🐼 Elegoo CC1 — Printer / Filament / Process Profiles

This repo contains my personal, battle-tested configuration profiles for the Elegoo Centauri Carbon.
Nothing here is theoretical. Every profile was printed, tuned, cursed at, and validated on my own machine.

The CC1 ships with hardened steel nozzles in 0.2 / 0.4 / 0.6 / 0.8,
but only the 0.4mm nozzle currently has fully tuned profiles.
The other folders are placeholders for future calibration sessions.


📁 Repo Structure

Filament Profiles/
Process Profiles/

Each folder is organized by nozzle size, but again:
0.4mm is the only one with real, tested data right now.

Everything else is scaffolding, not lies.


⚠️ Important Note About Compatibility

All filament profiles in this repository are tuned specifically for Elegoo-branded filaments.
These settings will not match other brands like Sunlu, Polymaker, Overture, Hatchbox, generic PLA, etc.

Elegoo filaments have their own:

  • melt characteristics
  • pigment load
  • additives
  • cooling behavior
  • flow density

Using these profiles on non-Elegoo filament may cause poor results.
If you use another brand, you’ll need to calibrate your own temp, flow, and PA.

These profiles are Elegoo-only by design.


🎯 What’s Tuned Right Now

✔ Printer Profile (0.4mm)

My primary CC1 printer profile tuned for PLA on the stock 0.4mm hardened steel nozzle.

✔ Filament Profiles (0.4mm)

Includes multiple Elegoo PLA colors and Elegoo specialty blends:

  • Marble-filled PLA
  • Wood-filled PLA
  • Bronze-filled PLA
  • Elegoo PLA color sets

Each profile includes tuned:

  • Temps
  • Flow (baseline 0.98)
  • Cooling
  • PA
  • Retraction
  • Realistic speed behavior

✔ Process Profiles (0.4mm)

  • 0.12mm Fine
  • 0.16mm Optimal
  • 0.20mm Standard

These are my everyday workhorses — stable, balanced, and reliable.


🧪 How These Profiles Were Tuned

Calibration was done using:

  • High-resolution microscope inspection (up to 54× magnification)
  • AI-assisted surface and defect analysis
  • Standard calibration tests (temp towers, flow plates, PA tests)

Microscope inspection was used for evaluating:

  • Micro-banding
  • Layer fusion
  • Cooling quality
  • Edge sharpness
  • Surface texture consistency

AI was used for:

  • Flow irregularity detection
  • Layer transitions
  • Subtle extrusion shifts
  • Identifying artifacts invisible to the naked eye

These profiles weren’t tuned by “feel.”
They were tuned with gear, data, and the patience of someone who prints too damn much.


🛠 Why This Repo Exists

  • Backup for all my CC1 configs
  • Easy synchronization across systems
  • A clean baseline for other CC1 users
  • A central place to upload future nozzle/material/process presets

No fluff. No bloat. Just real printer settings.


🚧 Planned Additions

  • 0.2mm / 0.6mm / 0.8mm profiles
  • Other Elegoo filament materials
  • More refined profiles based on additional testing

📥 How to Download Files from This Repository

This guide walks you through three simple ways to download files from this repo — whether you only need one file, the full project, or a stable release.

No GitHub experience required.
No judgment. Just clear steps.


🔹 Option 1 — Download a Single File

Use this if you only need one file.

  1. Click the file you want from the file list.
  2. When the file opens, click “Download raw file” (usually near the top right).
  3. The file will download directly to your computer.

✅ Best for:

  • Single configuration files
  • Individual profiles
  • One-off assets

🔹 Option 2 — Download the Entire Repository

Use this if you want everything in one download.

  1. On the main repository page, click the green Code button.
  2. Select “Download ZIP”.
  3. Once downloaded, unzip the folder anywhere you like.

✅ Best for:

  • Full setups
  • Browsing all files
  • Keeping everything organized

🔹 Option 3 — Download a Release (Recommended)

Releases are packaged, tested versions of the project.

  1. Click “Releases” on the right side of the repository page.
  2. Select the most recent release.
  3. Under Assets, download the .zip or .tar.gz file.
  4. Extract the files like any normal archive.

✅ Best for:

  • Stable versions
  • Plug-and-play use
  • Avoiding experimental changes

🧠 Helpful Notes

  • You do not need Git or special software to download files.
  • If something doesn’t load right away, try refreshing the page.
  • You can always return later to download updated versions.

💬 Need Help?

If something isn’t clear or you get stuck, that’s okay — everyone starts somewhere.
Check the project notes or documentation for updates and guidance.

You’re good to import. 👍


🧩 How to Import Profiles into Elegoo Slicer / OrcaSlicer

Elegoo Slicer and OrcaSlicer handle profile imports the same way, so these steps apply to both.

You can import single files or entire ZIP packages — no unpacking required unless you want to.


🔹 Step-by-Step Import Instructions

  1. Open your slicer (Elegoo Slicer or OrcaSlicer).

  2. In the top menu, click: File → Import → Configs

  3. Browse to the file you downloaded.

  4. Select the file and click Open.

That’s it — the profile will now appear in your available presets.


📦 Supported File Types

You can import any of the following:

  • .json
  • .zip
  • .elegoo_printer
  • .elegoo_filament

You can also import an entire ZIP archive without extracting it first.
The slicer will automatically detect and load all supported profiles inside.


✅ After Importing

Once imported, you can:

  • Select the profile from the dropdown menus
  • Adjust values if needed
  • Save changes under your own custom name

Nothing is overwritten unless you choose to overwrite it.


🧠 Helpful Tip

If you don’t see the profile immediately:

  • Restart the slicer
  • Or switch nozzle sizes and switch back

Some slicers refresh profile lists only after a UI refresh.


💬 Need Help?

If something doesn’t load correctly, don’t stress — it’s usually a simple fix.
Check the repo notes or documentation for updates and clarifications.

You’re good to go. 🚀****
