This ceramic heater and thermistor kit is a direct replacement for the heating and temperature sensing components in the Elegoo Centauri and Centauri Carbon hotend. The ceramic heating plate delivers efficient, even heat distribution across the heat block, while the matched thermistor provides precise temperature feedback for stable extrusion during high-speed and high-temperature printing.
If your Centauri is showing temperature errors, slow heat-up, fluctuating nozzle readings, or thermistor faults, this kit restores reliable thermal performance with a straightforward swap.
The heater uses a secure clip-mount design and plugs in via ribbon connectors — no soldering, no crimping, and no loose wiring. This matches Elegoo’s official replacement procedure for a seamless installation that takes minutes.
Temperature error codes, nozzle temperature fluctuating during prints, slow or inconsistent heat-up, thermistor readings jumping erratically, and the printer halting due to thermal safety faults. If reseating the ribbon connector doesn’t resolve the issue, the heater/thermistor is the most likely failed component.
