| Software notes | Artillery OS, a Klipper-based system. Compatible with standard slicers like Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer via G-code. Supports Wi-Fi transfer, SD card and touchscreen control. Compared to closed platforms, it allows advanced adjustment of printing parameters, but lacks a native cloud ecosystem and requires manual slicer configuration. | The proprietary Elegoo OS, built on Klipper architecture, manages full-auto calibration routines and AI-assisted monitoring. The machine is primarily supported by Elegoo Slicer (an Orca Slicer derivative), ensuring optimal control over material profiles and dynamic color changes. Users can also natively use Orca Slicer or export G-code from third-party alternatives like Cura. The intuitive touchscreen and Wi-Fi connectivity enable seamless remote management and direct job queuing over the local network. |

Which one to choose
Choose Artillery M1 Pro S1 if…
you value price, max print speed and max bed temperature. «The rated maximum speed indicates the theoretical hardware limit, not the everyday working speed. Faster machines reduce print times on simple geometries, but real-world speed depends on material, geometry, required surface finish, and slicer settings. Values above 200–300 mm/s are meaningful only on machines with CoreXY kinematics, active input shaping, and a stiffened mechanical frame.»
Choose Centauri Carbon 2 if…
you value native klipper. «Klipper is an open-source firmware that offloads trajectory calculations from the microcontroller to a host computer, enabling all advanced features including input shaper and pressure advance. Native support eliminates the need to replace the firmware, a process that voids the warranty on some machines. Relevant for users who intend to tune advanced parameters; for basic use the difference from Marlin is minimal.»
