Bambu Lab P2S vs Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2

  • Build volume is effectively the same on both, near 16.8 L.
  • Per litre, the Centauri Carbon 2 is the cheaper space at $21 against $33.
  • Only the Centauri Carbon 2 publishes a flow rate (32 mm³/s, roughly 400 mm/s of line speed), so the other's speed claim cannot be checked.
