Performance and user experience
- Print quality: Reviewers note that the Centauri Carbon produces high-quality prints, particularly when printing with carbon fiber filaments, where its heated chamber provides an edge over some rivals.
- Firmware and software: The printer utilizes Elegoo’s proprietary operating system and slicer software, which are based on OrcaSlicer and Bambu Studio. While reviewers found the software user-friendly, some tinkerers may be disappointed that the system is closed and not compatible with open-source Klipper commands.
Reliability: Early users reported some firmware bugs and quality control issues, such as loose components. However, subsequent firmware updates appear to have resolved many of these problems, and later production units have shown more consistent performance.
Drawbacks: For printing standard PLA, Elegoo recommends removing the glass top, which increases noise and requires a dedicated storage space for the lid. Some users also reported occasional connectivity issues with the web interface.
