I believe this is the cheapest it has been. Last deal for $420 came with two spools of filament for $420 but I believe there was also $30 shipping charge at the time. This deal has free shipping.
Also includes a set of spare "claws" which is automatically added to cart.I've had mine basically since launch and pretty happy with it. On most prints, it outpaces my P1S. There is an app to monitor your prints or control prints mid print. You can't send new prints vis the app though like the Handy app. I did have some connectivity issues initially, but that was cleaned up with a firmware update.
The all in one is also on sale at $543 if you need/want the extras.The all in one includes:

I'm leaning toward the understanding that consumer 3d printer are really only good for prototyping and art. Anything that is printed that is going to be used is only good for 3-8 months, basically only creates waste
I often used the recommended infill, sometimes higher. In a lot of cases, things just snapped under light pressure after a few months.
In summary, If you are considering a 3d printer to build useful things, you're probably not going to be too satisfied after several months
I printed end parts with PETG that hold two dowels which can hold 10-11kg of filaments, still going strong
I printed sort of EV adapter holder, it's in my car from more than a year, no issue whatsoever
And many many functional prints that I am using she completely forgot where that they are even printed.
Just an FYI it's walls that gives strength to the part not just infill.
I personally highly recommend 3d printers, specially if you have kids, see their mindset change to how they can design things to solve problems. No idea on this 3d printer, I don't have any Elegoo printer.

I just picked up one of these Centauri Carbon 2 specifically to do higher temp high performance filaments for things like outdoor RV parts and custom electronics cases and we use them to make parts for competitive robotics. So far it is working well but there is still some cheapness here and there. Namely the clam shell on the toolhead is made in several parts and rattles and resonates making an incredible racket. It is within my ability to fix that but people should be aware that this printer is still within the realm of you may have to work on it and make mods for it. If something happens and you have to really take it apart to work on the belts or the motion system or something it could be quite an adventure. Other than that it seems quite well made, it is sturdy, it is crazy fast compared to what I had before. I just got it so I haven't dug into it much, so far I have just run the setup and loaded old filament in and turned it loose and it has worked. There is a good community for it, it is a good format except for the giant top hood but that is a strong and simple solution that is fine with me. Changing the nozzle assembly is unecessarily difficult involving removing two tiny delicate wire plugs delicately with pliers, so if you are the kind of person that wants to change nozzle sizes all the time you might want to look at the mod that converts the elegoo nozzles to the quick change bambu nozzles.
If you are considering this you would have to check for yourself but when I was looking at ordering from Elegoo they were not charging me sales tax which saves $30. I think it is a pretty good deal and you are getting it straight from Elegoo.
