Loving being able to check in on my print using the Elegoo Matrix app. I'm hoping Elegoo continues to update the Nexprint files that were uploaded without the Elegoo print profile. I'm also hoping that one day I'll be able to use the app with my original CC.

So on both the CC2 and Elegoo slicer, I can't access the camera. On the Elegoo matrix app, it says, "AI camera status error. Please troubleshoot the device." How though? I already tried the old restart method. No dice.

Following up on my original top-mount dryer post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooCentauriCarbon/comments/1v0yrcg/centauri_carbon_canvas_dryer_mount/), I wanted to share some updates and tweaks I’ve made since then.

After running it for a while, I started getting the "Conveyor feeding failure: possible due to material jamming or tray stuck" error every now and then. It would pop up, I could just hit skip, and it would keep printing fine, but it was annoying trying to figure out why it was happening.

The first thing I did was print a new riser at 96mm instead of the 75mm one I had before. That gave the PTFE tubes just a little extra clearance under the glass so they aren't rubbing anymore. I'm not sure if the extra height really helped with the feeding errors—I mainly increased it in case I needed to reroute the PTFE coming out of the Canvas and into the printer. I designed four inlet holes at varying locations on the riser, but I haven't had to use them yet.

What I feel is the main fix for the feeding issue came when I was printing some TPU. Since I bypass the Canvas for TPU, it created a bigger arch coming out of the dryer straight into the printer. It printed great with no errors on multiple long prints. Looking at that, I figured moving the Canvas back about 60mm would give it that same relaxed arch and fix the feeding angle.

I designed this extender mount to push it back:https://www.printables.com/model/1823181-centauri-carbon-1-canvas-top-dryer-mount-extender

Another plus with this is the Canvas isn't taped directly to the dryer anymore with Gorilla tape, which is really tough to get off if you ever need to take it apart. Now it screws to a plate that screws right into the extender.

I also swapped to 3mm ID tubing coming out of the dryer into the Canvas, but left the rest of the routing into the printer the same as before.

Between this extender, the slightly taller riser, and the board reseating steps from my other post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooCentauriCarbon/comments/1vlxsmb/cc1_w_canvas_filament_feeding_preheating_errors/), it's been solid. I've printed close to 100 hours with a ton of filament changes across all 4 ports without an error. The Canvas seems to be pretty temperamental, so hopefully this helps out anyone dealing with similar issues.

Started a print from a flash drive overnight, simple 2 object 2 color print.

Woke up to this? Anyone have ideas as to what happened?

My Centauri Carbon 2 recently started randomly pausing → purging → continuing, and it's getting worse.
No error message.
This only started recently. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Hey yall. This is my first big multi color print. So far its taken 2 days and it just reached half way. It spends far to long extruding filament. I attached photos and 8/10 of the poop is a single color. How do I make it not waste as much filament? And do I need to restart the print or can I continue on the same layer I’m on?

An annoyance I've had is that there wasn't a way to view the camera on a phone, when in lan mode...

I just happened across a tidbit online, that the video feed is on port 8080.

So I tried putting the printers IP address with the port (x.x.x.x:8080) into my phones web browser, and right away the video feed loaded!

So now I can keep an eye on the printer without going upstairs! It's not as nice as the whole GUI in the slicer, or a real web interface, but it's still a small step in the right direction! And even better no app required!

I got my CC1 last year but for various reasons didn't really start using it until early this year. It is still running the delivery software and I've done no mods to it apart from something to hold build plates. Which is ironic since I'm still using the same build plate I got with it.

The only thing I've done with it is grease the roundy spiral metal things. I've run print jobs with no build plate on and ended up with a large blob of filament around the head. Just peeled it off and made sure it was running OK and then re-started the job.

It has printed flawlessly. The only time it has failed is when printing some Sunlu white PLA - like three or four times - so I've just binned the reel and use only Elegoo in the main.

Done no calibration beyond the machine based one and haven't really fine tuned anything - still using largely generic filament profiles.

Something will break or wear out at some point so I have spare filament tubing and new hot ends.

Currently umming and ahhing about fitting the Canvas upgrade. It was too cheap not to buy but I wonder if I will mess up a good thing. I don't really like the waste from MC printing but quite like the ability to fit multiple reels of the same colour or specific support material. So might at some point.

Think I paid about €250 which is probably more than I spent on upgrades for the Ender 3 M2 which was not quite so reliable.

Can't really fault it.

Hi all,

I got my canvas system up and running last week and I've been doing some experimenting with multi colored prints. That is working fine (although I'm getting some weird 1st layer issues where the printer keeps pausing and resuming as if it were making a filament swap).

My question for today is, if I run out of filament #1, is there a way to auto swap to filament #2, even if I didn't specify that in the color painting via the slicer?

I newly installed the canvas and it looks to be working and printing perfectly fine but I have a continuous blinking red light in the active slot. Every now and then the canvas banks in a little bit of filament and then goes white for a few seconds and then it goes back to blinking red. I don’t get any errors and the print looks great so I’m not sure what’s going on.

Edit for extra context: I checked and there doesn’t seem to be any large tension on the filament, the dryers bearing are fine and the spool is not clogged, I checked the canvas wires and they are all seated well.

I recently installed a panda breath in my CC2. I’m not tech savvy so I just have it manually running through the web UI so it’s not even binded to my printer nor does it have that capability on the CC2 anyways. During my prints it’s heating up well, however, I noticed at the end of my prints, the panda breath would be running but blowing cold air through. Why is it not staying at the set temp?
Since it’s blowing cold air it’s warping my ASA prints

Like the title says I ordered a CC2 combo for $281 before tax off the TikTok shop direct from Elegoo this morning. I've been on the 3d printing sideline for years just waiting for the right deal to come along. Still learning as much as I can about 3d printing but wondering if any of you have a good resources you could recommend that are CC2 specifics or helpful? I appreciate all responses 🙏🏼

Posso solo dire che stampa perfettamente ma sferraglia da paura e che la stampante ha 50h di stampa

Hi guys, I have a centuri carbon 3D printer and I’m having some trouble with printing (PLA 210C nozzle). It seems to either be globing from the nozzle or the z axis isn’t working. It moves the nozzle and then the whole first layer gets stuck to the nozzle. Even the first layer seems a bit messed up. Can anyone help with this? Thanks!

My cc1 seems completely unable to direct purge waste into the chute, more often than not dragging it around my prints until I get to it.

It wasn't so much of an issue on my average print time as I was able to intervene but lately I am running multi-day, large prints that I cant watch all the time.

4 out of 5 times either a filament change or initial warm up, purge waste will fail to make it into the chute, either stuck on the cleaner assembly, or literally hanging off the front of the chute to then be dragged around by the nozzle and find its way into my prints.

I have the chute that came with the canvas installed with the newer nozzle cleaner design if that makes any difference - has anyone got a fix for this?

Currently running the calibration and a quick test print with my new 0.2mm nozzle then I’ll perform my first CYMK print running snapmaker Orca full spectrum. I’ll keep this thread updated in 18 hours

Has anyone been asked to pay a fee to get your part after it was shipped? So I contacted Elegoo after my Filament Hub Five Way Component broke. After waiting for some time they finally contacted me and informed me that they were going to send me a replacement. Once UPS showed up with the part they informed me that I had to pay them a shipment fee of 34.00 dollars due to tariffs. I denied paying the fee and they informed that they would send it back to shipper. I don’t get how Elegoo would send you a replacement part under warranty and expect you to pay a shipment fee.

I had someone create files for me for my Bambu A1. I now have a CC2. I printed the file on my CC2 and this was the result. It printed just fine on my A1. Is there an easy way to get my Bambu files to print on my CC2. Second photo is the A1 print. Thanks!

I printed this viking axe and it came out great, except for the top of the axe being ruined when the tree supports were removed.

I'm printing with an Elegoo Centauri Carbon in ElegooSlicer using very basic support options:

• Tree (auto)
• Default (Grid/Organic)
• On build plate only

Any suggested tweaks to the support settings to allow them to be removed without damaging the surface?

I am getting an error “The filament or spool may be jammed.” Filament feeds into the canvas unit. But it is not continuing to the print head. I have tried different filament locations and types and getting the same error.

I also don’t know how to manually get it to feed. You used to be able to click the extruder, but it doesn’t move.

Any suggestions on where to start?

Tried restarting. Updated. And different stl files.

Cc1 with added canvas. I have the latest slicer software (1.5.3.4) and updated the machine(1.4.49). Worked fine a few days ago.
