What works with SimplyPrint

Connected through SimplyPrint Client, SimplyPrint supports everything the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon lets other software do: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, skipping objects, temperature and movement control and AutoPrint. The only exceptions are what the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon doesn't let other software do: baby stepping, send G-code, change filament, bed leveling and Z-Offset Calibration.

What filament can the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon print?

Filament compatibility for the ELEGOO Centauri Carbon: the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure.

Filament Suitability Notes
PLA Great The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required.
PETG Great Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed).
TPU & flexibles Great The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results.
ABS & ASA With care The bed is hot enough, but ABS and ASA warp without an enclosure, which is strongly recommended for clean prints.
Nylon (PA) With care Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential.
Polycarbonate (PC) With care On the edge - PC really wants an enclosed, hot chamber to avoid warping.
Carbon-fiber & glass-filled With care Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle.

Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.
