No functional testing performed β glass shard cleanup risks damaging Z-screws, fans, belts, motherboard, etc. Purchase only if you're experienced with repairs. Key Purchase Information Listing photos show typical average condition of damaged units β yours may vary slightly. 2-Pack: Paired units with complementary defects β to rebuild 1 fully functional printer out of 2, or replacement parts are on us. 1-Pack: Single defective unit, great as a donor. Leave a note at checkout if you prefer to avoid/deal with specific defects (e.g., frame, hotend, mainboard). Common Issues & Error Codes on Elegoo Centauri Series Most reported problems (from users and Elegoo sources) β many are fixable via cables, parts, or tweaks, but some require mechanical skill: Bad/loose USBC cables β Common cause of 101, 103 errors (heating failures) Freight damage β Bent frames, broken bed brackets, smashed glass doors Booting issues / stuck on input shaper β Usually caused by bent frame misalignment affecting sensors/motion calibration Other frequent codes: 101: Heated bed didn't heat as expected 102/104: Thermistor (NTC) reading anomaly (bed or hotend) 103: Hotend not heating (check USBC cable first!) 502: Leveling sensor data error (loose connection, bad sensor, or tilt) 701: Mainboard fan abnormal 702: Hotend cooling fan (heat-break) abnormal (wiring/connection) Many resolved with cable swaps, part replacements, or firmware reflashes β see Elegoo's wiki for guides. Buyer Beware β Realistic Expectations These are not beginner-friendly plug-and-play units. Expect significant work and potential frustration β only buy if you have solid experience with advanced 3D printer repairs. Common challenges include: Rebuilding or unclogging hotends (often heavily gunked or damaged; may require full disassembly and part swaps). Reflashing or troubleshooting firmware (errors can persist even after updates; custom/community fixes sometimes needed). CoreXY belt tensioning and alignment β Improper tension leads to ringing, artifacts, layer shifts, or failed prints. Mechanical fixes for freight damage (straightening bent frames, replacing brackets, realigning axes β can be time-consuming and may need custom parts). General troubleshooting of fans, sensors, wiring, and motion systems β not quick fixes; debugging required These are serious repair projects for experienced tinkerers. If you're not comfortable with mechanical/electrical work or trial-and-error, consider a new printer instead. Included Accessories (Used, Normal Wear) For 2-pack projects, includes one complete set: 1Γ Power Cord 1Γ PEI Plate 1Γ Touchscreen Controller 1Γ Spool Holder 1Γ Hotend (Rebuilding/cleaning typically required) Centauri Model Comparison β Carbon vs Carbon 2 Both share the same high-speed enclosed CoreXY foundation β Carbon 2 adds major features for multi-color and advanced use.
