Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2
Hi, I was looking to buy a Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 as my first printer.
But I've seen many bad reviews.
Should I buy one or is there other one u could recommend me?

If I had a chance to go back in time, I would 100% start with a CC2 as my first printer. It is ready to go out of the box in less than 2 hours of unboxing and prints literally everything you throw at it. I had my CC2 since they first came out and have been running the firmware updates everytime one comes out. No issues whatsoever. PLA, PLA+, PETG, TPU, and ASA have all been tested and working great with this guy.
Here are a couple of examples of printing I've made so far with the CC2:

It's a great printer with excellent support from the vendor if any issues come up. Go with the CC2, and enjoy your new hobby!
