculate first layer—crucial for minimizing issues like warping or curling that can ruin a print.
Enhanced Features for a Seamless Experience
This printer not only prioritizes performance but also user experience with a range of thoughtful features. It operates on Elegoo's custom firmware and supports advanced slicing capabilities via Elegoo Slicer—a tool built on the Orca Slicer. Regular updates ensure optimized printing parameters. Additionally, the Wi-Fi connectivity enables remote printing for greater convenience. Users can enjoy real-time monitoring of the printing process with a feature allowing time-lapse recording of prints.
Inside the chamber, built-in LED lighting enhances visibility, making monitoring easy even in low-light conditions. The Centauri Carbon is equipped with a capacitive 4.3-inch touchscreen, offering an intuitive interface for navigating settings and print modes, thus improving overall usability. To counteract vibrations, it includes an acceleration sensor for enhanced stability and optimized extrusion quality, reducing the occurrence of model waves.
To receive complete technical specifications, pricing, and updates, interested customers can subscribe via the official Elegoo website starting February 17. With its reliability, competitive pricing, and exceptional speed and precision, the Centauri Carbon is poised to transform the landscape of CoreXY FDM 3D printers significantly.
