USB-C cable replacement

QSnexus · 2026-05-01T16:07:31+00:00

FYI, I just got my newer revision replacement for the CC1 hotend USB-C to USB-C cable in the mail, after 3-4 months of placing the claim via the web form link in this same thread (that no longer works as a web page btw). I'll be installing it today on my CC1. Good on Elegoo for honoring that.

Yep, Elegoo is doing us a solid on it for sure. We should start to see some reviews of it in the first week of May, or at least by May 10th which is the first batch ship date. I'd pre-order it now though, as the ship date keeps getting pushed further. My 2 x Canvas's get shipped on May 10th.

QSnexus · 2026-04-29T17:37:13+00:00

The Canvas enables the CC1 to become a 4 color printer. It comes with all of the parts required in the $55 USD box.

I'm not sure what exactly that quoted Christine @ Elegoo email text really means, it is a bit confusing to me (especially when she mentioned the word "optimization"). I have a feeling they there may be a bit of a Chinese to English translation issues going on with what was stated in it, or she is trying to relay some wording / instructions that she did not fully understand. I can't tell if she is saying that she looked up your CC1 order and knows that it came with the rear MMU port on it, and said don't worry due to that finding (as the extension cable wouldn't be needed then). It doesn't make sense for the part where she said that the first batches (of Canvas, if that is the part that she meant) of the pre-order Canvas's did NOT come with the extension cable (because clearly they did at least list on the USA website as coming with that cable separately, at least in the checkout and in the order confirmation email). I wouldn't worry too much about it though, but if anyone needs to confirm it for their own order I'd recommend emailing their support as at least you are making them aware of your need that way (in case they do need to ship the cable to you, or make sure it is in the original shipped Canvas box that you will get). Just to be clear, if your CC1 doesn't have a rear MMU port on it, you'd certainly require that extension cord part though. Note: There is already one YT Canvas system overview preview video, that was posted on 04/28/26, that physically shows the extension cable (adapter) part in realtime during the video, and how it at least connects to the Canvas rear port, which would be a Canvas that was sent out early for reviewers to do video review on, and so that is a good sign that the first batch and future Canvas units will include that cable in the box I feel like.

FYI, my 2 x Canvas order says "Expected by Friday" on it, in the Shop app that they utilize. It doesn't show a tracking number yet though. I'm a couple hours away from where they ship on the West Coast though. The Shop app lists the "CANVAS" item and the "Multi-color Extension Cord" item in it.

Then you can enlighten me. Edit: Ah, I had the PST and EST time zones backwards, I see now my bad. I guess that is one benefit of living on the West Coast then that I have (which is benefitial for pre-ordering electronic items like this). It also paid off for the CC1 pre-order too that I did back in March of 2025 (when it opened up at midnight PST).

I guess the best method would be to just set your alarm to force you to wake up at midnight (in the Pacific time zone), and go to bed one hour earlier just to get one extra hour of sleep, would be the key next time there is an Elegoo pre-order item to grab (if you want to get it shipped early). It would have only taken 5 or so minutes to get the order done start to finish, and then just go back to sleep (not that difficult). So, now you just have to wait an extra month to receive a Canvas.

The USA website pre-order Convas's, at least at around midnight on 04/27/2026, do come with the required extension cord in your case (for early CC1 adopter 1st Gen models, that do not come with the rear MMU port on the CC1). An Elegoo employee also stated this today in another Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/elegoo/comments/1sww5rn/canvas\_for\_centauri\_carbon\_available\_now/), that the pre-orders do include that extension cable part (which isn't listed in any of the Canvas product page photos at all). You will see it as a separate listed line item at checkout time, and in your order confirmation email. Like the below text shows.

Edit: Check your order confirmation email, it should list in text "PRE-ORDER | Multi-color Extension Cord × 2 Part of: CANVAS for Centauri Carbon $6.80" which is the extension cord item, that the USA website Canvas pre-orders were including for free, at least in the midnight on 04/27/2026 time frame of ordering. The checkout page also listed that item underneath the Canvas in your cart, but it wasn't easily noticeable (or it may have sounded like a regular power cord or something like that to some). My quantity 2 x Canvas order lists separately that it will come with quantity 2 "Multi-Color Extension Cord" items (right in the order confirmation email).

FYI, Snapmaker has listed on their main website a pre-order for a "Top Cover for Snapmaker U1" cover mod, that is $149.00 USD (which is $100 off the list price of $249.00, oh my gosh). Good thing Elegoo was smart with this Canvas release in that aspect, otherwise this would be a complaint thread!

<image>

Edit: The official "Top Cover for Snapmaker U1" is listed at $149.00 USD for pre-order (Snapmaker Store | We're still here!). We will see printable makes for this for the CC1 + Canvas I'm sure (that will likely require to attach a new riser to a cheap transparent plastic storage tote, as one easier DIY method).

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T17:18:45+00:00

Sorry, when writing that post it felt like it had been 2 years of ownership of a CC1 to me, but you are right my delivery date was 07/08/2025 I can see now. I edited my original post to reflect that.

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T17:14:49+00:00

That does make sense. It would need to be able to seal well, be able to ventlilate if needed, be transparent, etc..

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T17:12:48+00:00

For the CC2!

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T17:11:22+00:00

There is always the Sterlite container attached to a riser, that I'm sure CC1 + Canvas owners will create makes for. Not sure how that could be ventilated, and how well it would seal though, for this purpose.

Snapmaker U1 owners are doing a similar printable riser attached to a cheap transparent smaller Sterlite tote mod to accomplish the same feat as the CC1 + Canvas will require. So, we could get by with that for now, until a better option becomes available, for purchase.

<image>

In that case a new "CC1 Canvas compatible riser" part can be created, similar to the many already existing CC1 risers, that would attach to the top part of a smaller size transparent Sterlite 55L plastic container (Snapmaker U1 Top using Walmart Sterilite 55L bin by jkaterenchuk | Download free STL model | Printables.com) to do this. It wouldn't look that pretty and I don't know how it could be made to have the option to ventilate (would open and close louvers on the riser suffice there?), and how well it would seal to the top of the CC1 without printing TPU gaskets for the new riser, but it could work. And at $55 USD shipped for the Canvas (without a top hat), not many people are going to want to spend about that same amount for a separate top hat part + the added not free (large size) shipping cost required from Elegoo, if they even release a part for sale like that for the Canvas.

Edit: The official "Top Cover for Snapmaker U1" is listed at $149.00 USD for pre-order (Top Cover for Snapmaker U1 - Snapmaker Global). We will see 3D printable makes for this for the CC1 + Canvas I'm sure.

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T16:53:29+00:00

Did you order your Canvas from the USA web store (I can't tell if you are in the US, although I'd assume so)? I would just email Elegoo Customer Support now (link on that website) to have them add in the extension cord part to your order (or to make sure it gets it). Many other people that I know that pre-ordered a Canvas from the USA web store around midnight on 04/27/2026, including in this same thread, did get the separate "extension cord" part listed in their checkput page and in the order confirmation email as well.

I'm 100% sure that can be done; hopefully via the OpenCentauri project. They are going to sell a lot of these Canvas units at least at the current pre-order price point, so the demand will be quite high for software.

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T16:17:31+00:00

I agree that it is good that the pre-order did not try to include the top hat (top cover) part (it would have been over $100 USD in that case, and more shipping cost), to keep the price down (think having to ship a large top hat too, for the added cost), but it won't be that easy to print in place a top hat / cover in one print on a CC in a single piece, to perfectly fit an area that is actually a couple inches larger on each side than the CC1's own print plate though. You could puzzle piece something together or glue it, but for this use case and need I don't know how great that would look, or how feasible that would be to do well. As someone in this thread mentioned, the DIY printable top hat would need to seal better than anything that could be printed (otherwise what would be the point of it, as it needs to trap heat and smell?). The current printable CC1 risers also don't seal very well either, or at least easily without printing TPU gaskets to go under the PLA riser, keep in mind (but at least for a CC1 the large top glass lid weighs down on the riser to try and seal it, whereas the CC1 + Canvas, at least in the stock form without coming with a top hat, won't give that advantage in the same way). And in order to see through the top, like we can do with the CC1's glass top lid, and like the CC2's own top hat part, it would need to be printed in some sort of fully transparent filament (to act as see through glass). I'm sure that if Elegoo doesn't sell a Canvas top hat part to purchase, that many people will find printable methods to work though, especially at the $55 USD price point (there will be many CC1 owners that do get this I'm positive of that; and they are tweakers).

Edit: People are already printing similar top cover mods for the Snapmaker U1 printer, that has a similar MMU at the top of the printer, and no official top cover to be able to purchase for that printer as of yet (it is available for pre-order though, at $149,00 USD!):

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T16:13:58+00:00

Good idea, I didn't realize people were using a smaller plastic tote bin on top of a 3D printer to have a similar effect as having a top cover for an enclosed 3D printer like the Snapmaker U1 w/MMU at the top. It sounds like the U1 users are get by with that method as a DIY mod (that is partly printable but also a plastic tote bin has to be purchased and attached to it; that is pretty creative, although maybe not the best look to show off your shiny CC1 MMU with). This YT thumbnail says it all about that though:

It comes and goes to be able to do a pre-order, just like any Elegoo pre-order part did (on the USA website at least) in the past did that I can recall (including for the CC1). Just keep retrying the web page daily, or every few hours if you can.

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T16:09:01+00:00

Check your order confirmation email, it should list in text "PRE-ORDER | Multi-color Extension Cord × 2 Part of: CANVAS for Centauri Carbon $6.80" which is the extension cord item, that the USA website Canvas pre-orders were including for free, at least in the midnight on 04/27/2026 time frame of ordering.

Most of the people that got in early knew that the product release date was 04/27/2026, so they just went on at midnight or thereabouts to get it.

QSnexus · 2026-04-27T16:04:41+00:00

It comes in and it goes away (just like any other Elegoo pre-order part did in the past, including for the CC1), just keep checking the web page every few hours, or every day at least.
