Elegoo Centauri Carbon

Budget single-color CoreXY workhorse — CoreXY kinematics (faster/more accurate than basic bed-slinger designs), 500mm/s max toolhead speed, ready for carbon-fiber-reinforced filaments out of the box.

Independent reviews (TechRadar) specifically praise it as competitive with printers costing 2-3x more — genuinely unusual capability at this price tier.
