A year on, with the upgraded parts it prints pretty well, including a near full-size vase print, but it is bulky and not set-and-forget, and he says firmware has not been updated in about nine months. Undecided about keeping it.

Tested after firmware fixes: very rigid, calibrates input shaper at five heights and prints well, including with a 1 mm nozzle. Cons: confusing Z offset, a hot end too slow for the volume, weak Wi-Fi and a hard-to-reach USB port. Calls the value good and the machine one of a kind.
Frankly Built · 2024年5月25日
Early unit sent by Elegoo to test. Likes the frame and build but is critical of a rushed launch: design and firmware decisions he says were not caught in testing and that leave backers to fix them. Still uses it, but does not trust it yet.
ELEGOO is a Shenzhen company founded in 2015 that makes FDM and resin 3D printers, filament, laser engravers and STEM electronics kits. Its FDM range is the Centauri Carbon, an enclosed CoreXY printer, and the Neptune 4 series of open-frame Klipper printers, sold to hobbyists at budget to mid-range prices. DJI became a shareholder in 2025.

ELEGOO is fairly open in daily use: its printers work over the LAN with open slicers and any filament, and it now publishes firmware source. Source releases have followed community pressure rather than launch, and spare parts for the newest printers are thin in its store.
ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●●
The Neptune 4 series runs Klipper. For the Centauri Carbon, which went on sale in February 2025, ELEGOO published its modified source on GitHub under GPL-3.0 in September 2025, saying it did so in response to user feedback.

ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●●
ELEGOO's printers connect to its slicer on the local network by IP without an account. The Neptune 4 series serves Klipper's web interface and Moonraker, which OrcaSlicer reaches as an Octo/Klipper host. For the Centauri Carbon and Centauri Carbon 2, ELEGOO published Elegoo Link on GitHub in January 2026, an Apache-2.0 SDK for local discovery, status, file upload and print control. The Matrix phone app adds remote printing while the printer is online.

サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●●
Third-party filament works; ElegooSlicer is an open-source OrcaSlicer-based slicer, OrcaSlicer works with the Neptune 4, and ELEGOO published the data format of its RFID filament tags so others can use it.
[7][8][4]
修理と交換部品 ●●●●●
ELEGOO sells hotend, extruder and nozzle kits and some boards for the Neptune 4, and its wiki has many replacement guides, including the Centauri Carbon motherboard. The store's Centauri Carbon parts list is short (hotend kit, touchscreen, upper shell).

データとプライバシー ●●●●●
LAN printing needs no account; the Matrix app and cloud do. The privacy policy names the companies responsible for personal data in each region (Shenzhen, Hong Kong, United States) but is written mainly for the online store.
[12][5]
コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●●
Active community and a wiki with guides per model; firmware and slicer sources are on GitHub, although the Centauri Carbon source came after users asked for it.
