ELEGOO says the multicolor system for its Centauri Carbon desktop printer has not yet reached the performance it wants, and it cannot promise a release date. Hardware design is finished and firmware is still being tuned. Owners can claim a coupon or a warranty extension.
Key facts
Multicolor system has no guaranteed release date
Hardware design is finished; firmware is still being optimized
Owners choose one of three offers, claimable from November 10, 2025 to January 31, 2026
CANVAS for Centauri Carbon became available on April 27, 2026
What is the status of the multicolor system?
ELEGOO has worked on multicolor printing for the Centauri Carbon since last year. Hardware limitations mean the system has not met the company's expectations so far. As of January 26, 2026, the hardware design is complete and firmware optimization continues. A filament holder was shown in a video on January 6, and a printer running the system appeared on December 25, 2025. The notice lists CANVAS for the Centauri Carbon as available from April 27, 2026.
What can owners claim?
Buyers of the Centauri Carbon may pick one option: a $50 coupon for filament orders over $100, valid for three months; a 365-day warranty extension excluding consumable parts; or an $80 coupon toward the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo, planned for Q1 2026. Claims ran from November 10, 2025 to January 31, 2026.
What it means
For small companies using desktop printers for prototypes or fixtures, the notice is a reminder not to base purchases on announced add-ons. Capabilities such as multicolor should count only once they ship and have been tested. Compensation of this kind does not replace a working feature, so planning around current, delivered functions is the safer approach.
