SHENZHEN, China, Jan 20, 2026 – ELEGOO will launch the Centauri Carbon 2 combo 3D printer on Jan 26, 2026. The product targets home users and professionals seeking accessible multicolor 3D printing that supports beginner, hobbyist, and advanced use cases.

Key Features & Highlights

ELEGOO’s Centauri Carbon 2 combo uses CANVAS system to automate multicolor 3D printing. The system handles color changes, filament loading, and backup functions to simplify operation. RFID-based filament detection recognizes materials and applies recommended settings to models downloaded from Nexprint, a platform for sharing and downloading 3D models. This approach enables users across skill levels to produce multicolor prints without technical knowledge or CAD design skills.

The printer operates at 45 dB, allowing it to run in living rooms or home offices with minimal disruption. A 5-inch capacitive touchscreen provides smartphone-like control and supports 11 languages. The design enables shared use across a household, from school projects and hobbies to everyday printed items.

The Centauri Carbon 2 combo adds a high-temperature nozzle, auto-leveling, and temperature control to expand material support and simplify operation. These upgrades position the system as a family-friendly multicolor 3D printer suited for everyday creative use.
