Elegoo's Beginner-Friendly Centauri Carbon 2 3D Printer Drops to $369

Elegoo's Centauri Carbon 2 Combo 3D printer falls to $369, nearly $100 off, with JBL, Nintendo and Anker gear also discounted.

The Combo version can run four filament rolls at once. It comes with a fully enclosed printing area, an auto-leveling bed and a large touchscreen for managing projects. The Verge describes it as capable enough for beginners, and for anyone who prints only occasional trinkets and brackets without wanting to spend time tuning settings.

In testing, The Verge found the printer fast and capable out of the box, though first-time setup is somewhat involved; fitting the upper shield together with the filament hub proved difficult. The enclosure helps produce consistent prints, and the auto-leveling bed checks that everything is in the right place before each print. Because the filament rolls are stored on the outside of the machine, the review suggests removing them between uses in humid environments or when the printer is left idle for long periods.

Three other discounts were listed alongside the printer. The purple JBL Go 4 Bluetooth speaker is $15 off at B&H Photo for a limited time, bringing it to $35 once a $5 coupon is applied in the cart; it carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, up to seven hours of playback per charge and USB-C charging.

Nintendo temporarily cut prices on a range of accessories during its "Customer Appreciation" sale. Amazon has the neon purple and orange pair of Switch Joy-Con for $62.97, almost $30 below the list price. The controllers work wirelessly with the Switch 2 as well, though a dedicated charging dock is required.

Anker's Prime Charging Station is $59.99 at Amazon, down from $79.99. The 6-in-1 travel-ready unit has two AC outlets, two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports, with either USB-C port topping out at 140W when it is the only port in use. Its five-foot power cable detaches from the unit for storage.
