I bought a BROKEN Neptune 4 Max!

[@psychorotica4770]

Those nuts are supposed to be offset from center (or crooked and bent looking) it they are made that way so you can turn them in ways to make them either tighter onto the gantry or looser. There are ones like that on every axis so you can make adjustments. 👍🏻

[@NimbusDesu]

@@psychorotica4770 interesting. I'll check on them again to see how they're doing. Thanks!

[@LMG3D3DPrintingEnthusiast]

concentric nuts they are used to tighten those wheels to the rails. You turn those nuts while it is assembled and it tightens the wheels to the rails.

[@NimbusDesu]

Weird looking things. Haha I messed with them after I put back. Made it solid. 💪🏼

[@LMG3D3DPrintingEnthusiast]

@@NimbusDesu Yes they are offset for that very reason, turning them draws the wheel closer to the rail. They are used to tighten up any rail assembly on your printer. I do not own this printer but Any modern 3d printer with those polley wheels should have at least one or a set of wheels with concentric nuts. Your Z axis and X axis if they have the same type of wheel should also have concentric nuts to allow you to snug everything up easily.

[@NimbusDesu]

@@LMG3D3DPrintingEnthusiast Nice! I'll keep an eye on them from time to time. Thanks!

[@AndyGarcia-j8b]

Wow! Awesome. Is my mic in that closet?

[@WhatsTheWordBozo]

I have a neptune 3 max and it works amazingly. Too bad the fedex guy drop kicked it to your door. That hotend assembly is simply f'd. I'd definitely call for a whole replacement.

[@NimbusDesu]

Yeah, I'm done with Neptune from now on. Lol

[@WhatsTheWordBozo]

@@NimbusDesu I can't blame you, I would feel the same way. They are amazing for things like cosplay but their size is also insane. If I got mine and it was broke I probably would have gotten rid of it because its size is just too much on top of it being broken.

[@NimbusDesu]

@@WhatsTheWordBozo Yeah, but I want the size only for cosplay. So I gotta look into other big printers. We'll see. Maybe not for a while.

[@slaughterman44]

@@NimbusDesu I hear Kobra (maybe 2) Max is good

[@NimbusDesu]

@@slaughterman44 I'll look into those. Thanks.

[@Spartacusse]

Aww c'mon man, that hotend was 100% repairable, the casing just needed to be plastic soldered from the inside with a soldering iron and the heatbreak just needed to be bent back into shape, maybe replaced, it is antithetical to the 3d printing spirit to just buy a complete replacement assembly unless it's for upgrades.

[@NimbusDesu]

Haha you're right. Should've just printed a new one. 😅

[@slaughterman44]

I bought a preowned one but in good condition

[@NimbusDesu]

Luuuuuucky 😩 No issues or anything?

[@slaughterman44]

@@NimbusDesu I hope so, haven't got it delivered yet. I meant I clicked the "Good Used" option on their website and ordered that. Says it should only be missing the accessories which I already have

[@NimbusDesu]

@@slaughterman44 Nice! Comment back and lmk how it goes. It should be better condition than this. 😅😵‍💫

[@slaughterman44]

@@NimbusDesu update: works great! Even came with some of the accessories it said it wouldn't but I think its more of a don't expect them but if your lucky you'll get them kinda thing. Very happy with my purchase, no big issues I've noticed. Some print quality but I'm printing fast so I assume it's from that

[@NimbusDesu]

@@slaughterman44 dude, that's awesome! With this printer, after 3 prints, I have to adjust the Z Axis. But it's crazy how off the adjustment I have to make compared to the one I made that worked first. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@StevenKelley]

How can people abuse a 3d printer so much? clearly some people shouldn't own one gezzzz.

[@NimbusDesu]

Insane right? Lol

[@KrunkTheMadMan]

Wow. You bought a Neptune 4 Max. They're all broken.....

[@NimbusDesu]

Haha Yup! Seems that way. 😅 What would you recommend? I'm tired of broken printers. 😩

[@KrunkTheMadMan]

@@NimbusDesu I still hope the bugs continue to get smashed on the neptune 4 line. When mine works, it's an absolute beast. I have a Bambu P1S that works well and I'm looking at that new Ender V3 or K1C.

[@NimbusDesu]

@@KrunkTheMadMan my next one might be a multicolor printer. Been wanting to give that a shot

[@KrunkTheMadMan]

@@NimbusDesu I'm with you there. I didn't see a reason to buy the AMS on the P1S, now I wish I had. There are other options out there (12+ colors), but you really have to have everything tuned in for them to work.

[@NimbusDesu]

@@KrunkTheMadMan Yeah. They just seem like a less hassle but their software and everything is proprietary so you can't do much. But they work, so it doesn't matter.

[@AndyGarcia-j8b]

Wow! Awesome. Is my mic in that closet?

[@NimbusDesu]

It is!
