Elegoo
Elegoo Centauri Carbon review
An enclosed 256 mm CoreXY with a hardened 320 °C hotend for under $300. On paper it is a P1S at half the price, and in practice it is close enough to hurt.
Best for: The best value enclosed printer on the market right now.
What we like
- Astonishing price for an enclosed CoreXY
- 320 °C hardened hotend as standard
- Genuinely quiet
What we don't
- No multi-material option
- Supply has been erratic
- Younger ecosystem than Bambu or Prusa

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a headline number no printer sustains across a whole part — treat it as a ceiling, not a throughput estimate.
