Comment on I made a pretty video about the Centauri Carbon

I just bought a Centauri Carbon in December. It was a huge upgrade from my Ender 3 and I love it.
My only complaint is that the nozzle is part of the hot end and cannot be removed. Like many others, I ended up getting a clog that was difficult to remove.
I recommend getting a noclogger to make removing clogs much easier.

What would be the benefit of designing them so the nozzle isn’t replaceable? There are some filaments (i.e. carbon fibre) that are super rough on nozzles and require regular maintenance/replacement.

It’s to force people to buy the whole hotend. More revenue for them. Elegoo has been speed running a race to the bottom in the name of profit, so this isn’t surprising to me at all.
