Elegoo’s Centauri Carbon 2 Combo budget 3D printer is now available — brings four-color printing to an accessible price point

Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2.

Elegoo is taking another bite out of the budget CoreXY market with the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo, a four-color evolution of the wildly popular Centauri Carbon. This is not the color update module that fans were hoping for, instead we’ve been presented with an entirely new machine.

The Centauri Carbon 2 resembles a more polished Flashforge AD5X, with four spool holders bolted to the side that feed into a multi-material system perched on top of the printer. A “top hat” style enclosure covers the four Bowden tubes that guide filament from the “CANVAS” unit to the four color hub mounted on the tool head. This system is easier to maintain than a Bambu-style AMS, since everything is out in the open.
