Just as an update, Elegoo did finally release their multi material solution (canvas). I was ready to get my first printer a few months back but decided to wait for this and also to see what the reviews would be like for the Snapmaker U1 with its multiple heads that can do multi-material with much less waste.

All this stuff isn't so fresh in my head anymore and I need to look into all this again but just wanted to point out Elegoo did release the solution now.

    One more thing, looks like they also have a Centauri Carbon 2 Combo (which includes the Canvas) that can be ordered on their website. It has a funny hat to cover the long tubes!

    Yeah I'm not gonna lie the way they designed this cooled me off the Elegoo a bit, if just because it looks a bit silly haha. But it's still great, my step dad has the CC1 and all his prints are great. I'm more interested in making practical parts (for filmmaking) so really I don't care that much about multi colour but I'm more interested in multi-material (for example so supports can be a different, cheaper filament) and QoL like auto-spool change, and I would still want a multi-colour here and there to make stuff for my kid.

    It's time I look at the whole current landscape again and see if it's time to plunge ;p

    The hat is very funny. I wonder if there will be 3D printable mods that use all that empty space for something (that said, in the 3D printing world, mods for the printers are ubiquitous and I wouldn't be surprised if that is already in the works somewhere)

    Oh, I didn't know that! That's pretty cool. It's on pre-order right now, so it's not properly released just yet, but it's quite close to it! It also looks quite unique, being very tiny without an enclosure or a dedicated spool holder. Perhaps this will make it more reliable (like how the AMS Lite was reported to be more reliable than the enclosed AMS)
