The Elegoo Centauri Carbon, a budget-friendly Core XY 3D printer has been popular in 2025. It seems that in 2026, Elegoo will launch the Centauri Carbon 2, which, according to the official images, has a multi-material system (AMS / MMU depending on brand) for multi-color printing.
Price and release date are still a mystery. The only vague date that we have is Q1 2026 which comes from a press release regarding a delayed release date for a multi-color print upgrade for the original Centauri Carbon.

In the machine translated official product page we can see the familiar Centauri Carbon design, but with four spools of filament, feeding into a series of tubes for multi-material printing. The large plastic “hat” casts an imposing shadow over an already large printer. This system is seemingly called “CANVAS” and the design of the filament path looks less clunky than other systems. We’ll have to wait and see how it handles in the real world.
