Our take

The Centauri Carbon is the printer that made enclosed 500mm/s CoreXY printing a commodity: a rigid fully-enclosed frame, 20,000mm/s² acceleration, 320°C hotend for carbon-fiber filaments, auto calibration and cloud/app control — at a price that used to buy an open-frame bedslinger. It is the benchmark against which every 2025-2026 budget machine is measured.

Pros

  • Enclosed CoreXY for $299
  • 320°C nozzle handles PLA-CF/PETG-CF
  • Fully automatic calibration
  • 20,000mm/s² acceleration

Cons

  • 256mm cube bed only
  • No camera in the base unit
  • Multicolor requires the Combo variant

Verdict

The best value in 3D printing right now. If you’re buying your first “real” printer, start here.
