Centauri Carbon 2 Enclosure Table — Workstation Stand

You paid for the doors. Leave room to open them.

The Centauri Carbon 2 Combo enclosure has 19-inch doors on both side panels. That's why the access is so good — and it's worthless the moment the enclosure gets wedged between a wall and a shelf, which is where most of them end up.

Access is a siting problem, not just a footprint problem. A surface that technically fits the 24 × 23.5 inch base but buries either flank has cost you the main feature of the enclosure: you'll be tilting the machine out to do what a door was built to do in place.

The right question isn't "does it fit on the bench" — it's "can I still use everything I bought once it's up there." This table is sized and sited for the answer to be yes.

Cut to your enclosure. Not to a category.

The top extends exactly half an inch past the enclosure on every side. Enough overhang to level, latch, and grip. Not so much that you've bought a piece of furniture you have to find room for.

• Centauri Carbon 2 — 25" × 24.5" top, 28" height. Fits the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo enclosure at 24 × 23.5 × 31.5 in, with both 19" side doors free to swing.

The 28-inch frame matters here too: a 31.5-inch enclosure on a standard 30-inch bench puts the top above eye level. On this table the whole machine stays where your hands and eyes already are.

See the full enclosure table fitment guide for every machine we build for.

Built on 40-series black aluminum extrusion with cast corner brackets and M8 hardware — the same structural system used for CNC machine frames and industrial workstations. The top is 3/4″ melamine: flat, sealed, wipes clean, and won't telegraph a heat cycle the way a raw wood top will.

Rated for what's actually on it

A tall CoreXY, its enclosure, and a loaded spool rack are more than a side table was ever asked to hold. This frame is specified for a 120 lb working load with margin for motion — because the number that matters isn't what the table holds sitting still, it's what it holds while a fast machine throws mass around on top of it.

Four leveling feet handle a floor that isn't as flat as you think it is. A machine that rocks a millimeter is a machine that ghosts.

The air you're standing in

An enclosure contains fumes and ultrafine particles. It does not make them disappear. If you run ABS, ASA, or nylon, where the exhaust goes and whether the hose reaches a window or a filter without a kink are decisions that get made at the bench, not in the slicer. This frame stays out of the way of both: an open structure that never pinches a hose, T-slot channels on every rail for cable and duct management, and a footprint that lets the enclosure — not the table — decide how much room the 4-inch run gets behind it.

Optional: locking enclosed compartment

Add a fully enclosed mid-shelf with clear acrylic panels and a cam lock. Filament, dryers, nozzles, tools, and spares stay visible, dust-free, and secured.

If you run this machine in a classroom, a shared lab, a makerspace, or any shop where more than one person walks past it, you already know why that's on the list. Consumables walk. This is the version of the answer that doesn't involve a plastic bin and hope.

It outlives the printer

Your Centauri Carbon 2 will not be your last machine. Two years from now there's a faster one with a different footprint, and the bench you bought for this one is either the right size by luck or it's scrap. Extrusion doesn't work that way. Every surface of this frame is a mounting rail. Re-drop the T-nuts, move a rail, add a shelf, hang a spool holder, bolt on a monitor arm, restretch it for the next machine. It reconfigures because it was designed to be reconfigured.

You're not buying a table for a printer. You're buying the bench that survives the next three.

Ships flat. Assembles with one hex key.

Every extrusion arrives cut to final length, deburred, and labeled, with the leg bores already tapped for the feet. The top and shelf come CNC-cut with the mounting holes counterbored. Brackets, T-nuts, and hardware are counted and bagged by step. Flat-pack keeps the freight sane and keeps the price honest — you're paying for aluminum and precision, not for air in a box.

Assembly is straightforward and takes one person about an hour. No welding, no drilling, no cutting. If you can build the enclosure, you can build this.
