| Extra features | The Longer LK4 is a versatile 3D printer capable of working with a wide range of filaments, such as PLA, ABS, TPU, copper, wood and carbon fiber, thanks to its 0.4mm nozzle and heated bed up to 110°C. With a printing accuracy of between 0.05-0.4mm, it stands out for its solid construction with an aluminum frame, weighing around 7kg, and a robust 24V and 15A power supply. The kit includes an Allen key, a 7/10 key, a microSD card with USB adapter, a spatula, cable ties, a power cable, 5m of filament and a spare filament end sensor. Assembly is simplified, with around 90% of the equipment pre-assembled, and detailed instructions assist in the process. Special features include print recovery after power failure, a filament end sensor, a super-adhesive printing surface and an intuitive color touchscreen display. The design features smooth profiles for easy assembly, and the position of the filament holder optimizes the filament path to the extruder. The LK4 is a solid choice for 3D printing enthusiasts looking for quality and versatility. | The Elegoo Centauri Carbon is a CoreXY 3D printer with an enclosed structure, direct drive extruder, and hardened steel components for abrasive materials. It features automatic bed leveling, a touchscreen, a filament cutting system, and an elongated nozzle designed to reduce clogs. It offers Wi-Fi connectivity for remote file transfer and runs on a Klipper-based firmware, providing advanced control and precise adjustments. |
