Deal Details
Elegoo has their Centauri Carbon in stock.

People on the Centauri Facebook group & Reddit have been reporting receiving their printer within days of ordering and the removed preorder from the product page.

I normally wouldn't post an "in stock" item but imo this is the best bang for your buck printer out there and compares favorably with my P1S & people have been waiting months to get their printer. I just passed the 1k hour mark on mine and it has been great. The multi-material system should be available for purchase some time in August. I'm by no means an expert, but if you have any questions I will try to answer them based on user experience.

For new Elegoo customers, you can scroll down to the bottom of the screen and enter your email where it says "stay in the know" and they will send you a $10 coupon bringing the price to $290, otherwise price is $300.

Shipping is $30.
  • Print Right Out of the Box
  • Full-Auto Calibration
  • CoreXY with 500 mm/s Velocity
  • 20,000 mm/s² Acceleration
  • Unleash Creativity with Every Filament
  • Chamber Camera Acts as Your Eyes
  • Build Volume 256 × 256 × 256 mm

$10 savings on top of a printer already at a great price.

Honestly there is nothing out there that makes more sense to get right now over the CC.

Unfortunately the replacement hotends are, and have always been, on preorder, and the nozzles are not even sold. There are 3rd party offerings on Amazon, but they aren't cheap. Other printer parts aren't available anywhere, notably the original build plates.

You can use Bambu plates you just have to line it up with the front of the plate instead of the back. It's a hair smaller but I've had no issues doing this.

Still a great printer. I have had this since the launch. I got mine in the first batch. Still using the same nozzle it came with. I have probably 400 plus hrs, would have more but I use my other printers as well. The nozzle is not a worry if you follow manufacturer guidelines, opening lid or door for certain filaments etc. And I use my cryo plates I bought for my Bambu Printers. Just line the plate up all the way to the left side and slide it up to line up with the front. Works fantastic in my opinion. The price is unbeatable.

What you say is all true, but my statement still stands. You can only pre-order some OEM parts for this printer, and most are not available. As for the hotend, repairs aside, if you want a 0.2mm or 0.6mm one you'll be sitting in the pre-order queue. I think it's a great printer for the money but 4-5 months after release we're still starved for parts. This won't matter for the occasional tinkerer, but for others it will.

My guess is they will start to catch up on the spare accessories now that they caught up on the printers. I ordered nozzles in April and received them in April, and it was preorder then as well. I do know that there are people still waiting on hotend shipments, so my order likely was not the norm. I still haven't used them as my original is still working fine, but it's certainly comforting knowing I have them if needed for sure.

I ordered a spare .08mm nozzle for rapid prints and glad I did because I need to refurbish the .04mm nozzle for the 3rd time due to the "wood PLA" that was shipped with the printer. It would be nice to be able to get spares at this point.

Not a deal, this is regular price, discount has been available before too. Having said that, it's a great printer and I feel like it's the best value out there.For beginners (like myself), it was very easy to set up and start printing, I've also been looking into mods. Also, I believe AMS unit will be announced this year as well.

I am still going to wait to see if they discount the AMS bundle like everyone else does.

I think that's a good call. Also Bambu likely to announce something else this year as well. I refuse to get this without an AMS solution. Multicolor aside, its just convenient as well.

I'm in the same camp. They said Mutli Material would come out q3, so should be any day now.
