🆘 Can someone help? (*UPDATE* This is Sorted, Thanks @hurricanewin88)
As shown in the video, I’ve printed this model, but it’s *incredibly weak along the length*.
Even though it prints looking like each section is one piece, it's actually made from two separate parts that are just very closely aligned. So you end up with what looks like solid blade+body parts, but in reality you’ve got two “near-touching” halves per piece.
So, I’m hoping someone can *remix the model* so I can add plastic reinforcement rods down the length.
*What I’m hoping for:*
Is anyone able to *remix this model* to allow *internal reinforcement rods*?
My thinking is:
- *2 long plastic rods* running through the *body*
- *1 rod* running through the *blade*
*Optional extra (if you’re feeling spicy):*
The handle is currently designed to take a threaded rod, but that just glues onto the hilt. A stronger solution would be:
- A recess in the far side of the hilt (the blade side not the handle side) for a chunky *M8 bolt*
- The threaded rod threading through the hilt and into that bolt
- The handle then slides over it
- A second *M8 bolt recess in the pommel*, with a little extra space into the pommel and/or blade for rod length beyond the nut.
If anyone can remix this, I will *happily credit you*, *link your work*, and *thank you in a future video*.

📌 About this review:If you’re searching for a budget CoreXY 3D printer, a Bambu alternative, or an honest look at how Elegoo’s first multicolour FDM system performs in real-world use, this review breaks it down without marketing spin. It covers long-duration prints, filament runout behaviour, multicolour waste, slicer limitations, maintenance access, and whether the Centauri Carbon’s stripped-back approach actually makes sense compared to more expensive machines.
This video also addresses common questions like whether colour changing is worth it for most users, how reliable the automatic filament loading really is, how the printer performs with ABS and PLA, and what you give up in software and usability to hit a lower price point. If you’re comparing CoreXY printers, looking at multicolour printing options, or trying to decide whether to prioritise print quality over automation features, this should help you make that call.
The printer was provided free of charge, and filament was supplied for demonstration prints. There was no payment for this video and no editorial oversight. All opinions are based on extended hands-on use, multi-day prints, and real ownership considerations.
Affiliate links are included in the description. Using them helps support the channel at no extra cost to you.
If you’ve used the Centauri Carbon, are considering colour changing on FDM printers, or have thoughts on where budget CoreXY machines are heading, comments are open and always appreciated.
