Recoloured Centauri Carbon touchscreen

How it works

No flashing, no firmware swaps. CC Studio talks to your printer over SSH, uploads your files to the places the screen reads them from, and reboots it. Everything stock stays safely in the printer's read-only layer, so it can always be restored.

01

Connect

Enter your printer's IP address in Settings (the password is OpenCentauri's default) and press Test connection. If anything is off, Fix sorts it.

02

Design

Make a boot animation, pick a boot logo, or choose a theme colour. Every tab shows a live preview before anything touches the printer.

03

Install

Press Install now. CC Studio uploads, checks and (optionally) reboots your printer. Don't like it? The Restore tab undoes it all.

Boot animation

Your own start-up movie

Turn any video, GIF or set of pictures into the 100-frame animation shown while the printer starts.

  • Use an MP4 or GIF as the background, or build from scratch
  • Progress bar and effects drawn on top, with live preview
  • Choose how pictures fit the screen: fill, fit or stretch
  • Ready-made animation included so you can start in seconds
  • Exports exactly what the printer expects (frames 1001–1100)

Boot logo

Replace the logo on boot

Pick a ready-made logo or load your own picture. CC Studio crops and converts it to the exact format the printer needs (24-bit 480×272 BMP), then installs it.

  • Ready-made logos included
  • Any PNG or JPG, resized automatically
  • Preview before installing
  • Restore the stock logo from the Restore tab

Colour theme

Recolour the entire interface

The stock touchscreen is green. Pick any colour and CC Studio shifts every green icon, button and highlight to match, while keeping whites and greys untouched so it still looks clean.

  • All stock icons recoloured, including ones other tools miss
  • Screen layout recoloured, so the Canvas page, buttons and text follow your colour
  • Optional advanced mode also recolours colours built into the screen program itself (off by default)
  • Brightness and saturation sliders with live preview

Restore

One click back to stock

Tick what you want back and press Restore. Each item is compared with the printer's untouched stock copy, so it only changes what you actually changed.

  • Animation and all icons
  • Screen layout
  • Screen program (if the advanced option was used)
  • Boot logo
  • Optional reboot afterwards

Settings and tools

Set up once, then forget it

  • Printer IP, user and password saved in the app
  • Test connection checks the printer is reachable
  • Fix repairs common problems
  • Screenshot button captures the printer's screen: save as PNG or copy to clipboard
  • Choose your own icons folder

Built to be safe

CC Studio never flashes firmware. Stock files live in the printer's read-only layer and your changes sit on top, so removing them returns the stock file. The printer's SSH service runs separately from the touchscreen, so even if a change looks wrong on screen you can still connect and restore it. The risky advanced screen-program patch is off by default and checks the file's fingerprint first, skipping itself if it isn't the exact stock version.

Questions

Quick answers.

Which printer does it work with?

The Elegoo Centauri Carbon running OpenCentauri firmware.

Does it work on my firmware version, and without a Canvas unit?

CC Studio was built and tested on one Centauri Carbon running OpenCentauri. The Canvas page is part of the printer's own screen files, so it is recoloured whether or not you have a Canvas unit. The screen layout and screen program recolours only apply when the printer's file exactly matches the stock version they were made for; on a different firmware version those parts are skipped safely. The icon recolour, boot animation, boot logo and Restore tab don't depend on that, so you may get a partial recolour on other versions.

Does it work on Mac or Linux?

The download is a Windows app (Windows 10/11).

Do I need to install anything?

No. Unzip the folder and run CC Studio.exe. Your PC and the printer just need to be on the same network.

Can I undo everything?

Yes. Open the Restore tab, tick what you want back and press Restore.

Is it free?

Yes. It is a community project, not affiliated with Elegoo or OpenCentauri. Use at your own risk.

The printer asks for a different password

Change it in the Settings tab to match your printer.
