I recently got a Centauri Carbon and didn't see a dedicated community on the Fediverse so I figured I would make one for anyone who is interested. https://lemmy.world/c/elegoo_centauri_carbon

Was looking at that the other week when the usual "what should I buy" topic came up and... I am a firm believer that nobody should buy a printer without an enclosure in 2025 and core xy is basically standard but the centauri carbon being about half the price of everyone else is more than a bit alarming.

Yeah not thrilled about being locked into an ecosystem but at least the cost of entry is less than others.

I typically only print in PLA but will branch out on this new machine. My others are all ender 3s with some upgrades so they will get a lot less use now.
