How to Tune The Elegoo Neptune 4 Klipper 3D Printer for Better Print Quality (Step-by-Step Guide)

Here’s how i tuned my Elegoo neptune 4 and 4 pro machines. I hope this helps get you started on your klipper journey, if you have any questions or tips i dont mention here feel free to leave a comment below. Check out todays video sponsor ‪@ElegooOfficial‬ here: bit.ly/3oKdmpq (affiliate link)
COMMANDS:
Run the mesh bed leveling - BED_MESH_CALIBRATE
Enable temperature tower - TUNING_TOWER COMMAND='SET_HEATER_TEMPERATURE HEATER=extruder' PARAMETER=TARGET START=200 STEP_DELTA=5 STEP_HEIGHT=5
Run PID tuning
Hotend - PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=extruder TARGET=230
Bed - PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=heater_bed TARGET=65
PID value should be formatted this way under the extruder and heater_bed sections:
control :pid
pid_kp : xx.xx
pid_ki : xx.xx
pid_kd : xx.xx
Pressure advance
Run this command first - SET_VELOCITY_LIMIT SQUARE_CORNER_VELOCITY=1 ACCEL=500
Then this command - TUNING_TOWER COMMAND=SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE PARAMETER=ADVANCE START=0 FACTOR=.005

[@WildRoseBuilds]

Just some clarification here! Always save and restart after making changes in your printer.cfg (this reloads and applies the settings you've changed) Some people are having issues with the z offset so i recommend setting / fine tuning that on the machine itself and not touching any of the printer.cfg settings for offsets. When tightening your bed the back left corner has a spacer that attaches to the cable strain mount for the bed wiring harness. therefore the tightest your bed can be is determined by that spacer. tighten this and manually level your bed to achieve the tightest possible level bed. **always check that your axis move freely and to not contact any other parts of the machine!

[@pcwzrd13]

Just a word of warning for anyone doing this: I don't recommend tuning the pressure advance unless you think there's a problem with your prints. I followed the steps exactly, ended up with a value about the same as in the video, and it caused issues. After doing this, my prints had gaps and holes between outer walls and infill and it took me a day of troubleshooting to figure out it was the pressure advance. I reset it back to the default value and it's all good now. Sure, there's a chance tuning it may improve your print quality a bit but clearly it's not so simple to get this value correct. Chances are, they have it set at the right value from the factory.

[@UncleJessy]

Dear lord... perfect timing as I'm working on my Neptune 4 videos

[@KanielD]

Collab time???

[@FuzzyScaredyCat]

Any new users watching this ***DO NOT*** tighten your bed all the way down as suggested in this video. There are standoffs (actually belt holders) under the bed, if you try and tighten them all the way the standoffs will meet the bed and you will dome your bed.

[@v.h.203]

+1. Unfortunately after reading this, my bed had been like that for few weeks already (I was wondering how come the build plate would no longer lay flat so soon) and I have dimples in the insulation, but at least I could release the pressure on it. In principle, this is not bad advice, but does not work for this printer due to these belt end caps. The author should add a note to the video.

[@TaelonOrigin]

Is that true for the 4 plus/max as well? The belt holders look like a separate bracket

[@FuzzyScaredyCat]

@@TaelonOrigin I don't have access to one. Take a look under the bed, if you can see some uprights that aren't attach to the bed itself then I'd hazard a guess that the answer would be yes.

[@jarkkoaitti287]

I have max and i've spent some very recent time adjusting the bed and learned some things. i think especially with max, that bed bow can be a lot. I had tendency to always "tighten" the bed when leveling, causing the center to be the highest point after few rounds.

If you're new just watch his previous video about the neptune 3 line etc. My first ever printer was the 3 Pro and to be fair it was really easy to setup and I watched his video but also watched many others just to see if there were any differences. Truthfully just take your time and do things in steps, meaning, build the printer and make sure it's all level etc and then print parts pieces etc for a while and visually see what may happen or what you may not like about the models you're printing and then move on to the next step which would be the extrusion rate of the filament - look at examples of under or over extruding and see where you lie. A lot of these videos try to pack everything in one so it's overwhelming for a ton of people and these printers work pretty well brand new out of the box with zero tuning other than making sure it's level and calibrated etc. It's best to take steps but also enjoy the printer and note inconsistencies or issues from print to print and then tune on the printer every so often that way you can pinpoint what helped and what didn't if that makes sense. It is much harder to perfect the quality when you make tons of changes all at once you know. @@loghead2437

@leonskum6864 - I didn't know about the "screws_tilt_adjust" in Klipper. Thanks! I was already impressed at how easily the automatic bed probing and the visualization provided by displaying the data allowed me to manually adjust the bed leveling on the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro. It's way faster and easier than using a paper shim, where each adjustment impacts the others.

Im not too sure if I understand, are you saying that when we go to do the auxiliary bed leveling we should start with the far left corner, right? or do you mean before leveling, tighten the left corner all the way down tight, so that when auto leveling it reads numbers based off the tightness of that left corner making the measurements more precise for less vibration?

You don't need to manually add the pid values. If you click save config then hit enter it auto updates them in to the config file at the bottom of the config.

[@Lan_ny]

1:13 I won't suggest leveling this way as it's not the greatest method, use the SCREWS_TILT_ADJUST instead and the head/bl_touch will probe on top of the screw location and tell you what direction and how much to turn the knobs to make each corner level as that is the best you are going to get if your bed is warped.

[@WildRoseBuilds]

This is a great tip! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

[@Benny-br5xk]

What do you mean level according to the back left corner? The auxiliary leveling function has you start at the front left and end with the front right. Does the order change now that the back left corner is tightened all the way, or do I level it like normal?

Tkanks for this amazing tutorial! I was curious what retraction settings do you use in your timelapses because I don't see any stringing.

[@chiiiiaaa]

Thanks for the video man it's super helpful video for a newbie like me :D A couple questions re PID tuning. When you say turn on the part cooling fan for PID calibration, does that include the auxiliary fan array? As when I turn on my part cooling fan from Fluidd the auxiliary fan comes on with it - and that thing is blasting air 👀 When calibrating the bed PID do you still have the fan on? And if so where should I position the gantry so that the fan array is on the side blowing across the whole bed, rather than in the center as it was for the extruder calibration?

[@oaklynnmielcarek]

When I turn the fan on with the variable control in Fluidd, it only controls the auxiliary fan. I think he wants us to turn that fan on. If the noise bothers you, you can set that value to 80% which is equvialent to "normal" mode on the UI on the printer. He has you set it to "sport" mode mode with 100% fan speed on Fluidd.

[@Mr_Matthews]

I loosened what looked like the grub screw at the :54 mark, but that just made the top belt come free. It didn't release the gantry to level it. Unless you have to apply a ridiculous amount of force?

[@WildRoseBuilds]

This doesn’t release the entire gantry just the linkage between the 2 z axis rods. You’ll need to turn your lead screws by hand (or use excessive downward force) to move the x gantry low enough so you can level it to the printer frame. Also there should be 2 grub screws on each of the pulleys on top of the z axis lead screws. Let me know if that helps!

[@sharktooth31]

Thank you so much, Im new to printing and couldn't figure out why my bed was leveled but the corners seemed closer to the nozzle then the center

[@LapisLazuliEater]

google z binding and loosen the specific screws on the z-axis, not all the screws/bolts are supposed to be tight so the printer naturally compensates for imperfections in the screws

[@zrie_prakis]

Great guide!! Quick question - on the Pro, which section of the bed is heater_bed and which is heater_bed1? it seems that heater_bed1 is heating up for a heater_bed calibration and vice versa.

[@skaterpunk0187]

I have a Neptune 4 pro its is complete garage. The bed will not level. I set my Z offset go to auxiliary do the corners 1, 2, 3, 4 get them all set do another round 3 of them will be way to tight or too loose I'll adjust the nobs get each corner set right again. I'll go back to 1 and its way off again. This goes on and on, I could do this all day and have to adjust at least 2 of the 4. I know each adjustment will affect the others but not this drastic and I should eventually get to a point there the gap from the bed to the nozzle should be the same no matter no matter how many time I go around. If I had to guess there is something wrong with the Z axis, like when it goes down to the bed it stops at a different point every time. When I can get a couple layers down it works great. When I do get a usable print even if I print the same item I get all the leveling issues again. It won't stick to the bed stringy or mostly it just gets all stuck to the nozzle. I even got feeler gauges to make sure I was setting the gap properly. This is my first 3D printer so maybe I'm doing it wrong idk but i think i have watches every leveling video on KZbin. I have even followed this guide about a dozen time.

[@aaronramly1705]

Mine also didn't work. I was lucky it is printing in the air instead of leaving a groove on the build plate. This video also didn't show how to tune input shaping.

Yeah it looks like Elegoo stores the z-offset in a non-standard place. Just need to remember to only set the z-offset through the screen or through fluid but not both. Hopefully future firmware updates will be more compatible with standard klipper.

[@Relevant2MyInterest]

I don't know why he even included that tbh, it is better to just keep this set on the printer itself since you are adjusting it there to begin with. There's really no reason or benefit to do it within the config file that I can see.

If I'm not mistaken, the rear left knob is not spring loaded, and need to be tightened before performing the "manual" leveling process, so from this point the rest of the knobs will need to be approximately at the same level before performing the "firmware" hotend motion. Hopefully it makes some sense.

For those who are doing the EXTRUSION ROTATION TEST, few notes to save you hours of head scratching. 1. The G-Code is G91 according to the klipper document 2. You probably want to hit SAVE AND RESTART after you change the value in config file. But please correct me if I am wrong, I tested multiple times with results that almost no difference until I did this.

Just ordered one of these, thanks for the vid. Though Teaching tech has a e step calculator to help

You know damn well that most people watching gonna be like WTF is a cassette tape? They gonna have to Google it and then they will know how old you are and I am for making this comment lol.

[@daggerdeathclaw489]

Who doesn’t know what a cassette tape is??

[@Ryze-Crispy]

what raspberry pi is good for the neptune 4/4pro

[@jaylo6860]

I did this and now my z-offset will no longer save how I can fix this ? I regret so much doing this as printing after this has only been a huge pain in my ass!

[@SavageThor]

The pro has 2 heater zones in the bed. How do you PID tune both?

[@eliagorgolini748]

where can i find this software to tune the printer?

[@no.way.out_]

Unrelated question, how do you know to do all these? Like, we learn from you but where do you learn from?

[@davidpayne6544]

when i try the tuning tower part of this, the command is sent but nothing happens.. it just stays on this. // Starting tuning test (start=200.000000 step_delta=5.000000 step_height=5.000000)

[@stripedcollar335]

First, thank you for your work. I learned alot from this video about my new n4plus. I do have a question, though. at 1:45, you show input of command "bed_mesh calibrate". My machine returned "unknown command: "bed_mesh". I entered the command in the same console you did. Is it possible this command has been deleted by the devs? Have a great day everyone.

[@JBoElAsesino]

Will this work with the Neptune 4 Max?

[@habagabadaba]

ive done calibration as u shown but my benchy boat as still stringing

[@xMicrostar]

that has nothing to do with this video, strining comes from temp,fan,speed settings

[@SamCharlesPalmer]

this video is great but doesn't cover where to get the software to configure the e-steps or how to install it - does anyone have a link?

[@chronomize]

Yeah but how do I get the software and connect it to my printer and stuff

[@WildRoseBuilds]

The software is running / hosted ON your printer. Klipper comes bundled with a front end GUI that runs on the machine and can be found by entering the ip address of your printer into any web browser on the same network. Let me know if that helps

[@chronomize]

@@WildRoseBuilds that clears some things up, thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to connect my printer to the Internet.

[@carloz7253]

Also another Tip From my Side, dont tight all screws/bolts, i did and spend 3 days to find the issue why my z Offset ist messed Up again and again and again. Than after i paused the Print i saw that the Heat die Not moved all the way Up....

[@Goodgamer78]

This is great! Thank you!

[@mikel9292]

How tight Z axis wheels should be? I can rotate freely one of them using my finger. Is that ok?

[@evansands4319]

ok so i my be completely lost. but i do not see nor do i know where to find this kilpper program?
