I designed this Chamber Heater Adapter for the Elegoo Centauri Carbon to be a clean, secure, and fully reversible way to add active chamber heating to the printer—without drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications.
This model is an adapter that mounts directly to the internal spool holder assembly and holds both the heater and its cable neatly in place. It’s designed specifically to fit the Mini Heater for ELEGOO Saturn 3 Ultra, which can be found on AliExpress here:

Once installed, this setup allows the chamber temperature to reach up to ~50 °C, which makes a noticeable difference when printing engineering materials like ABS and ASA. Warping is reduced, layer adhesion improves, and prints are simply more consistent. The overall design stays compact and looks like it belongs inside the printer.
The solution is made of two simple parts:
Heater holder
Cable guide (slides into the holder via a dovetail)
Both parts are easy to print and assemble, and the installation uses the existing spool holder screws, so everything can be removed at any time if needed.
Material: PETG or higher (PLA is not recommended due to heat)
Walls: At least 3
Supports: Enable normal supports
Print both parts separately
Insert the cable guide into the dovetail slot on the heater holder
Unscrew the four M3 screws holding the internal spool holder
Position the assembled heater holder + cable guide in place
Reinstall and tighten the four M3 screws
Optional:
You can add a couple of small pieces of heat-resistant double-sided tape to help hold the cable guide in place. I personally used VHB Double Sided Adhesive Acrylic Foam Tape 4229P, available here:

If you’re looking for a straightforward and elegant way to increase chamber temperature on the Centauri Carbon and start printing tougher materials with confidence, this adapter does exactly that—simple, effective, and easy to install.
