The Elegoo Centauri Carbon, a budget-friendly Core XY 3D printer has been popular in 2025. It seems that in 2026, Elegoo will launch the Centauri Carbon 2, which, according to the official images, has a multi-material system (AMS / MMU depending on brand) for multi-color printing.
Price and release date are still a mystery. The only vague date that we have is Q1 2026 which comes from a press release regarding a delayed release date for a multi-color print upgrade for the original Centauri Carbon.
