​@@gruffmadnessi hope it goes well for u! I have had mine for over a month now and I love it! I suggest staying away from cura for this printer. I used cura and it gave me alot of issues like gaps in my prints and weird seams. Switched to prusaslicer (which still has tree supports as well) and the printer now prints perfectly. Cura doesnt seem to work well with klipper. It did work fine on my marlin printers though.

My Neptune 4 max just showed up 10 minutes ago! What excelllent timing.

Exactty the 2 I got!

Here is the issue with people who shill for print companies. When Jesse talks about the "non-standard nozzle" he uses really fluffy terminology and kind brushes it off. Whereas in reality, this could be a potentially huge issue. Hoping some third party or Elegoo will create enough to satisfy the market is a terrible strategy. What is worse it that your printer might find itself to be obsolete in a few months. What if Elegoo goes back to a standard nozzle? What if there are supply issues? What if Third party manufacturers simply don't care to make them? You could be a stuck with a printer that can't ever print again unless you find a way to completely replace the hot end. This isn't just something you mention in passing. It is potentially a major issue and as much as I like Jesse's videos, this really comes across as an advertisement rather than informing consumers.

You think Jessy is a shill for print companies? That's a pretty nasty thing to say. Now I've got that off my chest, the nozzle isn't a big deal really as you could just fit whatever hot end you wanted - a Volcano for example.

You are the man. My 4 plus is great... I have to slow the thing down for the smaller, more detailed prints. I am just getting used to the Cura functionality, eventually I will try the Orca slicer.. The instant availablility to print from the program looks promising. Thanks again for the videos, keep em' commin.

I adore my Neptune 4 pro, I adore the steel rails, was kinda hoping the new versions would have that option 😕 oh well, I can still wait 😂

Just out of curiosity how well were the esteps calibrated from the factory? My Neptune 3 Plus default would feed 90mm of filament for the 100mm that I wanted. Once I fine tuned it, I haven’t had a printer I’ve owned print better.

Fantastic! I'm looking forward to having a peek at those Nep 4 Max profiles, my Max is showing up on Wednesday and I'm extremely excited to deal with its massive bulk lol

I received a pre-order 4-Plus directly from Elegoo this past Saturday (11 September) which has the exact x and Y axis noise issues Jessy talks about. I did the preloaded test print of the Buddha which came out perfect and I also printed a complicated large file of my own that came out absolutely perfect in-spite of the grinding noises. I thought it would be an easy fix based on Jessy's recommendation of using The Feral Engineer's process. His video was watched several times, taking lots of notes and the guidance he offered was followed to-the-letter. Long story short - I now have a two day old printer that still grinds in both axis, when homing the hot end rams into the bed and it has become impossible to level. Moral of the story - I hope your printer does not have the axis issues and if it does, live with it because the prints it did produce were amazing. If you do have issues and are able to resolve them via the Feral Engineer's process, PLEASE post how you did it. It's a great printer.

Great review Man love your style of videos 🎉

Hello. How do I add the 4 MAX to orca slicer? I do not see it on the list. Thanks

Good review, thank you! How would you describe Elegoos choice to use only 85C hotbed in the MAX, while the smaller ones go over 100C? That limits the usage of filaments badly in my opinion. Sure they claim the printhead goes to 300C and can print ABS, Nylon,, etc. but because of the hotbed limitations this is a sketchy claim from them...

Excellent video. I preordered mine a week or two ago. There was a comment awhile back where someone had found some compatible nozzles on aliexpress. Fortunately I can make some myself in 0.6 or larger once I get a hold of a first one, but hopefully they’ll have that sorted by the time it arrives. I haven’t watched the video on setting up homing on Klipper yet but if it’s anything like Marlin it should be pretty easy to adjust the sensitivity where it can be done live with M codes.

love this i have the plus on order but dsnt ship til november here in the uk but its cool to see what i will have to work with great video

Hey Jessy. I just purchased a Neptune 3 Max mine actually came w/ an insulated pad on the print bed. This may be a updated item from Elegoo moving forward not sure. Keep up the great videos always a big help to the community

Do mind share how you so you set orcaSlicer profile for Neptune 4 plus? I'm using v1.8.0 rc2 and the 4 plus profile is the one that is missing.

Hello! new to your channel and I love the information you provide. Thank you for all that you do. Quick question, I'm obsessed with the blue/purple filament. in the video I thought you said it is "elegoos galaxy black" and I can't seem to find it anywhere. wondering if you could send a link? Thanks so much

Would you recommend the 4 plus as a first printer?

Really great video. Might have to sell my Sovol SV03 to get one of these Elegoos.

Hi, Interesting, about the fan panel, the option to disable them is for high speed printing? always have the fans on the extruder for defect?

Thanks for this video. Am about to get me one. Only question i have is about the space i need on the table. How many cm in depth, width and height does the printer need? Have to build a noise"canceling" enclosure since i live in flat. Thanks.

@TheOscylO yeah my biggest concern with N4 plus is people's complaints about the software and how the bed knobs just flex the bed instead of raising or lowering it. Also another concern is that to print at those fast speeds, I need to have rapid PLA? Otherwise it's just a standard printer?

Hy do you have the profile for the neptune 4 plus at the orca slicer? Im a beginner.

Do you know if these machines also have a 24V connector on the back like the Neptune 4?

I would be so happy to do all this with my Plus and Max if I didn't just get an Email from Elegoo saying my PLUS and MAX are delayed till sometime "..in the month of November". I PRE-ORDERED ON LAUNCH DAY!!

😂the downside to getting the Max in their first round, is I see all your info updates well after I've had some of the issues/questions about mine at start up. I'm still new to filament, so I've got a lot more to do, which you'll definitely be informative for me with however. I hate my ender 3 pro (mostly due to user error) , so I'm determined to make this one work.

I think that if you did the configuration change to fix that, then *also* update the firmware later, you *might* have to restore those settings to their original values. With that in mind, I would probably do the firmware update instead of the config change.

@Xials

9 ай бұрын

I did both. The firmware update undoes the changes, but also has different values than previously. There is also something clearly different in the way the steppers are driven as they are louder, but the homing issues seem to be mostly fixed.

10:00 YES PLEASE! I would LOVE love love configuration files for the 4 Max on OrcaSlicer. This is my first 3d printer and I have a lot to learn before I can guess at settings with skill.

Would love to see some videos on usage of ABS filament with the Nepture 4 Max without an enclosure. It's massive size (practical massive as opposed to the ridiculous Orange Storm which 90% of people don't have room for) is ideal for Cosplay Cosume Parts (from Helmets to Armor to Props) which typically do not require high level detail and instead are large enough in which detail wil come from sanding and painting the piece. So, logically ABS printing those parts seems most logical to have something that won't break or melt if you are going to a Convention in Las Vegas or anywhere in Flordia during the summer!

would you recommend putting linear rails on a n3+ ?

Great video you have the settings for the 4 pro I just got that one and I'm new to Orca

I just set up my Neptune 4 Max and this video notification popped up 😅

Could we see it side by side with the bambu x1 as I'm torn between a bed slinger vs core xy

Thanks for your viedeos :D

When I got my max, the bed was so loose that it just popped off. I had to completely disassemble and reassemble it to get it attached. I found a couple of worrying things during that process. One, the bed isn't floating in the way you'd expect when coming from other 3d printers. There are actually two spacers that attached the bed to the carriage in the center of the bed creating a fixed center point. So the leveling wheels don't really level at all. They're just flexing the bed around that center point. The other is some weirdness around the rollers on the bed carriage. There are six in total, three on a side. On one side you've got three eccentric nuts for adjustment. On the other, you only have one eccentric nut, the other two rollers are fixed. With how sloppy the tolerances were I had to adjust the nuts all the way in to actually grip the rails, leaving the two fixed rollers just hanging in air doing nothing.

Sorry for the long message. Hopefully, i didn't miss a video about this, and hopefully, this is seen by Uncle jessy. But have you ever used glass filler for scratches on the screen of a resin printer to repair it instead of replacing the screen. I'm still new to resin printing and forgot to put a screen protector on my saturn s and the clean up put scratches on the screen and now it doesn't print well in the area of the scratches and I was curious if a glass filler would be a viable and cheaper fix then replacing the assembly all together.

I would love to see videos on orca slicer!

I’m having trouble getting to the printer 🖨️ center correctly on the bed. The auto homing is way off is there a way to fix this issue?

Surely thats something that taking the nozzle to your hardware or specialist plumbing or metalwork shop can fix?

One thing I'm having trouble tracking down for the new range is the footprint you need to clear to cope with the moving table. So many places just give you the dimensions of a surface you need to support the feet, not how much space you need to make sure the table doesn't smack into the wall when it's working. I don't suppose anyone has those figures to hand?

Hi Guys, would u buy the Neptune 4/4 Pro or the Neptune 3Max ? Here in Europe the Neptune 3Max is about 255€. Or is the new Neptune 4 (260€) and the 4Pro about 310€ the better option?

I have heard that the standard neptune 4 has a bad tollerance, meaning mechanical parts with a precision of around 0.25mm can be off and not work correctly. Have you done a tollerance test with the plus and max?

I've heard this too and have seen a vid showing the error after printing a small tube. The error was 0.2 so the tube wasn't exactly round so I would like to know if this is a one-off, hardware/software or user problem. Or is it just one model of the Neptune 4 that is affected? I am thinking of getting the Elegoo 4 plus or maybe the max if I can stretch it but if it is a hardware problem then I shall have to go elsewhere.

Sensorless homing is awesome. I did configure it in my recently rebuilt Anycubic Mega X (ditched the Trigorilla board for one with sensorless homing ability, using a Manta M8P and redone all the wiring, getting rid of the proprietary PCBs), it´s great to get rid of the extra wiring. Other great feature when using dual Z motors (if they are plugged into separate drivers) is Z Tilt, and in Klipper it´s VERY easy to set up. With all that and adaptive bed meshing I´m now getting perfect first layers. Also got rid of the leveling knobs, no need for them anymore with all those features properly set up. Too bad the kinematics in my printer do not allow for bigger speeds, but still, the manageability of Klipper firmware makes very easy to mod the printer without the hassle of recompiling firmware to see if it works.

looking slicer profile for cura or orca. Any suggestion?

I love my neptune 4 plus. After switching from Ender 3v2 to Neptun 4 plus I don't need any other printer. Finally I can print big objects.

Ok good thing I checked your video Nozzle heatsup really fast! But bed takes like 5 minutes to heatup 😅

I'm not a fan of the false marketing about The Neptune 4 Max being able to print PLA/PETG/ABS/TPU/Nylon Filaments. Having a 85 degree bed relegates you to PLA, PETG, and TPU. The bed temp for ABS and Nylon are kind of a stretch unless you print blends with your fingers crossed, and some glue; not to mention you would also need an enclosure(makes sense). I wish they made a version with at-least a 100c bed, ideally a 120c bed. I realize that the power supply would need an upgrade too.

What site did you get Orca slicer from? All the places I see look fake

Been running an Ender 5 pro for a couple years now and I’ve accepted I need something with a larger print volume and a faster speed. Thinking the Neptune 4 max

How does the Neptune 4 max compare to the Neptune 3 max?

Sensorless Homing is what these printers have, what that does is Klipper (and the Mobo) can sense when the draw of the stepper motor increases/spikes when the head (or bed) hits the end. However it does sound like the early firmware, more like the printer.cfg file isn't programmed correctly and the sensitivity is set too low. Voron printers can do this too and its been a popular thing in the community, thought I do prefer still having the physical endstop switches in my 2.4 350.

Are you having by chance Z-Axis issue whilst printing, due maybe to the bed wheels getting lose?

Should I get one of these of the a1 mini
