I have a Sovol SV06+ currently but I'm interested in switching to an enclosed core XY printer for engineering filaments like PPA-CF. I've been looking at the Centuri Carbon, Qidi Q2, or a used Bambu P1S and modifying it to get a higher hot end temp. Would the CC be sufficient to print PPA-CF well or should I spend the more money on a different printer?

I have the Centauri Carbon and in my opinion it is definitely worth what I paid for it, and there have also been some recent sales on it you might can find. The OpenCentauri group in discord just released an open source firmware for it like last week and it’s flawless and took maybe 5 minutes to set up. Plus AMS is coming later this year or early next year if that matters to you, but also if you print the vented riser for it then it is very good for printing Nylons and PETG and anything else you want a warmer chamber temp for, plus more upgrades for it are coming soon now that it’s open sourced, and I’m hoping an easy chamber heater is one of them for added ease.
