3D printing just got a little more expressive.
ELEGOO has partnered with the emoji® brand to launch what's being called the world's first co-branded 3D printer. The new Centauri Carbon 2 Combo features a custom silver-and-white design, an emoji-themed user interface, and official emoji 3D models ready to print out of the box.
Priced at $489, the special edition is based on ELEGOO's flagship consumer printer and will be available in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the U.K.

Why It Matters
At first glance, this looks like a fun collector's edition—but it represents a bigger shift in the 3D printing market.
Manufacturers are increasingly trying to make 3D printers feel less like workshop tools and more like everyday consumer products. Collaborations like this could help introduce an entirely new audience to the hobby.
Our Take: We definitely didn't have an emoji-branded 3D printer on our 2026 bingo card. Whether you love the design or not, it's another sign that 3D printing is becoming more mainstream—and honestly, that's good news for everyone.
