This is something people miss about new stuff as reviewed by content creators. All the reviews for all the printers I’ve seen were all “this printer is good” which is far from true. And also due to content creator race to be “on the wave” no content creator has enough time to go through usual work period and “break-in” of the machine.
What I’ll be looking for will be regarding issues in 6 months time from the deliveries of printers with initial issues fixed. This means that if Elegoo CC starts shipping in 31st May, 1st production printers will reach consumers by mid June, the break-in period will last 6-8 weeks for most (if I remember correctly tons of issues with Creality K1 were detected within 3 weeks of them reaching consumers) so that means by August 1st to have 1st decent info. For me that means that by August one should have enough info for deciding whether to “impulse-buy” Elegoo Centauri Carbon and by Feb 2026 buying Centauri Carbon would be an informed decision.
Additional thing is multi material system - I like the AMS and convenience it brings. Lack of MMS on launch is understandable, but that’s a big added value that comes with it’s own set of problems.
