An Option for Options
Elegoo’s multicolor add-on for the Centauri Carbon is finally here.

It's the real deal, launching last week after a short debut at Rapid + TCT. The Canvas filament changer unit – along with all the components needed for the upgrade – costs $55 from Elegoo's webstore. If you order one now, though, you’re in for a wait. Lead times have ballooned; first-batch orders ship this month, but an order placed today won’t leave Elegoo's warehouse until late August. Oof.

Hardware Drop
Bambu Lab's homepage has transformed

alerting us to a printer launch under the banner "Xcellence made simple." There have been leaks and speculation, and with the sunsetting of the X1 series the other week an X-shaped void which looks like it will be promptly filled. Could this be the X2D?

Probably. We see two hot ends, like the H2D, as well as a shape that sticks out like the X1's lidar unit. What else can we expect? At a guess, the chamber cooling and heating system introduced in the H2D, a 256mm³ build volume, plus the full camera suite for print quality monitoring. We'll know for sure come April 14, 10 AM EDT.
