Elegoo Carbon Centuri

Let us know how you get on, when you do.

Well, I've taken the plunge.



I've installed the OpenCentauri firmware on one of the units, to try. Currently printing a benchy scaled up to 125%, to test it.

Was the process easy?

Was the process easy?

It was. Run a little executable on the pc in order to enable developer mode on the printer, pop an update folder with the update.swu file in it on a usb stick, pop that in the printer & update the firmware from the touchscreen.

The boot logo, you can ssh into the printer, after update, & select from one of several. There's also some updated start/end gcode to go in the slicer, if one chooses. Minor changes, but I've used their code.

The benchy, PLA, came out nice.



I'll let you guess which it is in the line-up.

Another reason I decided to try this firmware is that with Elegoo pulling out on the planned AMS front, with these machines, this firmware is most likely the one to support one in future. I'm guessing the BTT Vivid may be a potential candidate.
