Elegoo, a rapidly expanding leader in smart manufacturing, has officially opened pre-orders for its first Core-XY 3D printer, the Centauri Carbon. Engineered for precision, reliability, and high-speed printing, this next-generation printer is designed to meet the needs of hobbyists, professionals, and makers alike. Priced at $299.99, the Centauri Carbon delivers high-performance capabilities at an accessible price, removing barriers to innovation.
Breakthrough in 3D Printing: A New Standard in Speed and Stability
Unlike traditional Cartesian printers, the Centauri Carbon is built with a fully enclosed, die-cast metal frame for enhanced stability, safety, and temperature control. Its sleek space-gray design offers both aesthetics and functionality, making it a standout addition to any workspace.
With a build volume of 256 × 256 × 256 mm, the printer achieves printing speeds of up to 500mm/s with acceleration of 20,000 mm/s², dramatically reducing production time. The 1,000W AC heated bed (for 220V regions) quickly reaches optimal temperatures, eliminating long preheating times. Internal testing by Elegoo indicates that users can produce a custom smartphone stand in approximately 30 minutes.
“The Centauri Carbon represents a breakthrough in consumer 3D printing, said Chris Hong, CEO of Elegoo. We’ve designed this printer to be fast, reliable, and easy to use, allowing more people to explore their creativity without technical limitations.”
High-Temperature Printing for Advanced Materials
The Centauri Carbon supports a wide range of filaments, including PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA, and carbon-fiber-infused materials. Its 320°C nozzle and 60W ceramic heater ensure fast and even heat distribution, enabling high-temperature printing with superior detail and durability.
The enclosed build chamber enhances temperature stability, improving print strength while Vibration Compensation and Pressure Advance Compensation ensure smooth, ripple-free prints. The dual-sided PEI-coated magnetic build plate allows for easy part removal and reduces warping.
Smart Features for Seamless Workflow
Elegoo has designed the Centauri Carbon with a focus on ease of use. Its auto bed leveling system, powered by four precision pressure sensors and an advanced algorithm, ensures a perfect first layer with one-click calibration. Automatic Z-axis compensation corrects uneven surfaces, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
The intuitive 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, Wi-Fi & USB connectivity, and built-in camera allow users to monitor and control prints remotely. Additional features include silent stepper drivers for quiet operation, an LED-lit print chamber, a filament waste bin, and a silicone nozzle cleaning brush for a cleaner and more efficient printing process.
Open-Source Compatibility & Future-Proofing
Elegoo embraces open-source development, ensuring seamless integration with third-party slicing software. The ElegooSlicer, built on Orca Slicer, allows for community-driven customization. For Orca Slicer users, the Centauri Carbon profile can be manually added, with official integration expected in the next software update.
With 8GB of internal storage, OTA firmware updates, and an advanced high-speed motherboard, the Centauri Carbon is a future-proof investment for anyone looking to push the boundaries of 3D printing technology.
Pre-Order Now
The Elegoo Centauri Carbon is now available for pre-order, be among the first to experience the next evolution of Core-XY 3D printing.
