The Centauri 2 is Elegoo's budget CoreXY with a 256 mm build cube, a 350 degrees C nozzle and a 500 mm/s top speed, and the Combo adds the Canvas system for four colours. It is for hobbyists who want a fast, inexpensive printer with optional multi-colour.
Calls it a very good, stripped-down four-color Core XY printer built on the Canvas system, the most budget-friendly she has seen, with a well-designed UI and easy 95A TPU. Cons: no camera, no lighting, no enclosure, spool holders that fit many spools poorly, and a cold plate that is not sticky enough.
“Currently on sale for $319, the Elegoo Centauri 2 Combo is the most budget-friendly four-color Core XY printer I’ve seen.”
何时选择ELEGOO Centauri 2 Combo
Choose the Centauri 2 Combo when price is the deciding factor: Tom's Hardware, which rated it 3.5/5, called it the most budget-friendly four-colour CoreXY printer it has seen, at $319 on sale, with a well-designed interface and easy 95A TPU. It is stripped down: Tom's Hardware found no camera, no lighting and no enclosure. For ABS or ASA or a classroom, an enclosed printer such as the Bambu Lab P2S or Creality K2 is the better pick; if you do not need colour, the plain Centauri 2 costs less still.
优点
The most budget-friendly four-colour CoreXY Tom's Hardware had seen; Elegoo lists $279 for the printer and $329 for the Combo.
A 350 degrees C nozzle, CoreXY at up to 500 mm/s and full-auto calibration (Elegoo).
A well-designed interface and easy printing of 95A TPU (Tom's Hardware).
The Combo uses Elegoo's Canvas system for four colours (Tom's Hardware).
Expected to work with SimplyPrint through the SimplyPrint Client.
缺点
No enclosure, so ABS and ASA are not what it is made for.
No camera and no lighting (Tom's Hardware), so remote watching needs an add-on.
Spool holders fit many spools poorly, and the cold plate is not sticky enough (Tom's Hardware).
The Client route is expected, not verified; Klipper is not possible and OctoPrint unlikely.
适合谁
学校可用
Cheap and easy to use, and SimplyPrint can queue prints for approval, but it is open with no camera.
业余爱好者非常适合
A fast four-colour CoreXY for very little money, rated well by Tom's Hardware for its value.
企业可用
Fine for PLA and PETG prototypes, but open, with no camera and limited materials.
打印农场不太适合
No camera and no enclosure, and the SimplyPrint route is not yet verified, so it is a weak choice for unattended fleets.
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.
固件和自定义固件 ●●●●●
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.
[1][2][3][4]
本地控制与集成 ●●●●●
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.
[5][4][16][6][17]
第三方耗材、切片软件和零件 ●●●●●
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]
维修和备件 ●●●●●
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).
[9][10][11]
数据与隐私 ●●●●●
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]
社区和文档 ●●●●●
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.
[11][7][1]
优点
Works on the local network with ElegooSlicer or OrcaSlicer, with no account needed.
Open-source slicer and a published RFID tag format for filament.
Many step-by-step replacement guides in its wiki.

Few complete Centauri Carbon parts are listed in its store.
The privacy policy is written mainly for the online store.
