How to use the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro 3D Printer

[@Eastcoastweldah508]

i just got the neptune 3 max. never have i touched a 3D printer. you are a life saver!!!!!

[@eosme]

i love the colors! gonna get a neptune 3pro now..

[@everythingSTEM]

Enjoy!

[@Redlinenel]

Thank you for the easy steps love it!!!

[@paulw4259]

Thanks. That's a very clear introduction to the process.

[@ezrakoper]

Thank you. I have just ordered it from Amazon and trying to learn how to use it. My question is how do I modify the design. Let’s say zoom it by 10% or shrink it a little or change x y ratio? What software should I use for that

[@LunchBXcrue]

I just bought this one, waiting at the door like "were my pakegeee" That filament looks awesome, I bought some regular black stuff from elegoo and then some other stuff from a different grand that is gold and purple. Can't wait to try it out.

[@everythingSTEM]

Enjoy!!

[@alexanderpopov3587]

Very good practical explanation, thank you!

[@andrechanthery7197]

thank you for the instructions

[@thomaswakefield6889]

I just got the Neptune 3 pro. During the bed leveling process, does the print nozzel actually touch the bed for all 36 points before doing the A4 paper test

[@TH3C4NN4BL3C0W]

very useful, thank you

[@Gurfmanj]

What a big help! You're amazing!

[@noahsmith_0495]

how did u do the time-lapse and make the head don't move in the video

[@brody2642]

Getting mine tomorrow!

[@eleshop]

Awesome tutorial, thanks!!!

[@ulevlogs420]

Where in the website page did you find the Cura to download

[@cgriesemer]

When you saved it...what file format did you choose? STL? Gcode? Other?

[@finnawennijpels6045]

Gcode

[@MrHellsing76]

So, I'm hitting an issue with my Neptune 3 max, all the axis work, the temp is fine, but no matter how many new hotends, or Proximity sensors I replace, the Homing fails on the Z, going up a little bit, and then a little bit more, I've bought a new hotend with new sensor, same problem, I've swapped with the hotend from the Neptune 3 plus, same problem, I'd replaced the Proximity Sensor from another defective 3 Max, same problem. It gives me the red light so the sensor works, until it needs to work. What is going on with this machine?

[@TheTazzman48]

Excellent video really helped, thank you. Could you please help with one aspect I am still struggling with, namely retraction setting I'm getting a lot of stringing when I print 2 or more models having not used a direct drive printer before I do not know what length of retraction or the speed to set in the slicer. Thank you also subscribed to your channel.

[@everythingSTEM]

Do you have the Neptune 3 pro or another printer?

[@TheTazzman48]

Hi, yes I have the Neptune 3 Pro.@@everythingSTEM

[@GlyphAnim]

newbie to 3d printing but i've been running into a stringing problem after using this printer. my first attempt was because of the temperature, after changing that the print was starting to come along nicely. but on that second print but eventually began to string up again, it might be because i was using multiple models in the print, or it could be because of their scale. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[@everythingSTEM]

Contact their support they are excellent - you can send them a picture of your print

[@nitroblitz3039]

I accidently got the printer clogged what do I have to do since I removed everything on the sides and the filament goes out the other end but the wheel isn't turning anymore(the one that automatically feeds the filament in)

[@Panda-ux5lk]

I got a 3d printer and we did not know what to do so we looked up how to do it and I found your channel

[@everythingSTEM]

Glad to help!

[@Joh750]

I have Neptune 3 Pro and version Cura 5.5.0 How did you save your STL file on the SD card. I have window 10. The SD card does not appear in file explorer..! When I try to save, it always goes to file explorer of my PC and there is no SD card option. I also have an issue before printing that the temperature always defaults to 200 and 70. I usually use for PLA 225 and 65. Even if I change the temperature setting for PLA, it will ways go to 200/70 default. It does seem to keep my settings for PLA. Also I had a power failure printing and was not able to get the project to continue when power was returned. I lost a 13hr project.

[@kalebbray8466]

Same it’s soo hard

[@thebat6651]

I purchased a used neptune 3 pro. I'm having issues with layer lines and supports damaging the print when I pull them off. Also the fan runs a little loud. Any ideas on how to fix my issues?

[@everythingSTEM]

Are you using Elegoo cura as your slicing software?

[@MaximRodin-s9u]

The filament detector is also useful for almost empty spools, when you don't know when you're going to run out of filament.

[@everythingSTEM]

Absolutely!

[@MaximRodin-s9u]

@@everythingSTEM Yeah. And remember the KP5L? The filament sensor was put on the side. It couldn't be disabled, so people were forced to either jam it with a piece of plastic or use the stupid filament holder.

[@Panda-ux5lk]

Also I like the shark is cool

[@kevins1615]

What are you using to make those Timelapse videos? Those are really cool!

[@everythingSTEM]

Thanks! Beagleprint camera

[@RDUBTutorial]

Video really helped me with answers to bunch of my beginner questions. I have a Neptune 3 max and wondering if you have used sunlu pla+ filament … did it require special settings? Thanks

[@everythingSTEM]

@@RDUBTutorial I'd check what the manufacturer recommends - sometimes PLA+ recommends a higher nozzle temp. Haven't used that particular filament yet :)

[@finnawennijpels6045]

​@@RDUBTutoriali will not recommend sunlu pla for a neptune ot will make a lot of stringing use elegoo pla that is the best and cheapest

[@Panda-ux5lk]

And you helped us

[@Anonymous-oe1do]

I cleaned my Nozzle and cleaned my gears. I leveled the bed and loaded the filament, but nothing is still coming out. Any Suggestions?

[@Anonymous-oe1do]

I'm using USB should I use the SD Card instead.

[@everythingSTEM]

If no filament is coming out then your issue is likely with the loading process. Elegoo has good support if you reach out!

[@mrdennyb21220]

You gave beautiful hands

[@AcesFullo]

thanks this helped alot :) godbless

[@everythingSTEM]

You're welcome!

[@Johadart]

Hi, can you do tpu on this printer, as well as abs before I purchase it, please and Thankyou , you’ve got an addictive voice, just saying.. 😘

[@everythingSTEM]

Yes you can use TPU, PETG, ABS and PLA :)

[@camaradeKC]

but care with ABS its kinda hard (if not impossible) to perfectly print it without enclosure. Also can release CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic substances) which is kinda not nice

[@Johadart]

@@camaradeKC thanks for the info 🤙🏼🇦🇺

[@_mysteryham]

What do you do if you have a pc with a hard drive

[@KumjaLee-gz9zq]

I also got this 3d printer😅

[@camaradeKC]

for some reason my pla refuse to stick to the platform if i dont put the platform at 65°C XD

[@everythingSTEM]

Make sure your level is perfect. If that doesn’t help try adding some glue stick to the platform.

[@camaradeKC]

@@everythingSTEM can it be because of my room humidity ?

[@Робототехникаотдетейдлядетей]

Thank you Captain Obvious!

[@michaelsteele1128]

Not everyone knows the steps and are just getting into 3d printing and they did a great job at outlining the basics of starting off

[@Робототехникаотдетейдлядетей]

@@michaelsteele1128 This printer is so good and easy to use that you could just watch any video on how to use A 3D printer in general and be fine with it
