Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 – FDM 3D Printer

Pre-order available. Estimated delivery starting from February 2026.

After the resounding success of the original series, the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 arrives to redefine the limits of desktop 3D printing. Elegoo presents its most ambitious machine to date, equipped with improvements that truly make a difference. This evolution not only maintains the brand’s characteristic speed and robustness, but also introduces a completely new dimension: multi-material and multi-color printing. Designed for professionals, engineers, and creators who accept no compromises, the Centauri Carbon 2 combines the agility of CoreXY architecture with the versatility of the CANVAS system, enabling the creation of complex projects with unprecedented ease.

CANVAS System: Color and versatility taken to the next level

The true revolution of the Centauri Carbon 2 is its CANVAS system. This filament management device allows the use of up to four spools simultaneously, handling material changes fully automatically. Whether creating models with striking multi-color finishes or using soluble support materials for impossible geometries, the CANVAS system performs smoothly and efficiently. Thanks to its RFID smart detection technology, the printer automatically recognizes the filament type and adjusts printing parameters to ensure an error-free workflow.

Extreme speed with surgical precision

Based on a next-generation CoreXY architecture, this printer is built for speed. With acceleration above 20,000 mm/s² and printing speeds up to 500 mm/s, the Centauri Carbon 2 drastically reduces production times without sacrificing surface quality. Its reinforced cast aluminum structure ensures that even at these speeds, vibrations are nonexistent, allowing each layer to be deposited with micrometric precision within its 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume.

Ready for the challenge of technical materials

If your project requires strength, the Centauri Carbon 2 is the ideal tool. Equipped with a hardened steel nozzle and a high-flow hotend, it can work with abrasive and technical filaments such as carbon fiber (CF) or glass fiber (GF). Its fully enclosed chamber ensures perfect thermal stability, essential to avoid warping in demanding materials such as ABS, ASA, PC or Nylon (PA), while its AC heated bed reaches optimal temperatures in record time.

Artificial Intelligence and Total Calibration

Forget tedious manual adjustments. The Centauri Carbon 2 features a 121-point automatic leveling system that compensates for even the slightest bed irregularities. It also includes vibration compensation algorithms (Input Shaping) and dynamic pressure advance. The experience is completed with an integrated smart camera that not only enables spectacular timelapses but also monitors printing in real time to detect potential failures, giving you complete peace of mind during long jobs.

ELEGOO OS: An intuitive and connected interface

Machine control is now more powerful thanks to the new ELEGOO OS, managed from a bright 5-inch capacitive touchscreen. Navigation is smooth, allowing model previews and on-the-fly parameter adjustments. With integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, you can send files directly from Orca Slicer, Cura, or Elegoo Slicer, perform OTA updates, and control your printer farm remotely, integrating seamlessly into any design or production environment.

Safety and comfort in your workspace

Elegoo has designed this printer with office and studio environments in mind. Its operation is surprisingly quiet, and it features an advanced air filtration system that captures particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), allowing you to work near the machine with complete safety. Additionally, features such as power-loss recovery and filament runout detection ensure you never lose a print due to external factors.
