ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 2 Combo 3D Printer Instruction Manual

4.1 Dimensi Fizikal dan Peletakan

Before assembly, ensure you have adequate space for the printer. The ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 2 Combo requires approximately 29 inches of vertical clearance to accommodate the CANVAS system and allow for lid removal. The front-to-back depth is about 16 inches, with an additional 3 inches needed for filament spools and cable management at the rear. The total width, including spool holders, is approximately 22-23 inches.

4.2 Initial Assembly and Self-Check

The printer comes partially assembled. Follow the Quick Start Guide for detailed instructions on attaching the touch screen, filament spool holders, and other components. After physical assembly, the printer will perform an automatic device self-check, including nozzle heating, heated bed heating, fan checks, input shaping, and automatic leveling.

4.3 Loading Filament with CANVAS

The Centauri Carbon 2 Combo utilizes the CANVAS system for multi-color printing. Each filament spool holder is numbered (1-4) and corresponds to an input port on the CANVAS unit. When loading new filament, ensure the end is cut at a 45-degree angle for easier feeding. Insert the filament into the corresponding port on the CANVAS unit. The system will automatically detect and pull the filament. For non-RFID filaments, you will need to manually select the brand, type, and color on the touchscreen.

5.1 4-Color Printing with CANVAS

The CANVAS system enables seamless 4-color printing with instant color switching and smart RFID filament detection. It also features auto-refill and tangle detection to ensure smooth, hassle-free multicolor printing. The printer can automatically purge and swap filaments as needed during a print job to achieve multi-color designs.

7.1 Filament Feed Errors

If you encounter filament feed errors, such as error code 1220 or issues with filament loading/unloading, try the following steps:

1. Turn the printer off and on again.
2. Unload and then reload all four filaments through the CANVAS system interface.
3. Inspect the filament for any cracks or brittleness, especially with older spools. Replace if necessary.
4. Clean the nozzle to ensure there are no obstructions.

7.2 Isu Ketersambungan

If the printer experiences cloud connectivity issues, acknowledging the error on the touchscreen may resolve it. Ensure your internet connection is stable.

7.3 Print Adhesion and Quality

If prints are not adhering to the bed or show signs of stringing, ensure the heated bed is clean and properly leveled. The automatic leveling feature should minimize these issues, but manual inspection of the print surface is always recommended.
