3D Printers:

Elegoo Centauri Carbon – A fast, fully enclosed CoreXY 3D printer that gives you a lot of features for the money. It has a 256 x 256 x 256mm build volume, print speeds up to 500mm/s, automatic calibration, a built-in camera, Wi-Fi, and a 320°C hotend. The enclosed design also makes it a great option if you want to print more than just PLA and PETG, including ABS, ASA, and carbon-fiber-filled filaments. I’ve used a lot of 3D printers, and what I like about the Centauri Carbon is that it’s easy enough for a beginner while still giving you plenty of room to experiment with more advanced materials and upgrades later on.

Flashforge Creator 5 – This is one of the most interesting multicolor 3D printers I’ve used because it takes a completely different approach to changing colors. Instead of feeding multiple filaments through one nozzle, the Creator 5 uses four independent toolheads that it automatically swaps between while printing. That means faster color changes and way less of the filament waste you normally get with multicolor printing.
