In the next month or so, I'm adding either an Elegoo Centauri Carbon or a Sovol SV08 3D printer to my "print garden." I have 2 workman-like Creality Ender 3 Max V3 machines but I need something capable of a bit more size and speed for the projects of this year, including petg-cf lugged carbon fibre tubing bike and trike experiment (looking into whether these technologies can build more than just handlebars, the FDM especially) and prototyping lug designs for printing in metal from an online supplier of metal prints. It's about pushing engineering limits in a scientific and reproducible way to see how close we are to home manufacturing real world, real life, industrial scale machinery.

I'm leaning towards the Sovol because it has a bigger build space, nearly 100mm each way more than the Elegoo. However, it allegedly (and audibly on youtube reviews) more cooling fan noise. This is fixable, but voids the warranty, so that's 12 months of having a jumbo jet equivalent in my workshop. The Elegoo seems quieter on video reviews but it's smaller, as mentioned. I can manage with smaller, because it's still bigger than either Ender 3, but I'd relly like to see a head-to-head review between the 2, just so I can assess which is the best. So I googled...


Google's least finest hour, another AI f-AI-l. The Centauri Carbon is a filament printer, just like the Sovol.

And people wonder why I'm not interested an Bambu Labs printer or a Creality K1 Max. There's a reason fail is spelled with an A and an I...
