Elegoo hardware delivers excellent results — the Centauri Carbon is reliable, well-built, and capable of high-quality prints with consistency. The main limitation is the slicer, which feels underdeveloped compared to OrcaSlicer. That said, you cannot beat the price for a first machine, and it competes closely with the Bambu P1P in print quality and performance. Long-term durability is still to be proven, but overall it offers strong value for the cost.
