Extremely helpful and to the point. I really appreciate your not adding filler just to extend the video length. This earns you another subscriber.

[@BV3D]

Awesome, thank you! Also, please note that as of Cura 5.3, it has these printers already in it.

[@donaldv9]

Elegoo support sent me that link last week when I questioned them about cura not having their latest printers. Nice job presenting it. Thank you!

[@philhuston9426]

The Cura 5.6 does have the Elegoo built-in but this video was a lifesaver if for no other reason than and OK to punt the ships-with branded Cura. Big help, got my grandson up and running without any of that first run grampa fail. Thanks!

[@tomasalexandrugrigore5770]

This Guy is the GOAT. I was really confused when Cura only had two printers under Elegoo. Thank you very much

[@KaiRedfern]

I really appreciate the simplicity, in which you explained everything and showed exactly what to do. More videos should be like yours where it’s simple, clear and to the point! Subscribed!

[@Sameyoshi111]

Yo, this helped me a LOT. Thank you so much!🥰

[@UltraMarine22297]

I'm about to get into the 3D printing world and I really appreciate how quickly and efficiently you walked us through this. Awesome vid, thanks

[@ToddRumbach]

This is one of the most helpful videos I've seen. Thanks BV3D😀

[@chriskeeble]

Just purchased an Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus - first few prints were sliced using Elegoo's Cura 4 - have just switched to Cura 5 and followed your instructions to add the profiles. Had to reset Cura 5 to start with, and then followed your instructions and everything worked perfectly so far. Off to run a test print. Thank you!

[@wonderboyrox]

Was looking for exactly this content. Your explanation was flawless, concise, easy to follow, and worked perfectly! Subscribed

[@nortonshields8405]

these machines are already updated on Cura - I was hoping for Neptune 4. However, your video was very good at doing this and in the future I will keep a look out for the update. In the mean time I will purchase another machine other than Elegoo - if a company can't update their software they don't need my money. Thanks again Brian . . . .

[@randogame4438]

Yeah, I have the 4 pro and Neptunes slicer is so laggy it's virtually unusable. Unfortunately Naruto hasn't updated his files.

[@deanwest1805]

I just checked the repo and he added the Neptune 4 pro 6 months ago.

[@jimday1198]

@@deanwest1805yep verified, I just checked and there’s a RESOURCES-Cura5.4.0 folder which has the Neptune 4 pro files in the definitions folder. I’m going to try the definitions tonight for my new Neptune 4 Pro.

[@elainejoyce8347]

This was ridiculously helpful, thank you so much for making this and saving SO SO SO much time!

[@chrisbarley.]

Wow, great timing on this video for me - just got a Neptune 3 Plus two weeks ago and this is a huge help!

[@Viperuk80]

Thank you so much, I just got my Neptune 3 pro delivered this morning and before this i manually entered some code last week.. now I can do it properly.

[@kennethmaschke9407]

It's great to know these printers have been officially added to the newest Cura build. Great video I went ahead, and installed the latest build of Cura, and these showed up automatically, I did have to factory reset the settings because it detected the files from the Elegoo Cura build, and said they were corrupted, oh well lol.

[@LadyAstolat]

THANK YOU! This has been an annoyance with my Elegoo printer for some time now. Doin' the lord's work over there!

[@seanlava]

this is AWESOME!! Thank you. My old laptop wouldn't load the Elegoo Cura software, but it could load 5.2, this allows me to access the Neptune 3 Pro profile.

[@joereader8104]

I came across your video today. I was hopping someone would do something like this. Leave it to Naruto. I've printed three things so far today using the Neptune 3 settings and all came out great. I got tired of having to modify the Ender 3 settings. Thank you Bryan.

[@amandamoger9648]

Just got the neptune 4 pro and was missing my cura 5.4 im used to...worked a treat and that databse has pro4 setting in so thanks a lot for your very helpful video.....Regards from Tasmania....

[@thepaparomeo]

Just picked up the Neptune Max. I appreciate this man!

[@riikuun1963]

Just got my Neptune 3 Plus and thanks to you and this detailed video my printer is up and running! Thanks for the help!

[@joshbailey4124]

Great concise video ive now used twice for two diff ver of cura, thanks!

[@BV3D]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chadchittenden9943]

perfect video I just got my Neptune 3 Max and this perfect step by step video was a huge help. Now I just need to find the settings for printing full size star wars helmets.

[@robertsneed3171]

Thanks so much I am waiting for a neptune 2s and this helps so much.

[@scottbayreder8699]

Thank you so much for this!! I currently own the Neptune X and Neptune 3 Pro and have been stuck using Elegoo's version of Cura (didn't even know there were different versions aside from the version number). I'm looking forward to the review of the Neptune 3 Pro, as I have not been able to use mine yet due to hotend issues out of the box. The Neptune X has been a workhorse for me though

[@fpvsmurf]

Elegoo version cura that bad? I just got my printer was going to start with elegoo cura first anyway but now I saw this video..... Idk I mean how bad can 4.something be

[@tornap4rt]

Thank you soooooo much for this!! This really saved me a headache! I just got the Neptune 3 max and needed to use it on cura! Once again, thank you!

[@mertz7305]

I cannot slam that like button hard enough for how much you deserve it this time. 😂

[@Hanzi2u]

great stuff , short and precise video , liked and subbed and ofc thanks to Nathans config files!!

[@jeffadams755]

thanks so much for this has cleaned up all of my printing problems with the Neptune 3 Pro

[@xDIRTYDEEDS75x]

This is great! Thank you for this, it was much needed. 🤙🏼

[@Spirited282]

thank you very much for this. I had copy and pasted the GCode from the Elegoo Cura over but it bothered me that i had a Ender Logo, lol. This video made it simple

[@dougcairns]

Great concise video that did not waste time. Subbed

[@williamcaldwell9431]

This video was incredible helpful! Thanks

[@Iconoclasm1790]

Not all heroes wear capes... Thank you for this!

[@mskmac3219]

Thanks for the video, been needing this, i have a couple neptune printers but have been using either ender 3 or neptune 2 configs

[@TMad_3D]

It worked!! Although, now I'm debating on the Neptune 3 plus and the Sovol sv3...

[@davidholguin4387]

Man you are a life saver thank you brotha 👏🏼👏🏼

[@ChiefBridgeFuser]

Just grabbed Cura 5.6. It has Neptune 3 Max already in the printer list. Printing now, for first time with that, but seems like it's right.

[@sn-vi4kn]

Thanks for the video, so today I will try it. Thanks. 👍

[@davesbrickanimation7205]

this was so helpful. thank you so much

[@watsonstudios]

Awesome! This is perfect because I want to be able to access the material compensation settings to adjust for shrinkage. 👍

[@ThatOnlineDog]

Ultimaker cura now has the printers built in

[@DJProPlusMax]

Great! Thank you very much, Bryan!

[@BV3D]

You are quite welcome!

[@diegodealmeida9569]

Many thx man ! it helped a lot

[@willmercier2852]

I noticed at some point they released an updated version of Elegoo Cura 5.6 that has updated profiles for the neptune 3 series also. I took the settings from those and translated them to Orca slicer, they seem to work pretty well.

[@bryank8531]

Thanks for the info!

[@ecgtechnologies]

Thank you mate!!

[@BV3D]

No problem 👍

[@thebrokenrojin5916]

really appreciate it. it also contains profiles for neptune 4 pro which i just ordered so im hoping this works out well. thanks!

[@jorgeivanlopezvazquez8628]

Tendrás el perfil para neptune 4? Yo descargue los archivos pero solamente esta la 4 pro

[@tlynn4239]

thank you for this info.

[@Candi2.0]

What about the Elegoo Neptune 4 max?

[@maykd4481]

Cura 5.3.0 up, have settings for Elegoo Neptune 3 (plus,pro,max etc)

[@ianmanseau1397]

Any advice on adding the Neptune 4 Max

[@tannerwatson1216]

Thank you so much man!

[@bonssc]

Any chance of doing the Neptune 4 Max settings

[@renadnd8054]

I have a Neptune 4 max lol what can I do? Can I put 3 marks is it a same ?

[@JoeRedstone]

Very helpful 🎉

[@xALPHAxJULIETx]

Not gonna lie... I rarely give out likes for vids... But this was incredibly helpful... And you earned it. Kudos!

[@Ryu.Otomotif]

is this profile suitable for nep 4 pro?

[@jmwetterene7459]

super vidéo mon amis merci

[@axellmora8986]

Thank you so much!

[@hinrichmeijer2379]

I've just ordered a new Neptune 4 Max. When can I do this for the 4?

[@WoodworkJourney]

Great video, but it didn't fix my issue with Cura not finding the profile info for my regular Neptune 3, 'There are no profiles that match the configuration' is what comes up. To make things worse, even the Elegoo download doesn't work as my M1 Mac says the file is broken and won't work.

[@richardwillcox4097]

Very clear and useful Brian. But where are the files for the Elegoo Neptune 4 pro ?

[@patrickpattes]

Thank you !

[@arcort669]

Does this work for neptune 4 max?I didn't see it

[@undead8441]

thank you very much for this video :)

[@GregSpence]

Cura 5.7.2 seems to now include all the Elegoo printers.

[@BV3D]

Hi! It does, and I'm glad - it saves people the effort of doing this, AND it shows that Cura rolls these printer definitions into the product on a regular basis. It's a win for everyone!

[@vinanderson2535]

Really need this but for neptune 4

[@daniellongoni2360]

super helpfull thaks so much

[@radioactivescalerc]

How do we get the print preview/thumbnail to work on the neptune 3 Pro using cura 5.3.1

[@Dave_D.]

So to use the latest version of Cura w/ the profiles for Elegoo Neptune 3's, you have to use Cura on a PC? Can't change what's on the printer itself? Ohhh, looks like they have a Linux version as well....thought it was going to be Win and Mac only.

[@flippedengineering1676]

Amazing!!! Thank you!

[@isniphsi7843]

Is there already a possibility for the new 4 pro printers?

[@MountainCatBob]

I just received the Neptune 4Pro, and there is no information available yet. I was hoping to understand how to import some of the vast number of print formats into files that the Neptune 4 can understand, and it appears there is little conversion software available. Elegoo has not been helpful in this regard.

[@97samperio]

Is there a way to do this with prusa slicer?

[@drusus02]

What about the Elegoo Neptune 4 and 4 plus? I see one for the 4 pro only.

[@MrMoney316-r2x]

cura 5.4 build currently has a majority of neptune profiles already included...However they do not have a profile for Neptune 4 pro which sucks because I just ordered that printer.

[@KatieMcEachran]

I am new to 3D printing and just purchase Ultimaker, and even the version that is came pre-loaded isn't allowing me to print anything other than the 2 pre-loaded test runs. Anytime I slice and try to print something else I get told "Move out of Range" I have been trying to fix this for almost a week and no one can seem to help. Can you??

[@melvinellis9097]

Thanks pal

[@ricardorodrigues777]

Would you help me? I just purchased the "Elegoo NEPTUNE 4 PLUS" and I need to know how to install its profile?

[@pixelcroissant]

THANK YOU

[@Diepvienhack]

Awesome! however 5.30 ultimate cura we can find elegoo 3, plus & max, but i cant set thumbnail on lcd screen elegoo 3 plus unless i using elegoo software. can i using to get thumbnail 5.30 ultimate cura with that?

[@jedinht77]

thank you

[@joedogmckeel]

I just got the Nep 4 Max and already have the Cura 5.6.0 but it's not listed with it, Yet. Is there any patches for that out there? Or am I stuck with the older version until someone makes a patch?

[@confuzzeled4lyf]

im having difficulty. i added the printer easily, but i cannot get it to print in the center. its printing just to the right of the center. is there a setting in cura to change it based on the x/y home settings. I have neptune 3 pro.

[@mem5922]

What if I have Elegoo Cura 4.8 already installed?? Do I install Cura 5.3 over existing or fresh new install THEN apply files according to your video? Or, apply files first and do 5.3 upgrade?

[@lauraconnolly663]

Is there not something like this for Prusa slicer? ; x ; I use Prusa as Cura was giving me way too much trouble and am now used to Prusa fully. -_-,

[@TheRotorhound]

Very nice.

[@BV3D]

Thank you! 😁

[@raffined]

Thanks Bryan!! I have some questions, though (I'm a beginner, so sorry in advance ;D). Using your method, the new Printhead Seetings in Ultimaker Cura (V5.2.2) differ from the old ones in ELEGOO Cura for some reason. I'm using an ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro and the settings are the following: ELEGOO Cura Printhead Settings / Ultimaker Cura Printhead Settings: X min: -20 mm / -55 mm Y min: -10 mm / -35 mm X max: 10 mm / 55 mm Y max: 10 mm / 30 mm Gantry Height: 285 mm / 260 mm Number of Extruders: 1 / 1 Are the different Printhead Settings ok like that, or should I change the values back to the ones that were used in ELEGOO Cura? Also in Ultimaker Cura there is the option "Apply Extruder offsets to GCode" available and ticked now - is that important here? Thanks a lot! :)

[@borotes9125]

I had the same problem.. I found 3 different Configs... the from the Elegoo Cura, Settings for Cura 5.2.2 and Cura 5.3 has again other ones..

[@yeetlord9940]

Can u do a video about adding a cr touch to the ender 3 max pro v2 with Sprite hot end

[@randomblog2479]

Thanks

[@tomashernandez1546]

Hi Bryan: In the last version of Ultimaker Cura (V.5.6.0) there is a slice for Elegoo Neptune 3 plus inside. Do you know if this slice works correctly? Thank you

[@BV3D]

Hi, I am 99% sure the current version of Cura has the same profiles I was showing how to install in the video. So the ones you have in 5.6.0 should be the correct ones.

[@tomashernandez1546]

Thank you Bryan

[@gangster6229]

what is the printer that is on your table

[@Sventastic_78]

Thx for the video. still same way to go with Neptune 4 / 4 pro and Cura 5.4.0. Naruto is up to date.

[@laurawi5168]

where did you find the neptune 4? In my Cura i can only see the 4 pro

[@Sventastic_78]

​@@laurawi5168 Sorry I got the 4 Pro. but there is not much difference between the Neptune 4 and the Neptune 4 pro Neptune 4 Pro has an 'all metal dual-axis guide rails' and 'double-row ball U-shaped bearing' on the X and Y axis'. The non-pro has POM V-guide rails. The Neptune Pro has a segmented heated zones (one section at 100w and the other at 150w). This allows for smarter and quicker heating of the print surface in some scenarios. The non-pro has a single 250w heating element below the build plate.

[@RCMod-wb3ki]

Any updates for Neptune 4? I cant detect via ip or anything

[@Jfana]

Does not work for Neptune 2S. It is listed but will not allow you to click next in the initial setup 😢

[@justinmenzies2398]

Hey, I loaded my sd card at home and am working out of town, my printer seemed to have deleted some files on the sd card. Tried the files at home and they worked, but now that I’m away from the computer.. nothing is working. Have any ideas?

[@colincampbell3679]

Cool.. the Neptune 3 Plus looking like the one I will replace my troublesome Tronxy X5SA printer with? The only thing I worry about after seeing your awesome review of the Elegoo Neptune Plus printer is, you showed the bed has 6 adjustment leveling knobs for the bed height. After having the Neptune 3 printer with no adjustment knobs for the bed due to the auto leveling on it, I worry about doing the adjustments to the bed leveling? After all, that is one of the reasons for the trouble I am having with the Tronxy printer bed leveling! So is the 6 leveling knobs of the Plus causing you any worries? As It be bad to buy this as the Tronxy replacement and then find out the manual 6 knob leveling of the bed is as bad as the Tronxy! Also the power loss recovery you said don't work on the Neptune 3 Plus, do you think Elegoo will fix this with a update firmware soon and if so will they tell the buyers to update it? Thanks for the help. 😉

Admittedly, I tried this with Cura 5.6, but it doesn't seem to work. The Neptune 4 Pro does not show up as an option under non-networked printers. Is this because the github limits to cura 5.4 and I use 5.6, or is there something else playing?

[@m.samsungj3392]

Brian, thanks again for another great video! This may have been answered before but I was wondering if there was a similar solution for Creality printers. I have an Ender-3 S1 Pro. I've taken an Ender 3 machine profile and modified it best I could but I think having the correct profile files would make better prints. Thanks for any help you can provide!
