Not an affiliate. No tracking links. Just a pretty video of my new printer I thought you guys might like. Leave me a comment if you want to say hi. Hosted on my own Peertube instance.
Nice! Followed your channel too, it’s always nice to see more PeerTube content out there.
Unrelated but out of curiousity, if you had tagged this community in the video’s description, would it have shown up here by itself? I do that from one fedi platform to another all the time, like from PixelFed to Lemmy, but I’ve never tried this specific crossing.
Thanks for the follow. I try to make content about stuff that interests me :)
I am honestly not sure how cross posting from peertube to lemmy would work, I haven’t tried it. May experiment in the future with my local instances so I don’t piss off the general population. I certainly didn’t do it this time, posted the old fashioned way. Definitely something to look into for future use though you make a good point.
I just bought a Centauri Carbon in December. It was a huge upgrade from my Ender 3 and I love it.
My only complaint is that the nozzle is part of the hot end and cannot be removed. Like many others, I ended up getting a clog that was difficult to remove.
I recommend getting a noclogger to make removing clogs much easier.
Thanks for the link. Bought a couple. Going to lose the 1st one in about 5 minutes. Appreciate the feedback, likewise this is a massive upgrade from my Mingda D2. The speed is mind boggling. Technology is crazy.
Just a heads up, mine took like 3-4 weeks to arrive so I wouldn’t worry if it takes awhile.
Noted, thanks!
What would be the benefit of designing them so the nozzle isn’t replaceable? There are some filaments (i.e. carbon fibre) that are super rough on nozzles and require regular maintenance/replacement.
It’s to force people to buy the whole hotend. More revenue for them. Elegoo has been speed running a race to the bottom in the name of profit, so this isn’t surprising to me at all.
It looks like there are a few aftermarket options available that don’t have this limitation so when this nozzle/hot end bites it I may look at those. The replacements are only $20 but still, being able to purchase nozzles over the entire hot end would be preferable. Luckily it seems there are options after a quick glance online.
I’m glad there are 3rd party options. Elegoo shouldn’t be rewarded for making a modular device less so just to sell more bits at once.
Wholeheartedly agree.
So what are the talking points or take aways from the video?
Every video about printers seems to have a talking point or sales pitch. I just wanted to share the printer as it is, I’m more interested in hearing other peoples opinions about it.
