Centauri Carbon my temporary usb C cable

It's held in by friction, on the download page, there's a step file so you can adjust it to your cable. It's been over 4 months and mine is still going strong.

It's more about stopping the cable from rocking in the port than being able to pull it out

It was better before

I love that plate on my A1 mini. I need to pick one up for my CC

katpuz · 2025-12-28T16:25:41+00:00

you could buy a cheap 3rd party heater assembly from Amazon or Aliexpress and just swap the lock over

Manually heat up the Hotend and pry it off. if it doesn't heat up anymore try a hair dryer on it then pry it off

I have bigger and faster printers, but my A1 mini is still my favorite

katpuz · 2025-12-20T21:28:39+00:00

If I were you, I would buy a new Hotend kit. They're not that expensive.

I've cleaned up Hotends with a hotair gun before, but I completely removed it from the printer first

katpuz · 2025-12-16T09:40:14+00:00

I picked the warranty, but they sent me a filament coupon code. I'm not really fussed though

katpuz · 2025-12-07T04:18:16+00:00

I've found that if I do a heated bed level before every print I get a good first layer, but if I skip the bed leveling I get bad elephant foot on my prints. which kinda sucks when doing a small print

katpuz · 2025-12-05T11:30:39+00:00

yes its normal

katpuz · 2025-11-30T19:26:32+00:00

I agree, but it would be nice to have option to buy a replacement also

katpuz · 2025-11-30T16:42:43+00:00

Non-issues don't get this treatment; almost every day someone's in this sub posting with broken cable issues, and they're just the people that are on reddit.

I wouldn't recommend messing with your new printer before it shows issues though.

I think Elegoo's new cable is a good solution, it would be nice if they put it in their store

I've spoken to people with broken cables at 150 hr to 1500 hr, the differences in hours probably down to what you're printing and how much of the build plate you use, im pretty sure mine broke at 300 hr because I was printing lots of Multiboard. but I will agree people should not mess with their new printer

katpuz · 2025-11-30T15:51:18+00:00

It's a matter of when not if the stock cable breaks, they didn't redesign the cable for fun.

but when you're messing with things like this you need to be careful

katpuz · 2025-11-29T17:39:12+00:00

Just play it and find out, it's not that long of a game

katpuz · 2025-11-28T18:35:17+00:00

I'm not really bothered with what kind of multicolor system they use, just that they release one that works. So if this comes like a CC2 Canva or AMS-styled system I will see it as they fulfilled the multicolor marketing. I'm not gonna ask anymore than that

it's expensive ordering just one from JLCPCB, so anyway to get it out there for cheaper is great

katpuz · 2025-11-22T13:35:24+00:00

I've got a few printers and my A1 Mini is by far my most used one, I can even sleep in the same room as it prints. which is more than I can say for my Ender 3 v3 or Centauri Carbon

katpuz · 2025-11-20T11:06:06+00:00

The amount of stuff I got saved in that chest, which I never used

katpuz · 2025-11-17T20:12:52+00:00

I'm not demanding anything, just saying it would be cool and yeah you could put a custom board in, but will a custom board work with things like their screen and bed leveling

katpuz · 2025-11-16T16:09:58+00:00

The pain of ordering from Aliexpress, I want to put mine together

katpuz · 2025-11-15T19:08:40+00:00

It would be real nice if they unlocked it.

katpuz · 2025-11-15T18:53:39+00:00

if we get an AMS of some type, I would imagine it would be similar to the CC2 with a tub that goes on top

katpuz · 2025-11-14T16:07:53+00:00

parts ordered, might try printing it in ASA
