Spec source: https://us.elegoo.com/products/centauri-carbon-2 — accessed 2026-09-05. The load-bearing spec strings on this page were found verbatim in the fetched manufacturer page and are re-checked every refresh. Fields the manufacturer does not state are shown as “not stated”, never guessed.

Where to buy: Elegoo's official store or the usual large retailers carry the Centauri Carbon 2 — this site deliberately links to neither until its price data can pay for itself; the spec source below is the manufacturer's own page.
