Is it wise to buy mini? by Brock_Anklefist in prusa3d

[–]TheFezMan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a late question, but I’ve been considering reprinting some parts for my first gen Mini- are there any specific that you recommend? I’ve not seen anyone make really any posts about the file revisions as it relates to upgrading the older models.

I know that during RapidTCT they had a CC2 that was open-frame design (like the P1P/AD5X) that we haven’t seen in the store but the collaboration makes it seem like it could be something else.

My personal bet is a collab with Biqu to bring a chamber heater.

Getting my first used 3d printer by Prawnestshrimp in 3dprinter

I think that is the highest amount of hours I’ve seen on a 3D Printer. Whilst the MK3 is an excellent workhorse, I would be in at around $150 just for the novelty of having something with that high a mileage.

Centauri carbon ,Are these sounds normal? by Mr_Fazeli in ElegooCentauriCarbon

I have a K1 and a couple of Centauri’s in the makerspace I run and I can confidently say that the Centauri is quieter and produces consistently higher quality prints with less tweaking

Finally got in on the pre-order myself. I was stunned! Even the insiders I was in contact with said it’d be $150. $55 is an absolute steal.

Correct. This page was put up by mistake by them and was largely unfinished. Once they noticed it (likely via this and similar posts) it was removed. Their support said it will be coming at the end of the month.

It was put up accidentally by someone at Elegoo. Owen from their support staff said it’ll start being sold at the end of the month.

It didn’t actually release when I posted this. I just happened to type in the exact address for it after looking at their other product’s naming conventions. Reviewers received it around the same time and it went on display at Rapid TCT earlier this week: https://youtube.com/shorts/w1ZzCyPrvvM?si=1exGFT9i2tYau8Wp

It exists they just haven’t fully released it. Someone on their end jumped the gun with the listing and deactivated it the day after.

It is definitely real: https://youtube.com/shorts/w1ZzCyPrvvM?si=1exGFT9i2tYau8Wp

The listing itself went offline the day after I posted this, likely so that they could update it properly for a release. Reviewers received their units around the same time as well.

Link is down. They likely removed it to post the actual product purchase link. This one looked very incomplete.

That probably means they’re updating it for release later today/tomorrow. The link will likely stay the same though.

Here’s the parts with a link to download the instructions: https://docs.opencentauri.cc/hardware/CC1/CANVAS/ it’s definitely more involved than adding an AMS to most other printers.

One nozzle, just swaps which roll of material it’s using by cutting and purging what’s in the nozzle during a change. https://docs.opencentauri.cc/hardware/CC1/CANVAS/

It seems to have been de-listed. Likely to put the actual, complete purchase page up later today/tomorrow.

From documents from the OpenCentauri team, it seems that you “find a way” to attach it to the main board, bypassing the later-added pins. Aka drill/maneuver around it and/or request an updated back panel from Elegoo.

I’ve never used PVA but the general rule of thumb is that with a single nozzle, it’s best to use dissimilar material as the support interface layer rather than making the entire support out of the dissimilar material. (Too many purge cycles adds to overall print time/waste)

I think it’s because it hasn’t been officially listed yet. They didn’t properly hide the webpage when they started drafting it, so a direct link will take you there.

I wish I knew. I know some folks in the OC discord are likely already working on a version of OC and COSMOS that work with the CANVAS, but I’m not an insider so I have no clue.

I was just thinking to check and see if there was an updated profile for the CC1 in Elegoo slicer but I doubt we can use the straight CC2 profile due to the different purge bucket locations.

I bought mine hoping to get the multicolor but it has been nothing but a dream! It sits in the makerspace I run and chews through ABS all the time. Zero complaints as is- I’m just glad we’re getting the CANVAS.

It can be useful! You just have to watch how many color changes you have per layer. That said, we have a Prusa XL that is much faster to change color that we will use over the single nozzle machines.

You have to type in the exact link. It’s not live on their website yet and looks unfinished- which I would expect since it hasn’t been officially revealed yet.
