  • I had a Centauri carbon and it was amazing for the price. I printed over 2500 hours on it using strictly pa6-cf, pps-cf, ppa-cf, and pet-gf. I also have a Creality K2 plus and a lot of the times it printed better than the $1500 printer. I sold it after I got a Qidi q2 just because I didn’t really have the space for 3 printers. Now I will say, if you can pony up another $200 the Qidi q2 is a superior printer. This thing just kills it on every print. The heated chamber is amazing on it and heats very quickly. If $300 is your budget though you absolutely can’t go wrong with the Centauri carbon.











  • It’s got a rough texture for sure. Not all pa6-cf has a rough texture though. I’ve been using Jayo pa6-cf and it’s much smoother. Also yxpolyer pa6-cf has the smoothest I’ve seen but it can be a pain to use sometimes. I think it has to do with the size of the carbon fill. I’m pretty sure those 2 cheaper brands use more of a carbon fiber powder where like Fiberon has strands of carbon fiber. I’m sure it affects overall strength too. However the builds Ive used the cheap stuff on are holding up just fine. The cheaper ones tend to warp easier too. Printing and annealing.
