Artillery M1 Pro S1 vs Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo 3D Printer

Technical comparison · Fused filament fabrication (FFF/FDM)

In brief

M1 Pro S1 is the best value for money in its class. M1 Pro S1 leads on the available specs (starting with price); Centauri Carbon 2 Combo 3D Printer makes sense only for non-technical reasons (availability, support, ecosystem), or if the missing data matters in your case.

Software notes Native Klipper firmware with Moonraker API. Recommended web interfaces: Mainsail or Fluidd. Compatible with standard slicers: UltiMaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, IdeaMaker, Simplify3D. No proprietary software required. Unlimited root access: the user can modify configurations without restrictions. The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market. The manufacturer recommends using Elegoo Slicer, specifically optimized to leverage the CoreXY kinematics, multi-color printing via the CANVAS system, and vibration compensation algorithms (Input Shaping). Alternatively, popular slicers like Orca Slicer and Cura can be used, offering broad flexibility to users who prefer established workflows. The integrated dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity allows direct transfer of G-code files to the 8 GB internal memory without physical cards, while the internal camera enables remote monitoring and time-lapse video recording, simplifying the management of the printing process even from a distance.
