Hey new subscriber here and new owner of the Neptune 4 plus. Just wanted to mention that I'm also getting that squeek and can't seem to find it. So please let me know if you do. And some bonus info for anyone one looking to pick this up, when the bed recognizes the temp has reached 60c it hasn't actual done so completely for the entire bed. So I give it 15 minutes to preheat before even leveling to compensate for thermal expansion otherwise you'll find different results leveling everytime.

Enjoying my 4 Plus. None of the issues others have reported. I use the Elegoo version of Cura for regular prints, and S3D with a 4 Plus profile for Lithophanes. I've only had the printer for a few weeks so it's not fully tuned, but it's very quickly almost as tuned as well as my older X1.

I printed out a version of the mushroom that wasn’t nearly that big (even accounting for the extra 33%)… on my SV05 the spots did not fit in the spots on the lid… I tried resizing them the best I could but it never really worked. When I got my P1S, I reprinted it and everything fit perfectly. The spots still don’t make a ton of contact with the indents in the lid but I used enough glue to get you high lmao… I really need to get some 3D Gloop!; I hate using super glue 🤣🤣🤣

@SirCharles. Месяц назад

Can you do a comparison with this Nepune4+ and the Artillery SW-4+? They seem similar in price range currently.. comparatively the SW-4+ has X/Y linear rails but I hear it has some FW issues (not keeping Z-offset), Neptune4+ has accelerometer and Elegoo seems to be much better overall in terms of QC and customer support. Since you have experience with both, what are your thoughts? Which would you be more likely to keep/use if you had to pick? I'm thinking about getting a second printer to upgrade from my Ender3v2.. I'd love the bigger volume and Klipper. Just need some help deciding.

@LoyalMoses Месяц назад

I’ve had great experiences with both, but I would likely lean towards the Elegoo. The Elegoo also has more aftermarket upgrades available as well. I can definitely do a video on that!

This being Klipper machine, does it need Klipper skills to calibrate the m/c or work with it in general? I am just not sure where and how much Klipper I need to learn. Thanks again

@fogryu 3 месяца назад

That's a very cool video, thanks for that! I'm actually looking for buying a "helmet class" 3D printer. And I was going to buy a Anycubic Kobra 2 Max, but then I learned about the software and all about that to use Wifi you need to use the phone app and thing like that. And I know it's gonna bugs me ... The way you explain the workflow in this video, "plug the RJ45, Put the IP in the software an boom, launch the print right from you slicer from you PC", is what I want. So do you know if there is way to do that with a Kobra 2? Or is ther other machines about the same size or bigger, with same quality, same price range, but LAN/Wifi connected and easy to use like that? And did you tried the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max and the Anycubic Kobra 2 Max? I looked for but didn't find any video on those two on your channel. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these two machines. Anyway, thanks again for all you videos, very helpful!

@@LoyalMoses ohh ok maybe it's not the same then. The one I've found has a thread so you can connect the mushroom head and the bottom part. But as said I couldn't scale them proportionally. They won't go into each other although I've scaled them the same value. 😮‍💨 I just printed a few of them, smaller each print until eventually I got the right size 😅

Just looked the Plus printer up as Elegoo are having a Sale on, this printer is now £283.99p on the UK site. ( need to save up I guess as bills come 1st sadly ) I really wish to get it to replace two other 3D printers I am now going to dismantle due to them being a pain to use even after I spent time and money upgrading them! ( Aquila G32 chip model now upgraded with dual lead rods and motors & PEI bed & all metal hot end = 550 C max but used at 300 C ) and the ( FLSUN QQ-S Pro Delta Printer also PEI bed upgraded & fitted a Titan Extruder ) No end of issues with both f them no matter the work done? I have a Elegoo Neptune 3 and the Elegoo Neptune 3 Max, the Neptune 3 hot end throat needed replacing ( just got the bi-metal throats now ) The Neptune 3 Max just being a swine as it worked great for ages and now will not do leveling right even after tons of manual and auto leveling done and I getting upset with the time I put in only to have it still not level enough to print right? I have now the BTT Pad 7, I wish to klipper both Neptune 3's But being new to klipper I can't find a video step by step to set up both of them on to the pad 7 klipper control? Anyone know of a help video clearly showing how to do these two Neptune Printers in to klipper by the Pad 7? Maybe then I can get them working better and faster? I having to only do fast printing on the new Qidi X-Plus-3 Printer I have now. I done the hobby for 5 years now but still not able to do all the g-coding and klipper stuff yet?

One tip is to just power it off, and move the print head manually to each area of the bed, and eyeball it close to the nozzle using the knobs underneath. Go around a few times. Then you can adjust z from the user interface after you power it on.

I was so enthusiastic to buy this printer model. After a month of use all hell begun... After a blob of death everything went pear shaped. I've got the replacement print head no doubt, but the next one couple of days later... I was so angry, I've just throw it to the bin... No replacement from this company. Since the installation and re-levelling of the latest pre-assembled extruder kit I was not able to print a single usable piece. As the latest repeated fails, I've checked the bed temp and found that: it is all over the place and some parts even 10C degree lower than the set level. I wasted countless hours and countless filament reels with this junk of a printer. Not happy at all! Wouldn't ever buy another elegoo in any shape or form.
