If the high price tag of premium 3D printers have kept you from exploring the hobby, this deal is a great entry point. Elegoo has its Centauri Carbon 2 Combo on sale for $369, almost $100 off its usual price of $449. This capable 3D printer can handle four filament rolls at once, with a fully enclosed printing area, auto-leveling bed, and big touchscreen for easy project management. It’s altogether very capable 3D printer for beginners, or just anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time tinkering with settings just to print occasional trinkets and brackets.
The Centauri Carbon 2 is fast and capable right out of the box, though first-time setup is a little involved (I found it tough to get the upper shield and filament hub to fit together, for example). But I really like its fully-enclosed build area, which results in consistent prints, and the auto-leveling bed checks that everything is locked in the right place before each print. It’s worth noting that the filament rolls are stored externally, so if you’re in a particularly humid environment and don’t print often, you may want to remove them between uses.

longDescription:
“Most staplers give you no information until the moment they fail. The HOTO Pulse tracks your remaining staples in real time, confirms when it is ready to fire, and handles four staple and nail types so one tool covers more of your projects. A built-in remover means quick fixes happen on the spot. Compact, lightweight, and genuinely useful.”,
