I'm rather impressed with this 3D printer! I wasn't sure what to expect from a machine that cost $300 but I was astounded for a number of reasons. Unboxing and setup was super easy! Simple enough instructions (although why they have to print so frickin' small is beyond me - not great for my declining eyesight! lol) and the machine's self-setup is very easy. It runs through its little sequence and balances everything ready for printing. Make sure you have a good stable surface because there will be a fair degree of machine shaking if you don't and this *could* affect print quality. Elegoo's slicer software is incredibly intuitive - you can connect the machine to your LAN via WiFi and this allows you to run the machine and send files without the need for a USB cable, which I appreciated as this makes machine placement relative to PC unrestrained. I have been using Fusion for building my models (available with a free personal license as long as you're not doing it as a business) and then I can import the file into Elegoo's software, called "ElegooSlicer", make whatever settings I want in terms of wall thickness, infill %, infill pattern etc, and then export the GCode (which is what the machine uses to know how to print the item) and then just send the job to the printer, all wirelessly. I used AI a tiny bit to learn how to do certain things, but mostly the software was easy to work out (I have never done any 3D printing before but I do have a laser engraver so there is some tacit knowledge there). I don't have any experience to compare with, but I've been super happy with the print quality. If I wanted extremely smooth sides for very precise moulding or something then a sanding a priming would be necessary, but apparently this is always the case with filament printers (as opposed to resin). All in all, I think this is a fantastic product and I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm using it to print moulds for vacuum forming plastic for my various hobbies and it's working out great so far!

I was looking to replace my Monoprice Maker Select 3 which was a great learning experience with something faster and had an enclosure so I could print ABS without it warping off the plate. I looked at the QIDI and Bamboo and Crealty printers. All of them look good. I liked the QIDI and the Crealty printers for their larger size but I had just purchased some other toys for myself and I was looking to save a buck. Even the 799 price for the low end of the other printers was too much and I didn't want to wait, so I compromised for the smaller print size of this Elegoo for less than half the price of the others and was still quite a bit larger than my old printer. The package arrived in 2 days and I remarked to my wife that it was one of the better packaged deliveries I have ever ordered from Amazon. When I saw the package on my doorstep it was upside down, so I think it was a good thing it was packaged so well because the box had the appearance of going through some hardship on the way to my doorstep. Being pretty careful, I unboxed it in about 10 minutes and the printer was undamaged. Overall, the unboxing was one of the more pleasant experiences I have had. In about 30 - 45 minutes, I started the included benchy print. It printed in 18 minutes and some change. It was better than my best effort on the old printer right out of the box. I got it with the vibration feet, and it makes me laugh because this thing shakes like crazy when it's really printing. I would assume whatever was being printed would be out of shape due to the machine quivering while it's printing, but it turns out some good results. I'm not sure at this point if the vibration feet really make any difference or not. The included filament was enough to print the benchy with a little left over. On my next print, I used that to test the ability to run out of filament and load new filament and continue printing. I wasn't sure how to do it, but it was intuitive enough that I did not even look at the directions. The printer stopped when it ran out and I loaded new filament and told the printer to continue and off it went. I could see a little whisker of filament where the stop was but it's tiny. The one issue I have had so far was when I fired up the Elegoo slicer software. The interface looks decent, and it looks like it has quite a few more features than my Monoprice CURA slicer I have been using but when I tried to slice the included Eiffel Tower stl it crashed twice on my old windows 10 laptop. (old I3 with 16 GB RAM) I tried another simpler stl file I created myself and it sliced that just fine. I'm guessing my old laptop just doesn't have the oomph to slice something that complicated. So far, I could not be happier with my purchase. It is certainly possible to be printing in 30 minutes from starting to open the box. (There is a self test that may put you over that because it takes a while to auto level the bed and test all the fans and heaters) It's probably as close to open the box and print as you can get and make sure the machine is calibrated. I have only tried the included filament and an old spool of Elegoo PLA+ I had on hand and that seems to work really well. But I hope to try some fully enclosed ABS printing soon. 5 Stars because so far, it's just worked. If the software continues to be a problem for my laptop that could knock it down a star. But other than that, 2 hours in, it's as advertised, and I paid about 50 bucks more for this printer than I did my monoprice. I would definitely buy it again. This printer is pretty heavy so if you aren't a brute, you may want someone to help you pull it out of the box. You don't want to break those nice panels before you even get it out of the box!

My original feeling towards this product has changed over the last several months of interaction with their technical support. The printer was replaced by them after 2 months of diagnostic work, some of which was difficult for me to perform (I am an engineer, but my hands and eyes have deteriorated over the last several years). The first unit died after 6 days (of a LOT of printing) with the "cannot communicate with hot end..." messages. I live on the west coast of USA and their technical support does not respond until the next morning. Fortunately for me, I am normally awake from 1:00 PM to 4:00 AM so we were in the "same time-zone." I would receive responses within 18 hours of my email. They shipped me a newly designed USB-C cable and the carrier board that it plugs into on the extruder mechanism. It did not help. They then said I will need to replace the motherboard. This took 7 weeks of interactions and testing (I have approximately 30 emails from/to them) to get to that point. I do not think the engineering of the underside of the printer was well laid out. Belts interact several times with the cabling. Two of the wires are stretched too tightly and bundling the cable group into the printer was very difficult to duplicate After the 4th time of going through that process I just removed the sleeve and used several zip ties. While cutting one of their zip ties-I clipped one of the wires and had to splice in a short patch (one of the groups of wires that was stretched too tightly). I complained to them that I did not feel comfortable replacing the mother board and told them that my engineering background in diagnosing computer issues told me "this unit is going to have more problems in the near future, even if we did accomplish solving the current problem." They agreed to send me a replacement printer after they received the current unit. Hint: ALWAYS keep shipping boxes for 1 year after your purchase (write the date of disposal on the outside of the box and save it). They received the unit quickly (it was shipped to Las Vegas) and they sent out the replacement within 3 days. The printer was shipped form Sacramento (northern California). The replacement came with a new version of the USB-C cable and a newer version of the mother board. It was missing replacement nozzles that my original purchase had (and I unfortunately shipped back with the first printer). The setup worked perfectly. However, I must have used some bad filament and I had a serious jam in the print head (it started with a tangle on the reel). I did not have a 6mm socket to remove the old nozzle and I stripped the old one using a pair of pliers. I ordered replacement nozzles from Amazon and go the printer working within a couple of days. After the jam, When I tried to load filament it would not work. I disassembled the extruder gearing system and discovered a lot of residue filament that was preventing it from engaging. After i cleaned that out, and reported to tech support, I was able to load filament. They agreed to send me a replacement part which I received in 4 days. I have completed about 300-400 hours of printing (primarily Rapid PETG, but also some PLA+) without errors. In summary:: 1) They are using poorly produced products (USB-C cable). 2) They have insufficient pre-shipment testing 3) They need to have "parts" in local warehouses instead of having to overnight/rush-ship. 4) If they cannot have tech support in the US, maybe they could have a small staff in Europe to help with the time-delay. I actually do not understand why they use the USB-C cable connection to the fastest and continuously moving component in the printer. USB-C is designed for plugging into a PC (or phone) that is sitting in one place and not moving (Apple now uses USB-C but NOT for their headphones!). This type of connection used to be locked JST connectors that would hold a connection securely, changing to that design was a poor decision. I am VERT happy with the printer's performance. The adhesion to the heated printing plate is excellent (much better than my previous printer-a Creality and AnyCubic). For the price I do not see anything in this class. I did not choose to use the AMS system as I think this adds too much printing time and waste of filament. I wonder what they use for their professional high end printers and how much they had to compromise to produce this printer price class. I am happy with their tech support. Living on the west coast I am used to companies telling me "we are going to reboot our servers in NYC at midnight"-wait that's 9:00 PM for me, not convenient! Or, "can we call you tomorrow at 8:00 AM? No, that's 5:00 AM for me!" It is very likely I will buy more product from Elegoo in the future (I hate that every piece of software thinks I am mis-spelling Elegoo!). I have spent most of my work experience in the medical and DOD aerospace fields. Most people think "mil-spec" means that the part is of a higher quality. That is un-true. Military or medical specifications means: 1) you need to test 2% of the 200,000 M1.5x4mm screws you are sending us and you cannot have more than 5 failures in that "lot" of product before you ship it out; 2) you must document: who you purchased the entire quantity from and who did they purchase the primary composition of the material (steel, aluminum, plastic, etc.) from. 3) 95% of electronic device failure is related to a bad cable or connector (or design of such). 2% is a major component like a power supply or motor. 1% is a single component (transistor, diode) that has failed (buying the cheapest one you can source out). 1% is something the user did to trigger the failure (but might not be "their fault", they just did something unexpected). Remember the commercial jet that had an engine fall off because the bolts holding it to the wing had not been tested to the "break force" as specified? I was at a distributor when that triggered FBI to randomly audit other purchases of similar fasteners-yes they drive up in black cars, wear black suits and sun-glasses. Even "O-rings" have a life-span and cannot be sold after their cure date. I hope this lengthy review helps people make a decision if they want to purchase from Elegoo. I do recommend their products.

With my Ender 3, I was used to long print times, constant tweaking, and dialing things in before every serious job. A print that used to take me 24 hours is now finishing in just 5 hours on the Centauri Carbon — and the quality is actually better. That kind of speed increase without sacrificing surface finish is something I didn’t think I’d see at this price point. The prints are incredibly smooth. Layer lines are tighter, consistency is better, and the overall finish looks far more refined straight off the bed. I’ve noticed significantly fewer artifacts and far less post-processing needed. The performance is just on another level — it feels like a professional-grade machine compared to what I was running before. Setup was surprisingly simple. From opening the box to being ready to print took only minutes. Everything was well-packaged, intuitive, and clearly designed for a streamlined user experience. No long calibration battles. No frustrating first prints. The slicing software that comes with it is excellent. It’s clean, easy to use, and produces reliable results without endless configuration adjustments. It pairs perfectly with the printer’s capabilities and really makes the whole workflow feel modern and efficient. One of my favorite features is the built-in remote monitoring camera. The video clarity is excellent — sharp, clear, and reliable. Being able to check in on a print from anywhere gives a huge amount of peace of mind. On top of that, the ability to remotely configure settings and monitor progress is incredibly convenient. I can literally sit in my armchair and watch the job progress in real time without having to hover over the printer. That level of control and visibility completely changes the experience. If you’re on the fence about upgrading from an older machine like the Ender 3, the Centauri Carbon is a massive leap forward in speed, performance, remote capability, and ease of use. For me, it completely changed how I approach printing — I can prototype faster, produce more, and spend less time babysitting the machine. Highly recommended.

If you’re looking for a fast, reliable, and truly beginner-friendly CoreXY printer that also performs at high speed, this one delivers. ⚠️ Always keep hands clear of moving parts and the hotend while the printer is powered on or heating. ⚠️ Use the printer in a well-ventilated area, especially when printing ABS due to fumes. ⚠️ Never leave children unsupervised around the printer when it is actively printing. I’ve been running the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 3D Printer, CoreXY 500mm/s High Speed Printing with Auto Calibration, 320°C Nozzle and Built-in Camera, Ready to Print Out of The Box, 256x256x256mm Printing Size nonstop for 8–10 hours a day, and I can confidently say this machine is incredibly easy to use and extremely reliable. The auto leveling system is one of the best features. It’s truly “set it and forget it.” The calibration process is automatic and consistent, which removes a lot of the frustration that usually comes with first-layer tuning. For someone who wants performance without constantly tweaking settings, this is perfect. I’ve been using ELEGOO’s preset slicer settings for ABS, and they are spot on. No guesswork, no endless temperature tuning — just load the filament, select the preset, and print. The filament quality from ELEGOO has been honest and consistent. I haven’t had clogging, under-extrusion, or random layer shifts. Every issue I encountered was 100% user error — and once I corrected it, the printer performed flawlessly. What really stands out is how simple it is to get started. There is **no assembly required on any of the gantries (X, Y, or Z). That’s huge. Out of the box, you: * Remove the three silver metallic shipping screws on the bottom * Install the screen in the front * Power it on That’s it. It’s ready to print. The instruction quality is actually very good — clear, organized, and beginner friendly. On top of that, there are plenty of helpful setup and review videos on YouTube, so even first-time users won’t feel lost. One of the coolest features is the **built-in camera**. Not only can you monitor your prints remotely, but you can also record them. It’s awesome for time-lapses and checking progress without hovering over the machine. For someone printing 8–10 hours a day like I do, that feature is extremely useful. I personally use it, and my kids use it too. It’s genuinely fun to operate. The CoreXY system handles high-speed printing smoothly (up to 500mm/s) without sacrificing quality. After weeks of heavy daily use, I’ve had zero mechanical issues. It just works. Abbreviated Setup Instructions (Quick Start) 1. Remove printer from packaging. 2. Remove the three silver metallic shipping screws from the bottom. 3. Install the touchscreen on the front mount and connect cable (if not pre-attached). 4. Verify all internal foam and protective materials are removed. 5. Load filament into the extruder. 6. Power on the printer. 7. Run Auto Calibration / Auto Level from the menu. 8. Select ELEGOO slicer profile (e.g., ABS preset). 9. Start your first print. Ready to go in minutes.

I originally purchased the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon and overall I really liked the printer. The setup was fairly straightforward, it printed well, and the machine felt solid. The print quality was impressive and the multi-color capability was a lot of fun to work with. Unfortunately, my unit ended up breaking after some use, so I had to return it. That was disappointing because when it was working, it performed very well and showed a lot of promise. I ended up replacing it with the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 2, which I absolutely love. It has become my favorite multi-color 3D printer in my workshop and has been running great. Because my original unit failed, I’m giving the Centauri Carbon 4 stars. It’s a great printer with excellent potential, but reliability matters. Still, the overall experience with the Centauri line has been very positive for me.

I started my foray into 3d printers with a cheap ender clone I got elsewhere. It was... a learning experience, I'll put it that way. After getting my feet wet I knew I wanted something reliable, enclosed, and that could do abrasive materials. This checked those boxes and at a good price, so I went with the Elegoo CC. Zero Regrets. The included built plate has fantastic adhesion for PLA, PETG, and TPU right out of the box. Every failed print I've had has been my own fault exclusively, either do to poor part design, or due to allowing a filament roll to get tangled (protip: a tangle doesn't really LOOK like a tangle right away, if you change filament and accidentally let go of the end of the filament and it goes under another loop, your roll has become a timebomb. It won't LOOK tangled, but it's going to have issues) Software: Elegoo's slicer software has been easy to use, and I have little to complain about there. It was easy to set up with my network and connect my desktop. I've heard Elegoo's app is spotty so if you are planning to do prints off your smartphone be warned. Heat and noise: I highly recommend printing the centauri carbon riser you can find on 3d printable websites, it allows for better airflow for plastics that like to print somewhat cool, while still mitigating noise. It is quite loud if you have the glass top completely off and this print is a night and day difference. The lack of multi color printing is, to me, not a huge deal. Seeing the massive waste that most multi color printers make outside of multi toolhead models I opted to just keep it simple. My primary use case was functional parts and multiple colors were not critical. I would personally consider this to be a great printer for beginners looking to primarily make functional items, but would recommend the CC2 or something multi color capable if purchasing with the intent of making toys and aesthetic pieces.

It's hard to think you could beat this printer for the cost. I was really torn between this printer and some of the multi color options out there like the Flashforge. I ultimately decided that the multi color wasn't that important to me and having the greater material options from this printer was a better choice. I'm happy with my decision. The printer prints great right out of the box. The setup was short. Remove a bunch of packing material and run some auto setup processes and you are ready to go. I have printed several upgrades including a better filament spindle and guard on the side, a riser to hold the glass top open at different levels so I don't have to keep taking it off and on. New hinges for the door to allow it to open fully and a few other things. I've printed mostly with PLA/PLA+ and PETG for the add ons. It has been great. I had zero failed prints on any of that. The print plate has great adhesion. I really like that I am not tied to some cloud service with the printer yet it has Wifi and I can print to it from anywhere in the house. Some people have added different cameras to allow for remote viewing. I went a different path. I think the built in camera is sufficient so I set up a VPN into my home network so I can view the built in camera from anywhere. The only issue I have had to this point is the bowden tube. It has gotten a curve to it from the shipping and it tries to kink. I took it off and reversed the two ends and that seems to have solved it for now. I may replace it in the future. Very minor issue. I know there was a plan for material changing on this model but they put that on hold and announced a new version with the multi material feature. I hope they revisit it and offer the ad-on. It's still a great printer even if they don't.
