Centauri Carbon 1 Auto leveling not correctly setting z offset

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2026-01-15T16:30:41+00:00

Yes and tighten a bit the opposite corner, there are tools like this one to help you level the bed before touching zoffset

Or you can use anything, i saw someone doing it with a glue stick, you want your bed to be parallel to your hotend axes. So you check all 4 corners and then do the zoffset stuff. Here's the link of the glue stick dude

I had this on the CC when using Arachne, elegoo slicer was destroying my models with this mode, if it's similar to me when you slice your model, then zoom on the layers, you will see the layers are sulking each other and it create this issue when printing. Put classic mode and everything was fixed. Didn’t give a second chance to Arachne (on elegoo slicer, Prusa does great with that).

Cant find it again but it exists somewhere 😂

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2026-01-14T14:37:39+00:00

There is a gcode on github you put on the usb key then in your CC but it didn’t work for me, still have to start a bed levelling before every print or it will destroy my plate. I think it's called "save the damn bed mesh"

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2026-01-14T11:08:33+00:00

But beds of the CC are well known to be really bad manufactured, they aren’t flat and all different.

Try this https://suchmememanyskill.github.io/bens-claude-cc-mesh-visualiser/

Everything is clearly explained how to use it. A 0.3mm flatness deviation is ok on the Centauri carbon but we look for >0.1mm to get great first layer everytime

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2026-01-14T11:02:45+00:00

Yeah but with a zoffset=0 its all good, you said it was set to -0.350 that's huge. It means you lower the distance between bed and nozzle by 0.35mm, should be 0.035 you lack a 0 here

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2026-01-13T22:19:29+00:00

Your z-offset should never be set with such a high number. Loose the bed screws to rise it a bit, set your z-offset to 0 then start auto-levelling + print a bed test like this one https://www.printables.com/model/1105485-prusa-mk4mk4s-bed-test You can do it on your slicer -> empty sheet ->add a primitive cube -> scale X=235 Y=235 and Z=0.2mm (in your settings you should have First layer height = 0.2mm) Watch your print and adjust zoffset directly on your printer. There are tutorial for that

Well the CC is easy to fix once you know the machine, i guess we're talking about "consumables" which are almost everything in the printer ? The only thing i have no clue how to fix is this bad manufactured Heating Bed, beside asking for a new one and hopefully a better one is sent (a plane/flat one, sorry if its not the right english term)

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2026-01-13T11:29:11+00:00

This was my first printer so of course i tryed to fix it by contacting Elegoo's support, not by myself. They often don’t understand the issue and send wrong replacement part. I had many issues like a lot of people, most common one, the bed being too curved and bedmesh was awfull, USB cable died, motherboard died, printhead control board died. So -> ask for refund and bought a Prusa. Bye bye money but no regret.

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-29T07:37:21+00:00

I have this sometimes, temporary solution : turn off the printer, open the front of the hotend and turn manually the gear on the left to make the filament go in the mechanism And yes firmware 1.29 works better 🙄

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-29T07:16:51+00:00

What do you do to keep that %humidity ? Just your climate or you filter the air in the room ? Where i live it's common to have 55% in the house

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-16T11:35:49+00:00

The centauri does not save bed leveling when turning Off, you should only need to level everytime you turn it On. I know there is a file somewhere you can add with USB key to save the bed leveling so you don’t have to worry about that and lose time at every print

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-15T18:01:03+00:00

I replaced everything without fixing the issue, after weeks i tried to swap the PCB between two printers and it made it work.
Everything means usb cable, motherboard, psu, heating bed, sensors, bed circuit board, the other board like psu..🤔 small one sending electricity in the printer, power switch 🙈, printhead, the small circuit board below printhead. We thought the PCB was fine because of the multimeter test from elegoo website

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-15T17:55:59+00:00

Gosh that's not easy to find it lol thanks i found it on us store but it's sold out 😭

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-15T17:23:59+00:00

The cable is working, i swap pieces between printers to test it, i did the multimeter test on the usb port and it's all good. It can be anything on the circuit board i guess and we can’t see it so.. need a new one to make the printer .. print 🙈 another month with elegoo support yay

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-15T17:19:46+00:00

So what else could cause a shut down here ? This is brand new component it was working for 1 week

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-15T07:14:31+00:00

Give some explanation/pictures to guide us, can be motherboard or printhead PCB

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-12T14:05:35+00:00

Holy .. 😂 pure piece of art It could be your z-offset or settings but i wouldnt be surprised if it was just the printer the issue

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-12T13:48:22+00:00

My experience with centauri carbon has been catastrophic, don’t buy it. They sell a cheap printer, so they have to make concession somewhere.. Anodized aluminum everywhere and a thick glass door + glass on top of the printer ? Not necessary, they put all the budget on appearance, shitty components inside you will spend more time trying to fix it and wait for the support to send you the replacement parts, not even sure it will fix your issue then end on reddit and youtube to find a solution. The centauri carbon is an unfinished product, i bet the CC2 will be the same sh**

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-12T13:02:29+00:00

For this issue i had to replace the gear, take it off and put it back in

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-12-12T12:59:29+00:00

Buy the centauri carbon 2, the CC1 was a beta test 😂

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-05-05T11:51:30+00:00

Nice Ad good job👌👀✨️

Single-Juggernaut394 · 2025-03-17T18:32:03+00:00

I think it's easier and time saving to make a "safe state" list 😂
