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.


Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo
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.
