Product Detail

It accepts a dialect of g-code, but that dialect is not documented.

Despite its proprietary firmware, the Centauri Carbon is compatible with open-source slicing software such as Ultimaker Cura. Users can prepare and send print jobs using these tools, allowing for full control over print settings and operations.

The Centauri Carbon does not mandate the use of cloud services for its operation. All features and functionalities are accessible through local control, ensuring that users are not dependent on internet connectivity or external servers

Firmware updates for the Centauri Carbon can be performed locally. Users can download firmware files from Elegoo's official website and apply updates via USB flash drives, without the need for cloud-based services.

While some components of the Centauri Carbon, such as nozzles and certain mechanical parts, can be replaced with third-party alternatives, other components like the LCD screen and platform are proprietary. These proprietary parts may not have third-party equivalents, potentially limiting repair options.

There is no evidence to suggest that Elegoo collaborates with third-party open-source projects for the Centauri Carbon. The company maintains a closed ecosystem for this model, without contributions or support to external open-source initiatives.
