How do I set up my file for the Elegoo Centauri Carbon?
Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Elegoo Centauri Carbon and Elegoo PLA picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.
Which build plate should I use?
Elegoo PLA sets a bed temperature for each plate:
- Textured PEI plate: 60 °C
- Smooth PEI plate: 60 °C
- Cool plate: 35 °C
- Engineering plate: not supported
Why is my PLA stringing?
Try 5 to 10 °C below the 210 °C that Elegoo PLA sets, since a cooler nozzle strings less (Prusa Knowledge Base). A spool that has taken on moisture strings badly, so try a dry one (Prusa Knowledge Base).
Why does PLA clog in an enclosed printer?
Elegoo PLA heats the bed to 60 °C, and PLA softens below 60 °C, so Bambu Lab says to open the front door or remove the top glass once the bed passes 45 °C (Bambu Lab wiki).
Where do these values come from?
From the profiles OrcaSlicer ships, read at OrcaSlicer v2.4.2 (8500fcd). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
