Buying call

Buy the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo if you want enclosed multicolor printing for less: reviewers praised its outstanding value, fully enclosed design, reliable four-color printing with automatic filament handling, high nozzle temperature, no required cloud account and excellent print quality with PLA, PETG and engineering filaments. Skip it if you want a heated chamber or more than four colors. Purge waste is substantial, the cold plate isn't sticky enough, and higher-temperature filaments need glue and brims.
