Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2
The Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 is a fully enclosed CoreXY printer with a 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume, designed to bring four-color printing to an accessible price point. It uses Elegoo's CANVAS multicolor system, which feeds up to four filaments via PTFE tubes to the toolhead, paired with a 5-inch touchscreen, RFID filament detection, and 31 onboard sensors for auto-leveling and process checks. Print speed reaches 500 mm/s with a 350 °C hardened nozzle and 110 °C heated bed, and the enclosure passively retains heat well enough to handle PAHT-CF and polycarbonate without active chamber heating, targeting hobbyists who want enclosed multicolor printing on a budget.
Pros
- Four-color CANVAS multicolor system at a budget price
- Fully enclosed with passive heat retention suitable for some engineering filaments
- RFID filament recognition and 31-sensor auto-leveling
- 500 mm/s max speed with a 350 °C nozzle
Cons
- No actively heated chamber despite the full enclosure
- 256 mm build volume is smaller than many competitors in this price tier
- CANVAS module adds height and visual bulk to the top of the printer
