Row-by-row "winner" is decided on the raw number. Cheaper wins on price, higher wins on flow rate, temp, and build volume. A tie or missing data means no highlight. Firmware quality, after-sales support, and reliability aren't in the comparison - they matter a lot and they're hard to quantify, so read the detail pages too.

Frequently asked about this comparison

Which is better, ELEGOO Centauri Carbon or BAMBULAB Bambu Lab P1S + AMS? +

On the spec sheet, ELEGOO Centauri Carbon wins on 1 of 7 comparable rows. That's a spec verdict, not a universal "better" - firmware quality, support and reliability aren't in the comparison and frequently decide the real-world winner.

How do ELEGOO Centauri Carbon and BAMBULAB Bambu Lab P1S + AMS compare on price? +

The two printers are listed on different Amazon marketplaces right now - ELEGOO Centauri Carbon on Amazon.com ($336) and BAMBULAB Bambu Lab P1S + AMS on Amazon.co.uk (£1473). A direct price comparison would need live FX conversion, so treat the spec-sheet verdict as the primary signal here.

Can either the Centauri Carbon or Bambu Lab P1S + AMS print ABS or nylon? +

Not reliably. Neither is enclosed, and ABS/nylon need an active heated chamber for any part bigger than a phone case. For serious engineering materials, look at the /en/best-for/abs-nylon shortlist instead.

Which prints faster, the Centauri Carbon or Bambu Lab P1S + AMS? +

Measured in volumetric flow rate (the actual speed limit on any print), ELEGOO Centauri Carbon pushes 32 mm³/s vs 32 mm³/s. Ignore the headline "500 mm/s" numbers - those are motion-system limits, not print limits.

What isn't covered in this comparison? +

Firmware quality, slicer ecosystem, replacement-parts supply, customer support response time, community size. Every one of those matters more in year two of owning the printer than any single spec-sheet number. Read each printer's full page plus owner reports before committing.
