I've seen vented risers on printables for the cc1. I've done some research it seems the size is different from cc1 to cc2, I have the cc2. That said any files similar for the cc2 that takes the top glass removal out of the equation, gives the PTFE tube room. I also dont run the canvas just single spool

My new Century Carbon 2 is being delivered this week. I was interested to get some tips and tricks you would suggest for optimal results. I have experience with basic stuff from my years of using an Ender 3, but this seems to have a lot more capabilities.

Also, are there any upgrades you would recommend me buy and/or print to improve the experience. I know with my Ender, I printed a lot of upgrades!

Thanks for the feedback. Very excited to see what this thing can do.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know why there isn’t a dedicated profile for Rapid TPU 95A in ELEGOO Slicer?

It seems a bit strange to me that ELEGOO sells Rapid TPU 95A, but there’s still no proper profile for it in their own slicer. You’d expect the material they sell themselves to be supported and have optimized settings available.

Is there a specific reason why the profile hasn’t been added yet? Or is there an equivalent TPU profile that works well with Rapid TPU 95A?

Has anyone found good settings for it, or an official profile somewhere?

Thanks!

I just bought a Centauri Carbon 2 a few days ago. I set it up as specified in the the manual. I've been using the Orca Slicer and Elegoo Slicer and i even printed 3 items. I tried printing a scraper and started getting Error Code 1243

I've removed each filament twice

Cleaned the nozzle 3 times with the needle, torch, and a brush

I've reset the machine

The machine went through a print and extruded nothing on the plate but plenty during "poop" and purge

Still get the code

I have had my cc2 combo for about a month now, and have really enjoyed it so far - very little issues printing anything I can design in PLA and PETG.

I have recently started experimenting with ASA - for outdoor model railway scenery, as I feel like it will be a bit more robust with regards to getting flexible out in the sun. I had one thing I printed in PETG that turned into a banana after a few hours out in the sun while I was painting it outside :(

My larger prints in ASA all seem to have some level of warping, the corners lift up at some point in the print. I have tried tweeking a lot of things, and my design, but overall I think it happens because my chamber temperature is a bit low (40-45 degrees if I preheat for 20 mins with the bed at 110).

Also I noticed whenever a print finished the enclosure fan ramps up to 100% for a while... Is there any way to disable this to allow the print to cool more slowly.

Anyhow I am thinking about adding a chamber heater, and so far I have thought about these options - PandaBreath, Creality Chamber Heater, Chitu Systems Mini Heater, or building something myself with a aliexpress ptc + fan + ssr + esp32.

Does anyone have any experience to share with any of these options?

Does getting the chamber temp up from ~40º to 60º make a big difference to warping when printing large ASA parts?

Hey everyone, I’m having a lot of trouble getting consistent bed adhesion with ABS and could use some advice.

I preheat my chamber to around 50°C using a hair dryer because I’m trying to avoid the chamber being too cold. I also clean the build plate thoroughly with dish soap and isopropyl alcohol before printing.

The problem is that sometimes the print sticks perfectly, but other times the ABS starts lifting off the plate mid-print and eventually turns into a mess.

What would you recommend for getting better and more consistent ABS bed adhesion? Are there specific bed temperatures, adhesives, build plate surfaces, or other settings that have worked well for you?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I am having a weird issue with the purging of filaments with the CC1 and Canvas installed.

When changing from Filament 2 to 1, it does the swap process and a quick purge then it continues printing.

When changing from Filament 1 to 2 however... It does the swapping then purges. Then purges again. Then purges again. Then purges again. Most of the time it starts printing now, but every so often it will continue to purge upwards of 8 times before it FINALLY starts the print.

I just tried re-slicing the model with a prime tower and had it flush into the infill, but the exact same behaviour of a purge loop happened making the tower an even bigger waste of filament.

I thought it might have been a tension issue as I noticed spool holder was much tighter than the rest and the feeder at the hotend would compress down. I loosened that as much as I could and even put the filament on external rollers that I use for super soft TPU that has no resistance to speak of, and it kept happening.

I've reached out to support to see if they can offer any insight, it is just so annoying to see my poop bucket filled with so many purges of the 1 filament. I am burning through it just on purges and if it will be doing that I won't be using the canvas, I would rather manually swap and save the filament.

Any one else run into this and come up with a solution?

EDIT: I played with some settings and it looks like the issue is coming from the Elegoo slicer itself. I moved the purge to into the prime tower and when printing with White and Black, the slicer is purging 3 times the volume of filament in just purges compared to the model and well more than 3 times as much as the black.

Changing the filament from white to a dark red cut the filament usage dramatically

I have been using Orca but switched to Elegoos now that I have the Canvas. Is this a setting that I can change anywhere to just a fixed purge operation? I did a print a while back with manual tool changes and never found I needed to purge more than once for any filament. And I was going from red to white to blue to copper to transparent yellow, never needed to do anymore than the 1 load purge.

I want to disable the prime tower and only do the loading purge and nothing else. Where can I do this?
