3 plates ruined
cc1, persisted issue with scratched plates.
I thought it might be faulty levelling sensor, but on another hand it works fine most of the time. Which makes me feel like it might not be (?)
The latest example: yesterday I was printing few prints back to back, left one through the night. This morning I collected the print and pressed print again (with levelling) after what it scratched it again, but after restarting the print it was printing fine, as much as it can on a scratched surface.
Previous times plates were scratched when I didn’t use levelling before printing. I hoped that if I always level before printing it might be safe but I wasn’t.
I don’t know what to do. At the beginning everything was so great, no issues but then after sometime it happened and I keep spending money on new plates.
I would be grateful if someone could explain what’s happening and how to fix it.

Is centaury carbon 2 worth it?
i am thinking of buying the combo as a first 3d printer, is it good for beginner, the only down for me is that it seems like it is really big and tall.

What is happening to my print bed?
I have been printing in PETG on this bed. Some areas on the front side of the bed have developed terrible adhesion. Washing with warm water and soap has produced no change.
In other areas the bed works perfectly. In the picture above, the same shape of printed at the front of the bed (left) and has multiple points of failure. At the back of the bed (right) it prints flawlessly.
I cannot see any visual issues at the front of the bed. Is this just a bed issue and a new bed is needed, or possibly some other issue with the printer?

First layer problems, can you help?
It keeps happening, I've cleaned the plate with water and soap, I've tried glue, I've tried PETG and PLA, both sides of the plates, what's happening?

Octoeverywhere setup questions
One thing I've wanted to be able to do for some time was to monitor my printer remotely. My old printer is a Neptune 3 Pro that I tried and failed to get klipper running through an old laptop running linux that's possibly too old.
I've since upgraded to a Carbon 1 and now I'm looking at Octoeverywhere to get remote control as well as their failure monitoring. Again I tried to use the laptop, but still had no luck. I know I could try a raspberry pi for either of these, but I'm trying to not buy any additional hardware if I can avoid it.
Which brings me to the question...I know I could put the octoeverywhere plugin directly onto the printer to skip the middleman and just have it communicate directly with octoeverywhere without using the laptop middle man. I'm a little hesitant to fiddle with the software on my printer because everything works perfectly and I don't want to mess that up. For anyone that's used octoeverywhere this way, was it hard? Did it cause any problems? Do you recommend it?

Fun Fact: A 2mm drill bit fits perfect through the heat break
My second hotend got jammed and I wasn't ready to buy new ones. Turns out I had a 2mm drill bit on hand we're back in business.

Getting bad first layers on my CC2
Hello, I have around 100h of printing time in my CC2C, everything is fine but now the first layer is not.
The first image is after four 8h prints, then I cleaned the bed sheet with dish soap and warm water, and after that I ran the bed leveling calibration tool 2 times (second image).
I think that the center issue is nozzle too close and in the corners nozzle too far.
How do I solve this? I don't think manually calibrating by testing different nozzle heights will solve the problem if, by default, it ends up being too close in some areas and too far away in others.
Thank you in advance

Rattling Elegoo CC
Been having this awful rattling. Seen other posts on this but nothing seems loose. Heard they are notoriously noisy but this seems odd and hopefully solvable. Any suggestions?

Canvas 9mm tube-holders don't fit the adapter
My canvas came with 9mm tube couplers that don't fit into the 7mm holes in the adapter. Admittedly, the adapter is for the CC2, but I was hopeful.
Is there another adapter that will work with the couplers I have?
UPDATE:
u/Sad_Detective9713 wins with their advice to go to the Elegoo Downloads page. This download has an STL accepts my couplers.
A sad trombone goes out to Elegoo Support, who sent me a slightly snippy-seeming email telling me that there is no difference between the tubes for the CC and the CC2.

Finally Arrived (Another Canvas Post)
It arrived after 3 months. Now, the issue is the number of posts about potential problems, which is discouraging me from installing Canvas. Besides, the printer is working perfectly right now.
What else do I need to consider? Can I install Open Centauri or a patched version of Cosmos? I'll look for the known issues section.
It would be awful to install it and then start having problems.

Cc1 canvas issues continue
Hey everyone!! So after my previous post about layers shifting when printing multicolor, I printed the cutter block thing, Installed it, and nothing has changed. It is still printing a good quarter inch off center after swapping colors. Again, this only happens during canvas printing, I can print one color normally without any issue at all and get perfect prints. Does anyone have a potential next route I should look at doing to fix this? Elegoo support hasn't been very helpful at all, and it is Chinese independence week, so they won't answer till the 8th anyway. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

Where does this go?
I just disassembled the Toolhead of my Centauri Carbon 2, as there was some TPU stuck in the extruder gearbox.
When I took of the top of the gearbox, this small metal piece fell out, and I have no idea where it originated from and I haven't seen a mention of it in the tutorials. I might be blind though.
Does anyone of you have any idea where this goes :D?

Timelapse question!
I've search through this channel and other sites with no success. I recently bought a CC2 and loving it so far, however, I would love to do some Timelapse videos using a remote trigger and DSLR/Mirrorless camera. Not the built in Timelapse feature. I want a high quality mage and the head to return to home in between each layer. Does anyone know if this is possible on this printer?
Any help would be great!
