ELEGOO Centauri Carbon vs BAMBULAB Bambu Lab P1S
Head-to-head on live prices and the specs that matter. Green cell on each row means that printer is genuinely better at that thing.
Wins on 2 of 8 comparable rows. Worth noting: the headline result doesn't capture firmware polish, support quality, or reliability, which frequently decide the real-world winner.
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.

Can either the Centauri Carbon or Bambu Lab P1S 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? +
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.
