Thank You To @ElegooOfficial for sponsoring this video. Preorders start today for these machines and you can find that here: bit.ly/3oKdmpq (affiliate link) #elegoo #3dprinting
Thanks for the quick review. ETA for Neptune 4 pro starts in August unless you live in JP or US . The Neptune 4 ETA starts in July. waiting 3 months for a 3d printer is too long. Another reasons to get a Bambu labs printer.
To be fair though you can get 2 Neptune 4 pros and 10lbs of PLA for the price of the P1P. No doubt P1P is far and away better, but price matters. Are the extra features worth the extra money? I am leaning toward the Neptune for this reason alone. I can get a Neptune 4 pro and a Anycubic M5S for less than the P1P.
@Vesuvias v I would definitely take a Neptune 4 pro , but 3 months ? Come on that's torture . Neptune 4 (non pro) ships in July for all regions. So that still 2 months away. And last month I was planning to get the Neptune 3 pro but it was never in stock.
@@WildRoseBuilds Australia often gets screwed, They will have an early bird special and you can't order it, really frustrating. It can be quicker to back a kick starter than order from Elegoo.
Liked the tone and quality of the assessment. I especially liked the "Tuning" video that followed later. Should be most helpful. Based upon the many positive reviews, i ordered my very first 3d printer, a Neptune 4 Pro, direct from Elegoo last weekend. Filament selection due to arrive tomorrow and the printer is anybody's guess. Regardless, I'm looking forward to learning more about the technology.
I have been shopping for a while and this looks to check all the boxes! Used your link and looking forward to getting a modern printer added to my clan!
Looks very good and having switched 2 of my 3 printers to Klipper, one with it ready to go out of the box would be great! Looking forward to more vides about these, may be my next one.
i stick to my neptune 3 pro and max. both are amazing printers. i can easily wait for the next generation after and still have a lot of fun with my printers.
I recently got a Neptune 3 Pro, my very first 3d printer. I have no complaints. I am using an old laptop to run Klipper and used adxl345 with a Pi Pico to do input shaping. So far the prints are very stable and only had one bad experience with an overnight print due to my bad slicing. I am unable to integrate my Razer Kiyo webcam to the Klipper+Mainsail setup. I setup a timer to remind myself and preordered the new Neptune 4 Pro. Now I have to revert back to stock firmware before returning to Amazon. Cant wait!
I should buy my first 3D printer, and I'm undecided between the Elegoo Neptune 4 and the 4 PRO version. What advantage do the metal guides and rollers of the 4 PRO version provide? Do the plastic ones in the 4 version tend to wear out? If they tend to wear out after many prints, are there any replacement parts available? Is it worth spending a bit more to have only the heated bed with zone heating and the metal guides and rollers?
I was hoping this would be a solid candidate for my next FDM machine as it's a slight upgrade over the one I currently have, at a much lower price point. Unfortunately it has a smaller build volume than expected, so if Elegoo can drop something like a Neptune 4 Max or something with a significantly larger build volume, I think it'll be a no-brainer :) Here's to hoping!
Hi i am in the samecase i really really Hope a Neptune 4 max with the same volume of the Neptune 3 max will be released soon 😅 someone maybe know how WE Can Ask them ?😅
Very cool thank you for the video! I got the P1P a couple of months ago and want to get the Elegoo 450x450 for bigger prints but might wait until Bambu Labs come out with a bigger printer Lol :)
Hey @WildRoseBuilds . You run this printer for a while now and i get mine in a month or so. Can you tell me at which printing speed you can turn off the blower bar for quieter printing? Thank you :)
I JUST got the Neptune 3 pro today. It prints fine. Now I'm wondering if its even worth keeping. Spend time to fiddle around with trying to setup Klipper on it or just get a new machine with it preinstalled
@@WildRoseBuildsim still trying to get the Neptune 3 Max, but since its always sold out everytime I try to buy one, I might as well just wait for the Neptune 4 Max 😂😅
@@WildRoseBuilds Yeah I really like that printer, it's my first ever printer. I need to learn a lot but I really enjoy it. I'm trying to learn on my mistakes(last weekend after 19 hours of print I increased speed but not temperature, clog and 19 hours down the drain hah).
@@petercallison5765 it's about $6, actually. There are pins for it on the board, it's just a question of if they run on the same spi bus as the mks pi (0.2)
That board is based on the mks skipr. The possibility of an rk3328 kinda scares me I want to solder in a dual usb header that they omitted from the board I also want to tap into the adxl pins that are next to the missing header
@@WildRoseBuilds i kinda hate being on the sideline with this machine and not having one to mess with because I could/would do so many things to that board. I watched mandic do exactly what I had wanted to do and install a WiFi dongle, ssh into the device, etc and I was taken back by the fact that the cpu temp was almost at critical level (78°c). I also want to try a Netgear ac1200 on the Ethernet port to compare the network reliability between both solutions. It's running the same makerbase Armbian that the skipr and pi run, almost solidifying that this is an rk3328 (it's a fork of the libre renegade trunk build). The fact that it's running so hot also proves that it's an rk3328 because I had thermal issues with my mks pi boards before installing cpu fans, but that didn't stop them from continually dropping and failing prints after a while. I'm really worried that the neptune 4 will meet the same fate unless someone tweaks the armbian distro to do a better job at running Klipper. The Klipper community is quick to blame the user, so they are no help and Makerbase literally told me to just buy new boards when I asked them why they were continuing to fail prints. I'm now team BTT. I'm running a cb1/pi4b, btt pi and pad7 reliably and will be doing a rebuild with a manta e3ez coming up real soon. Makerbase can take a long walk imo.
I think they might be tied to the fans in the print head. You can turn them off manually with the switch as well. I’ll have to do some more digging to see if they can be gcode controlled separately from the toolhead part fans.
I wasn't considering one of these until my Kobra suddenly died earlier this week. I have replaced parts and the motherboard, but it still fails to work. Anycubic support has not been great, so after watching a breakdown on this, I figured I would pre-order the Neptune4 pro. I have a Neptune3 Pro as well and was contemplating ordering another one of those to replace my suddenly dead Kobra. But I will be patient and use just the one printer until the 4 pro arrives. I'm still scratching my head as to what happened to my Kobra. It was literally working in the morning, started a print. It finished fine. removed the print, went to home the bed and the thing went crazy. Now I can't get it to do anything. Even after replacing the motherboard. Manual movement works, but only up and to the right. Left and down controls do nothing. The bed level sensor doesn't do anything at all either, which is really strange. Hopefully I can get it all figured out.
The nozzles that ship with the printer are not hardened just brass. the heartbreak is bimetal so it can go up to 300c. The AnkerMake m5 also uses this nozzle length I believe. It’s not proprietary but I’m not sure if anyone’s making hardened variants right now. Thanks for watching!
@@WildRoseBuilds yeah but the Kobra does Auto level bed as well as the z offset so nicht manual adjustment nieder to use it, the neptune does not set the z offset automaticly doesnt it?
Hopefully there will be a 300 mm cube print volume Klipper printer with a built-in accelerometer for input shaper tuning. A Klipper machine without an accelerometer misses a lot of the speed and print quality advantages. A Klipper printer should also have WiFi to make it easy to use Klipper. Who uses a wired LAN connection these days?
This is all very nice in theory, but when it comes to printing at that speed, let's say 250mm. The question is how many parameters we have to change depending on the material. I don't think cura is ready for V4. So why do I want to buy something that is supposed to print at 500mm/s, but it is recommended to print at 250mm/s. This sounds to me like ELEGOO wants to bring out the first 3D printers, (afordables), but let us solve the rest of the problems. Now suppose I'm in a hurry and I want to print TPU at 500mm/s... I don't think it's possible and I'd like to see it. But for the end product to be of quality...who benefits from that, obviously ELEGOO, it doesn't get us out of trouble. What they should do is start researching on connecting the 3D printer with the AI and solve the problems of printing with different materials...that is going to be a game changer.
To be honest fine tuning material specific parameters will always be the job of the end user unless there’s a proprietary filament involved. Companies like zortrax have done this and branded filaments as “zabs” and “zasa” and it does work well but the 3D printing community doesn’t seem super receptive to a closed ecosystem like that. Prusa has done it as well while keeping it open source with prusa ent but as a prusa user of over 5 years I’ve never once bought a spool. I think the lower price point and fast print speed warrants the few hours and a couple dozen grams of filament needed to fine tune these profiles for any given material. If you’re anything like me you probably print all the same brand pla, abs, petg, tpu, etc, making tuning that much easier. Thanks for the input and for watching!
Lol I ordered one because I want to print at 150mm/s which is double what I print at now. If the quality is the same as what I’m getting now I will be stoked with half print times
I had ordered one too like a month ago but never shipped , 3 days ago I had found out that they were releasing a N4 pro so luckily was able to cancel my order and re ordered n4 pro today
@@koppfrosch7439 yea i know, i have something issues with filament for Print me. Pla was good but Swift petg is a joke. I will try petg Frombork prusa and rosa 3d ale pla from fibrelogy
