Hello, I've been watching the centauri carbon the supposedly all die cast aluminium frame 3D FDM printer from elegoo. Was supposed to be realased December 2024, but it seems it is delayed again. Seems like the bamboolab copy, but the catch is it's suppose to be way way cheaper. Because it has competition from QIDI, the price should be ~300Eur. But as we all know elegoo makes many mistakes over and over again. So I don't know in the long run if it will even fly!

What is your thought on this 3D printer that seems to be hidden.

Goodbye overpriced locked firmaware Bambulab
Goodbye overpriced PRUSA, manufacturing in Europe is clearly stupid. Nobody can replace China cheap manufacturing, look at electricity costs.

If it prints as good as influencers show, nobody will have to pay thousands for a 3D printer that does the same for cost of 4 quality filament spools. Cast aluminum frame makes this no brainer.

No heated chamber it is missing, however adding one is possible with PID temp control cheap and simple. Aliexpress has all the parts.
