Yet another new printer - an Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D

[granz]

My son, Ken, has an Ender 3, of which the Neptune 3 is a clone. The printer that I wanted to give to my daughter is that old Neptune 3, that I got from Joe in a trade. Ken likes it, but often talks about how it is a tinkerer's printer. Just this morning, I watched a YouTube Video where the guy talked about the Ender 3, and how it is really a tinkerer's printer. "If you like to tinker, you will really like the Ender 3." Now, my daughter is many things, but a tinkerer she is not. And, she wants her eleven-year-old daughter to run the 3D printing.

So, I decided that, while it's a good printer, I'm not giving that Neptune 3 to my daughter. So, I got back on OfferUp and found a "like new" Centauri Carbon for only $140. So, I put in an offer for it, and he accepted. We are meeting at a KFC which is on our way home from Church, so I don't even have to go out of my way to pick it up.


With all the things going so perfectly (good beginner's printer, great price, not going out of my way to pick it up, all this today,) I think that God wants this printer for my daughter. So, tomorrow, I'll pick it up and Monday I'll put a spool of filament on it to test it. Then, I'll order a selection of filament, like the ones that I got for myself and Peter, and then get it over to my daughter's place and teach my grand-daughter about printing.

Now, back to figuring out what to do with the Neptune - sell it, or fix it up and use it.  I really need to find some way to make some money from my printers. Now that I have an accidental print farm, does anyone need outsourced printing?
