Tiger Touch for Elegoo 3D printers
Tiger Touch turns a BIGTREETECH Panda Touch or K-Touch into a live screen for your Elegoo Centauri Carbon: progress, temperatures and, on the Centauri Carbon 2, the Canvas filament system.
What it shows
- State, progress, layers, time left and the file being printed
- Nozzle, bed and chamber temperatures
- The Canvas slots of a Centauri Carbon 2 with material and colour
From the screen
Pause, resume and stop are sent with Elegoo's own commands; stop asks for a confirmation first. The light switches on a Centauri Carbon 2 (the Centauri Carbon has no light command).
How it connects
On your local network: MQTT for the Centauri Carbon 2 (port 1883), SDCP for the Centauri Carbon (discovery on UDP 3000, then WebSocket 3030).
Tested on real printers
Seen on real printers: a Centauri Carbon 2 and a Centauri Carbon, their state, progress and temperatures, pause, resume and stop, and the light on the Centauri Carbon 2.
Set it up in three steps
- 1
Add the printer in Tiger Studio Manager (desktop app): it finds it on your network.
- 2
Flash Tiger Touch, sign in with the same TigerSystem account.
- 3
Switch the printer on in Settings > Printers.

Questions about Elegoo
Is the Centauri Carbon supported?
Yes, both the Centauri Carbon (SDCP) and the Centauri Carbon 2 (MQTT), each seen on a real printer.
Does it need the Elegoo cloud?
No. Tiger Touch talks to the printer on your local network.
Does it show the Canvas?
On the Centauri Carbon 2, yes: its slots with material and colour.
What about the Neptune 4 and the OrangeStorm Giga?
They run Klipper with Moonraker, so Tiger Touch follows them through its Klipper connection: add them in Tiger Studio Manager as Klipper printers.
