In this video I finally jump into 3D printing for the first time, and I’m doing it in proper Brook Valley fashion: the weather in New Zealand turned awful, I only got about 10 arrows through the recurve after redoing my grip (spoiler: brilliant), and then I retreated to the workshop to see what I could actually make that helps my archery. It’s only my second day owning the Elegoo Centauri Carbon, so this is a genuine beginner run—no tech-wizard editing, just me figuring it out and seeing what’s possible. I printed three practical bits straight away. First up were wall-mounted limb brackets so I can finally get my recurve limbs organised and out of the way (I’ve got another four or five sets to hang up). Next was a tiny peep rotation tool for my compound—basically a small plastic piece that sits in the string and lets you twist the peep into line. People sell things like that for silly money, so printing a few (because they’re easy to lose) just made sense. Lastly, I printed an aftermarket-style grip (for a Wiawis Unison) to test whether this “budget friendly” printer could handle something more demanding—and honestly, it came out feeling very, very good. Overall, the Centauri Carbon surprised me with how clean and capable it is for the price, and it’s opened the door to more archery workshop prints like arrow holders, fletching jig parts, stabiliser racks, and alignment blocks.
