ELEGOO · 3D PRINTING
Centauri Carbon 2
Bring ideas to life in your school STEM lab or makerspace with the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 2. Automated calibration helps beginners get started, while its enclosed CoreXY design and broad material support give experienced students and educators room to explore functional prototypes and more demanding projects.
Single-printer version: CANVAS is sold separately. Multicolor printing requires the optional CANVAS system. Printed models, full-size filament spools and bundle accessories shown in demonstration images are illustrative unless listed below.
Key Features
Manufacturer sound rating: ≤45 dB, measured using ELEGOO PLA in Silent Mode with the auxiliary part-cooling fan off. Maximum speed and material performance depend on print settings and the material used.
