A multicolor system that shares one nozzle will always create filament waste, but I’m pleased with the results so far. ElegooSlicer allows the user to tune the filament purge amounts and use purge objects, which will let you keep waste to a minimum.
With a retail price tag of $449, the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo dramatically undercuts similarly sized multicolor CoreXY printers, including Bambu Lab’s P2S , while promising excellent print quality. If the hardware lives up to its specs, Elegoo isn’t just offering a cheaper alternative. It’s positioning itself as a direct threat. With DJI reportedly backing the company , the multicolor 3D printer race just got a lot more interesting.

BTM18 Love my Centauri Carbon. Amazing value. I just works. I highly recommend Elegoo CC/CC2. Reply
frankieXZ CC is huge value, but a lot of folks bought the CC1 for the promise of the AMS system. That's now in this and no upgrade path for the CC1. Go figure. This easily goes head to head with the Anycubic, mind that now has the max 350×350 print plate model. And wasn't the main reason DJI invested in Elegoo is because Bambu was started by a bunch of ex-DJI workers that thought better? Reply
