Elegoo Centauri Carbon - FDM 3D Printer

The Centauri Carbon is a 3D printer designed for those who want to go beyond conventional materials and seek reliable, fast, and high-quality results. Designed by Elegoo and intended for ambitious projects, this printer combines technical performance, ease of use, and compatibility with advanced or reinforced materials. All with a solid structure, an efficient movement system, and an optimized printing experience from the first moment.

A Movement System That Makes a Difference

With a design based on CoreXY technology, the Centauri Carbon offers a precise and fast response in every movement. The dedicated stepper motors for each axis reduce inertia during movements, resulting in faster prints without loss of detail. This efficiency is complemented by an acceleration of up to 20,000 mm/s², a printing speed of 500 mm/s, and a build volume of 256 × 256 × 256 mm, features that allow printing complex models in less time and with uniform finishes.

Solid Structure for Stable Prints

The die-cast aluminum construction not only improves the external appearance of the equipment but is also key to maintaining stability during the printing process. Thanks to this robust design, vibrations are minimized, which favors precise layer placement even in large-volume or high-speed prints.

More Flow, Better Control

The combination of a 5.2:1 extrusion ratio and a flow rate of 32 mm³/s guarantees a constant and precise filament feed. This is especially useful when working with models that require many details or that need to remain firm as they are printed. It is no longer necessary to choose between speed and quality: now it is possible to have both.

Prepared for Demanding Materials

The Centauri Carbon is designed to work with technical filaments that require stricter printing conditions. Thanks to its hotend capable of reaching 320 °C, its 110 °C print bed, and a closed chamber that maintains a stable internal temperature, this printer can be used with reinforced materials such as filament with carbon fiber or heat-resistant composites. It is an ideal option for creating durable parts with excellent mechanical properties. This printer is also compatible with other materials such as PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, PET, PC, or PA.

Intelligent Cooling for Flawless Printing

A well-designed cooling system makes the difference between a good print and an excellent one. That's why the Centauri Carbon has high-performance fans that ensure a constant airflow in key areas, including an exclusive fan for the hotend. This helps prevent clogs, keeps the filament flow stable, and improves the finish of each layer.

An Immediately Responsive Print Bed

Thanks to the fast alternating current heating system, the printing surface reaches the appropriate temperature in a very short time. This shortens preparation times and allows printing to begin without long waits. In addition, the first layer adheres optimally, even with more complex filaments.

A Camera That Not Only Prints, But Also Observes

Monitoring the process in real-time becomes easier with the integrated camera inside the printing area. Whether to adjust parameters during printing or simply to follow the progress from another room, this function provides control, convenience, and confidence. Furthermore, thanks to the LED lighting and the option to generate timelapse videos, sharing the results is as easy as it is inspiring.

Automatic Calibration and Intelligent Adjustments

The Elegoo Centauri Carbon eliminates many of the repetitive tasks normally associated with 3D printing. The automatic calibration system adjusts the bed level, the nozzle distance, and the extrusion pressure without the need for manual intervention. In addition, it analyzes and compensates for possible vibrations so that the final result is clean, without imperfections, and with great fidelity to the original design.

A User Experience Designed for Printing, Not Configuring

With a 4.3-inch touch screen, fluid navigation, and intuitive menus, everything in the Centauri Carbon is designed to make printing as simple as possible. Features such as automatic filament loading, the filament run-out detection system, power outage recovery, and automatic fan check add an extra layer of peace of mind and efficiency.

Caring for Every Detail

The double-sided flexible build plate offers different surfaces for better adhesion, depending on the type of filament used. The nozzle wiper prevents residue before each print, and the side filament holder facilitates both loading and monitoring consumption. In addition, the silent operation below 50 dB and the built-in air filter allow the printer to be used comfortably in shared environments without causing disturbances.

A Safe Bet for Those Seeking More

The Elegoo Centauri Carbon combines advanced technology, ease of use, and compatibility with high-performance materials. It is a printer ready to accompany every stage of a creative project, from the idea to the final result. Its speed, precision, and reliability make it a smart choice for those looking to experience even more in the vast world of 3D printing.
