What filament do you recommend for these beasts? I am looking to add FDM to our arsenal, and this one looks both pleasing on price and size. The max is currently sold out, but I might buy a few 3Plus models.

Yeah, would have loooooved that as well. I think they did a small preorder but are waiting for more units to become generally available. Also, elegoo has never told me what to make.. just to make whatever project I want and show off some elegoo stuff in the process ;) Honestly love the hell out of them.

I really wish they had some available. I’ve been checking pretty regularly since around when the 3Plus vid came out, and neither the plus or the max has been in stock.

That's actually crazy, the sheer size alone makes me want one. Would love to see a comparison of quality on prints from this and the Prusa XL whenever that releases.

jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

i got the tronxy x5sa a little over a year ago and having such a large build volume is so amazing. sure most of the things ive made would fit on a normal sized i3 (and many on a voron 0.1), but those moments when you really just want something massive, not having to slice it into pieces and try to glue it is amazing

This is awesome! I’m so impressed with Elegoo lately. I just bought some of their FDM filament for the first time and it’s so good, I can’t believe the quality you get for the price

I’ve been waiting for this video. The printer seems great and I’m patiently waiting for it to come back in stock!

Picked up my Neptune 3 Pro a few weeks ago after seeing your video. Been SO happy with it (and got like... 3 other people to buy them). Elegoo is just doing it better. When I upgrade my resin printer I'll definitely be getting one of theirs as well. Insanely good prints right out of the box.

the shear size alone is impressive.. this will open up new items one can print as a whole instead of having to make it in pieces.. congrats on the new printer and best of luck with it for yah

Yes I need this in my life, 2 week long prints… don’t care that beast has so much potential. ❤

I've been waiting for this review since you first posted about it on twitter! also received a notification that my neptune 3 plus is arriving tomorrow, cant wait!

This printer is insane! I'm definitely buying one. I wonder if you could install the E3D Revo hotend for super easy nozzle changes, because I think switching to a 1mm nozzle here would be just sweet! And yes, bigger nozzles need slower printing speeds and a bump in temperature.

Been using a Creality CR10 5S for years. Having a large scale printer is a great addition and time saver.

Can’t wait until they are back in stock!!! I want one. Been loving my Neptune 3 pro!

Damn, Elegoo is just killing it. I just bought a CR-10s Pro V2 to start replacing my old CR-10's but I think my next printer will be the Neptune 3 Max.

As always, love your enthusiasm.

Nice to see some other manufacturers making large form factors. Been using the Creality S500 which I upgraded for years, 500x500x1000... however now for large form factor going to corexy (ratrig) just due to the amount of space the bed slingers need to sling.

Oh my, that size is amazing! I wish I had room for one of those babies! For those who love props, I suggest visiting Props and Beyond. That printer would be a nice upgrade to what I already have!

Hi Jessy, love the videos! Always very straight to the point but very entertaining still. And even with sponsor it still seems 100% constructive and genuine! Quick question, I don't believe Elegoo sells nozzles besides the standard that comes with the printer (might be wrong however). Could you please share which nozzle you've used for testing with this? The 6mm and 8mm. Thanks in advance and thanks for all the great content!

Cool vid and very awesome printer. Will totally need to pic one up.

Oomg omg omg i was waiting for this video sooo much you have no idea😭i'm dying to get one of this machines for some larger projects. Would you consider doing a small video with some of the best profile you used on this machine? Love your videos ✨

Excellent review !! Do you have your profiles and or settings anywhere ? you always have such clean prints

I have a neptune 3 and am very happy with it. The max will be my next one. Great video 👍

I bought the Neptune Pro as my first 3d printer and I love it. Haven’t tackled anything big yet cuz I’m a chicken lol. Would love to see some instructions for printing big on something like the Neptune Pro. I think I’ll be purchasing this big boy soon!

My first neptune just arrived today. I got the 2 pro after watching your videos. I want a Max

Huge printer! Looks super useful

That thing is so cool. I would need like a dedicated room for that though, and knowing that I would have to do multi-day prints on it. Definitely use some larger nozzles too! (i'm kind of obsessed with 0.6mm nozzles right now they are like my bread and butter for faster but nice, simple prints if I dont need too much detail!)

Ok, now I need a bigger shop! I really want 2 of these but have no idea where to put them! Great price great review!

Ok I'm sold. I have some Storm Trooper armor that has better days and need replaced. So i could easily just reprint new pieces. Thank you for covering this. Just gotta wait for this to come back into stock

Thanks UncleJessy. To you have test if the tray is linear when heated? . I owned the Duplicator D9 500 and when chaffing the tray was not straight / Thanks a lot

Absolutely love that Neptune 3 Max, but I'm wondering, how would you compare that printer to the Creality CR-10 Max?

I've never had a FDM printer but this one is tempting. Not only to print bases (like many do instead of using Resin) but also armor/weapons that could be done in 1-2 prints.

haha hopefully sooner than later

Those prints look amazing - I am very surprised at the lack of visible layer lines. Was it the camera, the prints, or the material, or your settings? (especially the lobo bust).

👍U make these machines look so good!!🍰

How tricky are the bed levelling knobs? I really wanted my next printer to be a completely hands-free levelling process like the Prusa XL - but the price of this seems pretty dang attractive.

Dang, because of this, I'm really contemplating if I even need the prusa xl. Seems like it works well out of box and the print size is huge....wonder what klipper could do for this thing 😁. Just wish it was in stock

Jessy, just ordered my Max and waiting for it but playing with Cura now. Do you have a video with your preferred settings for printing helmet and other props?

Hey I was wondering if you can show a thermal shot of the bed to see the heat distribution. Might want to invest in a thermal gun to enhance your reviews. Great video!

I have the pro and I love it and can't wait to grab one of the big boys soon! Question for you, do you have any videos on your opinion for best settings for supports/custom supports on the various slicers? I am seeing supports are negatively impacting otherwise great prints. (im using cura)

We just got this 3D printer and I have not put it together yet and from watching your videos I was wondering what nozzle you were using and where you got it from

I can't wait for mine! Honestly I'm pondering canceling my Elegoo preorder for the PLUS and grabbing one from Amazon since it's kind of unclear how long before Elegoo starts shipping them.

Elegoo is in a good position. More demand than they can meet. They should have a wait-list or something though.

Looking at getting one of the Neptune 3 printers, is it worth jumping from the standard Neptune 3 to the 3 Pro? Haven't used a direct drive printer before, which is printer is more reliable and is there a difference in quality of smaller (say tabletop miniatures) prints? and is the direct drive a pro or con if I only plan on using PLA?

Would have been good to see a comparison with some of the other large printers like CR-10 variants and Sidewinder X1/2. It looks like this is substantially larger than these.

What slicer are you using for the Max and Plus? And I heard that it was difficult to change filament mid print.

Are you able to mount the control plate on the left-hand side of the machine or is it only setup for the right side of the machine?

I have no experience with FDM, a few months with resin. Would this machine be simple enough for someone to start on? Ultimately i want to do cosplay and architectural prints with fdm, but obviously would want to start with smaller projects to learn. Aside from using the .4 nozzle, are there any other major hindrances for using these large machines for small projects? BTW if you read this Uncle Jessy, your videos have been absolutely invaluable to get started and to improve my prints so far, so thank you.

Mine arrived today. 20 min set up and am powering out some test prints. Next up a full set of Mando armor for an order.

I noticed in the video the screened showed ABS as a printing material. In the past I have only seen ABS successfully printed on enclosed machines. Does it actually work well on this one? Would love to be able to make props and armor in ABS for easier finishing and heat warp resistance

Hello Uncle Jessy, when you change the nozzle to a .6 do you also have to change the e steps?

Would be really appreciated to get a video on your settings/profile you use for these larger elegoo printers!

If they ever come back in stock I may get one to replace my CR10 V2. Got the Neptune 3 (non max) at black friday and it works fantastic

Can you make a settings video for the .6 nozzle? I have no ideas what supports to use and such on mine

Really want to see you paint some of your projects 😁

Question on the bed of this. Does the heater cover the full bed? Have a CR10S currently and the bed heater doesn’t cover the full bed, it’s like 1cm short on all sides. So just wanted to make sure it’s good cause I’m HEAVILY considering getting this and selling my 10S

When dealing with large nozzle prints, you (very) quickly run into the maximum amount of plastic the hot-end can melt (Referred to as volumetric flow). CNC kitchen has lots of in depth videos on how to understand this and deal with it, and how to overcome it. That said, even 50 mmps print speed (25 cubic mm/second) with 0.4mm layers is faster than I'd ever print. I normally target around 12-15 cubic mm/second with normal hot-ends.

what supports did you use for it? or did you not need any at all. I am still new to 3D printing so its rough trying to learn all this stuff. lol

Yes, big nozzles require a big heater too, what's that heater rated for? I do 0.8 nozzles on my machines and you definitely print a bit slower with those big beads! But, the advantage is you can greatly reduce print times with less perimeters needed. For armor and such, I use a 0.25 layer resolution. Also, why type of nozzles does the Neptune use? E3D style?

I recently bought the Anycubic Chiron which is close to the same size, have you used one of those, if so your thoughts on it.

Can you share your settings for the Neptune 3 pro? I need help with that.

Hey uncle jessy not related to this video but please can you do a video on how to know when your belts are tight enough my neptune 2s has started doing layer shifts, my 3 pro's are all good but the 2s machines have had a fair amount of uses. Many thanks Mick

@UncleJessy Is there any way that you can post the footprint dimensions I love the front to back and the height that you gave but how wide is the machine?

Uncle Jessy this is amazing! I’d love to see how big you could print a creature from Dragon Trappers Lodge

Hi Jessy, love your channel, just got my first Neptune 3 max and right out of the box the z axis is loud going home. Its shaking. just wondering if you ever had issues like this and what the fix was. I contacted Elegoo to see what their response is.

Do you know when they are going to be shipping out orders? I ordered the Neptune 3 plus and it never shipped?

Hi @UncleJessy do you have any info or link for the nozzles you used for the .6mm

If changing to .6 nozzle what what setting changes do I need to make on either cura or orca slicer?

What’s the fastest speed you’ve been able to get it, you got the plus to 150 and it looked great, can this run at that speed and still look good?

would this be manageable for a beginner. thanks for the video

I am interested to hear your thoughts on these versus the Kobra line by Anycubic expecially the 2 Max versions

Very informative, how does it compare to the Creatily CS10S5?

Great content , you might want to try a CHT nozzle as depending on you speed you might be exceeding the practical limit

Hey Uncle Jessy, Would you go with this one or the Bambu Lab printer? I've sold my CR-10 and want to move to another FDM printer. I use Elegoo for Resin and I love the outcome, but I've heard a lot about the Bambu Lab printer. I like the speed of the Bambu, but not sure about the quality and extra clean up.

Thank you for the review! Double the size (.8 from .4), so double the heat retention in the PLA?

Nice. I have one with the same size bed, but is 700mm tall and dual extruder. I got it to print my 6 ft long sound-bar, oh and it was massively more than this.

Between this and the anycubic cobra max, which would be the better choice for printing test products in a pet company?

Impossible to get one in the uk. Great review as always champ. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wish I can still find this really want it but dont see any in stock anywhere

I would love to add one of these to my print slowly growing farm. Thing is, like you I don't really have the space for it. The Nep 3+ is as large as I can go and thats after retiring an Nep 2S for the space.

I just bought a neptune 3 max, do you have orca profiles for it too?

Thank you Elegoo! 🤪
