This is tempting, but I got burned by Elegoo on the Neptune 3, when they released the Neptune 3 Pro 6 months later and all firmware updates on the 3 stopped entirely. The Marlin and Klipper community never had an officially supported config (it's been a while since I checked) due to garbage documentation of the board they used.

Lots of people raised this issue on Reddit, Facebook etc, and Elegoo pretty much said too bad.

Hard for me to trust initial releases after that, especially when a lot of "reviews" thus far are from paid YouTubers.

Just my 2 cents.

This is not a resin printer; it's a FDM printer that uses rolls of filament. Here is a link that explains the differences. [formlabs.com]

I found you can use promo code SASE10 to take off another $10. Helps take the shipping cost down.

Something else to keep in mind, if you are comparing open vs open I think the difference is small. However it seems like the enclosed models have a budget price gap ($330 after shipping vs $380) so, if the performance is equal, and on paper they seem to be, then the combination of lower price+bigger build volume and a $50 savings makes the Elegoo look like the better option if the wait isn't an issue.
I'm not in the rush of getting one right now so I think I'll go w/ the pre-order of the Elegoo Centauri Carbon. Looking at the pre-order list, I'm in the June 30 so pretty much expect it around July. This will give me some time to watch more videos and learn about 3D printing. I ordered that filament link you sent. Do you have any other recommendation on where to start to learn on creating my own 3D files? Is it pretty difficult to do? I wonder if there is an app that can use your camera to scan an image and convert it to 3D?
Hey man, thanks for putting the time out and informing me w/ a bunch of stuff and answering a bunch of noob questions. Excitied to try this new hobbie. Thanks again.

I'm not a good one to ask about 3D modeling. I've been doing it for a long time and I've become very used to how programs like Solidworks function. I find some of the non-parametric programs to be frustrating. I've heard good things about Fusion 360 for personal use (the non-personal versions are expensive). I use Solidworks for makers which is under $50/year.
Those are programs where you define your shapes. Other programs like Blender are more like digital modeling clay. Better for fancy shapes but perhaps harder if you need a slot that is 5.7mm wide.

Though I have not had a TON of experience with the Carbon yet (got it Saturday), it already seems pretty freaking awesome. Considering the $199 Centauri is basically the same thing without an enclosure and a few other bells and whistles (camera) it is an absolute STEAL!!!I'm thinking $199 unit will be my go to recommendation for anyone interested in getting into 3D printing. It might not be quite as user friendly as the Bambu, but it just DESTROYS the bambu in value. The A1 mini still costs more and doesn't even compare. Core XY is the way to go. I won't go back to bed slingers.
How did you get it so quick? Are you a reviewer? Or, is Elegoo started shipping them out already?

FYI, I got mine in Saturday (bought 3 mins after launch) and I've really been liking it so far. The prints are pretty spectacular. A few negatives for sure like the camera is terrible and I really hope they do some serious work on the firmware (and open it up). I wish it had a ethernet port, but wifi will suffice for now.Anyway I'm VERY impressed at the value of this thing. I'm replacing a Neptune 4 Pro so I have already been impressed with Elegoo. Feel free to ask me any questions.
How loud is it compared to something like the Ender V3 KE which I have or other CoreXY printers? One of the youtubers stated that it is very loud and since the enclosure has to be open to print some filaments, I wonder how loud it will be.

Does anyone have any other discount codes? I have 319$ minimum in my cart but all the ones posted don't seemed to work.

How does this work with tariffs for preorders? Are they losing money?
