Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro - Klipper 3D Printer - Unbox & Setup

[@JDexter0319]

Literally the best startup video I have ever watched. You should be doing this for the manufacturers. Thanks for making this, it was a huge help!

[@_bravo_8581]

I got this printer as a gift and I was a little overwhelmed after opening the box. After watching this video the printer is assembled, properly aligned, and ready for printing. Thank you!

Same!!

[@JonneytheKidd]

Thank you a million times over for doing this explainer video. I am new to 3D printing, and the tutorial video they offer just has music playing in the background, with no explanation. This is huge for me.

[@nigelhanson12]

Just got into 3D printing and have to say this is the best tutorial video I have ever watched. Absolutely incredibly made. Thank you so much!!!!

[@CrashnServers]

I just ordered one and this was the best video i have watched as to what i should expect when it arrives. Thanks for taking the time to put this together for us. 😊

[@0TedDBear0]

Perfect timing! Just got one of them delivered today and set it up watching your vid. Little Buddha is printing right now. Thanks, man!

[@haydenunsell]

i just ordered this printer and look forward to using it. i bought it with level expectations. i’m not expecting the very best like the bambu x-1c for my uses for it. i do scale radio control and make a few tools and stuff of my own design here and there and the quality doesn’t need to smooth as butter. it just needs to look 90% and it appears to do exactly that. super stoked to get it set up!

[@susan3156]

61yo female here and I will say, it was very easy to set up. Of course watching your video helped a lot. Thanks 🙏

[@jeremyashort]

Hi @susan3156, how is your experience going with the Neptune 4 Pro now that it's 6 months later? Still working well for you?

[@SumDetailingguy]

NOT ANYMORE Do not get this printer do not get this printer. I've had their Neptune three and I don't know what happened. I'm pretty sure they sold the company off. This is a completely different machine is absolutely horrible like absolutely horrible. I can't even get the thing to work and I used to print on Neptune three for over half a year I made hundreds of dollars.

[@geoffhowells4165]

Pretty amazing how the falling price-point of technology continues to pull more people into the game. Not bad for an inexpensive entry. And I am quite satisfied with their low-cost filament for prototyping purposes. Elegoo seems to be satisfying its targeted market. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@cameltoast]

I was talking with the guy who got me into 3d printing (only 7 or so years ago) and how much it has changed, as things have become more accessible and easier. Also how "influencers" have became prevalent. "Fans" of certain manufacturers that have popped up too.

[@davedempsey5282]

I'm a fan of Elegoo, mostly because I'm a fan of the price point and that they seem to deliver the most you can get for the price point. I have had the Neptune 3 Pro, now have the Mars 4 Max and am about to get the Neptune 4 Pro. Good customer service too, which is important.

[@DigitalJedi]

@@davedempsey5282 Just thought I'd ask, but how's your experience been with the 4 Pro so far? I'm about to pick one up myself and I'm torn between the size offered by the 4+ and the sturdier materials in the 4 Pro.

[@davedempsey5282]

@@DigitalJedi Didn't get it. Got a Sovol SV06 Plus instead. But the best thing I have had is the Artillery Sidewinder X4 Plus. Wicked fast, klipper, big, rod supports, and rails. All there for $319 when I got mine, I think a bit more now.

G'day m8.....i just won a Choice of Neptune 4 Pro or a Mars 4 Ultra 9K from Elegoo for newyears. Ive gone with the Neptune as my main building is FDM based. Now i have a Ender 3 V2 (modded), a Kywoo Tycoon Max (soon to be slightly Modded) and recently before Xmas my Sunlu S4 Arrived From Kickstarter (an excellent dryer and will do any Filament of up to 4 rolls). and for xmas my fam got me the Elegoo Mercury X Bundle to go with my Nova3d Whale 2 4k Mid size MSLA Resin Printer. Cheers for this in-depth review of the Neptune 4 Pro. This helped me make my choice to go with the FDM. A big cheers from A M8 Downunder..(Australia)

[@tilakjain]

Very nicely done, helped me get started. Excellent job. Thank you!

[@LeDanCoste]

Thank you for this video! I thought I would give 3D printing another go after some bad luck with an ancient anet printer, and the first print was perfect.

[@BriansModelTrains]

I bought one - Speed and interest in klipper influenced my purchase. Waiting for mine to arrive today. Your videography and presentation is excellent. Been printing since 2016. Started with an Anet A8 I built and modded. This will be my fourth FDM printer. They keep getting better. Anet A8 -> Ender 3 -> Neptune 3 -> Neptune 4. I tried resin printing but found it too messy. I have been using Octopi for my past printers. No need with this.

[@adamkwiatek318]

Thank you very much Vlad for making this video. Incredibly helpful, especially for beginners.

[@BriansModelTrains]

I love my Elegoo 3 Pro. The 4 does not use a generic nozzle so I am passing on this model. I like everything else about this printer.

[@CapacitorCapacity]

How is a volcano nozzle not "generic" enough for you?

[@BriansModelTrains]

@@CapacitorCapacity To my knowledge it uses a proprietary nozzle that you can only get from Elegoo. You may wish to search Elegoo 4 replacement nozzles.

[@AphroditesCreativeChronicles]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! I did it!!!!!!!!!

[@ffaorlandu]

I would advise against manually pushing filament in to purge the line. I've clogged a lot of nozzles on my Neptune 4 Pro doing that. Once I stopped, not a single clogged nozzle since. Otherwise great video.

[@dennispittsley9718]

Received my Neptune 4 pro today, I subscribed and watched several of your videos, which are amazing for a slow learner like me. If I could, would you be able too answer some questions when I get frustrated with the amount of knowledge needed to operate with confidence ?

[@hughjazz5608]

Thank you so much for this Vlad!

[@hansiminator69]

Thinking about starting my way into 3D-Printing and this sounds like a pretty convincing product! And for under 300 bucks, it's still pretty affordable as well! :)

[@jacobwerstler7266]

It's my first time getting one (Christmas). I feel stupid, not from the video, but by everything I don't know. If you find any useful tricks to design or finding g plans let me know.

[@wk5199]

It would've been nice to touch on the segmented heatbed, which is a feature the regular 4 doesn't have.

[@Cracem]

Hey Vlad, if you can’t answer, can someone else please? I keep having failed prints. I followed every instruction. It keeps coming off of the plate and it won’t stay on. I have the right filament, I lubricated the rails, and I have the right model. Can someone please help me?

[@dili39823]

What type of printing filament are you using? Maybe the reason for not sticking is that the bed temperature is not adjusted well. For example, ABS needs a higher temperature to stick well. Also, the huge fan in the background must be turned off, which is almost useless except with PLA, which may require rapid cooling. There is also a special glue for the bed if all your previous attempts fail.

[@wolfganggosejacob779]

3:20 - What kind of leveling probe is this? pressure? magnetic? vibration? pen? bending ? ...

[@jshanks]

ABS without an enclosure? That is pretty amazing. I am doing my first print on mine right now (tool holder) in PLA. I think I will try ASA at some point

[@Rahul166]

Do you recommend this instead of sovol sv07 ?

[@j.s.8583]

My printer on some prints, usually circles, seems to have issues with the base layer and seems to not adhere very well sometimes. Its almost like there's not enough flow. Weird thing is though, on other prints, they come out amazingly perfect. Any suggestions? Incredible start up video btw. Thank you.

[@Sigmasigmaaboyy]

Amazing review!

One thing I have noticed is that when it goes to the center at 25:16, well, you can see that point is highly deviated from the center of the bed. Is it normal?

[@sumfelix]

It is. It puts the magnetic sensor in the middle, not the nozzle. The magnetic sensor is at the back, at the extreme left side of who's looking at it.

[@juliusvalentinas]

It cant print round mechanical stuff so no its just a toy you have to sell cheaper then you bought it to get rid of it. Get resin printer instead

[@zurabtsereteli9195]

@@juliusvalentinasI’m sorry, you sound really stupid right now hating on FDM printers. I personally don’t want to deal with a resin printer myself. - Smaller build volume most of the time. - Too much wasted support material. - Puts out VOCs and fumes, needs ventilation. - Parts require post processing. - Harder to use.

[@benjamintheengineer]

I love what this 3D printer can do, but how do I set the correct parameters to print what I need? I did something to muck up the leveling and now it's either not touching (or even barely touching) the build plate, or it's dragging along the plate, potentially damaging it. Plus i tried the knobs where you can fine-tune it, but i don't notice any difference. Help plz 😶

[@austinkeithgrant]

What do I do when I'm ready to turn everything off? The machine has pre-heated for the offset process, but I'm finished now!

[@russshanks5913]

Great video. Question: can you plug Ethernet port of Elegoo into laptop Ethernet port and have it work?

[@russshanks5913]

Found best solution for me was to get a WiFi extender from Amazon that has an ethernet port and then just plug ethernet cable from WiFi extender to Neptune 4 Pro.

I really liked your video. Is it true that this printer tends to jam and that it is very difficult to unclog it? the other. Could you tell me about your experience with her? Does having a physical klipper make a big difference compared to the klipper that this printer uses?

[@BigDHova]

Kind of odd none of the N4s that got sent to content creators have the ususal z-offset issue. Seems kind of shady on Elegoo's part.

[@ChinaAl]

Does this have a filament change feature?

[@YouTube_Nr.1]

That’s odd. In some KZbin videos the bed of the 4 Pro is insulated and here in this video it’s not insulated. 😮

[@TomAnsuini]

Great video. Thank you for that. My question is do you have to use Fast filament or can you work with regular PLA+?

[@thejueanu321]

Don’t know if you got a response but you can use regular PLA. Apparently the fast filament is just designed to work better when printing at higher speeds

[@marekm6523]

My neptune 4 bed mesh is 11 on 11 points 😅. Second think I have big issue with print ringing/ wobbling. I tried almost everything but still can't fix it.

[@teokovacev4500]

I strongly advise against buying this printer. Before purchasing, I watched several reviews where everyone seemed to praise it, but my experience was entirely different. From the moment it arrived, the frustrations began. The auto bed leveling doesn’t work, and there’s no option to disable it. Prints come out as if the X-axis isn’t straight, making everything look tilted. A few days later, I purchased the A1 Mini because I urgently needed a functioning printer, and, honestly, that thing just works flawlessly. It’s been printing non-stop without issues. I’m returning the Elegoo tomorrow and buying another A1 instead.

[@achimbehnke7532]

Hi. Can it also print small things? E.g. fonts on a scale of 1:87. Example: The word "Bahnhof" 15mm wide, 5mm high, 1mm deep. If that's possible, I'll buy it immediately

[@kane587mad]

You can change the nozzle of "every" printer. For such little things I would try 0.2mm nozzle. I think it will do it very good. 0.4mm might work too. Details in prints are just depending on the settings. Even the kp3s for 130€ will do this just fine.

[@adamkwiatek318]

For such a scale I would recommend a resin printer, e.g., Elegoo Saturn.

[@BlackOilyMenKissing]

that's already on the level of resin printers. FDM's aren't designed for extremely small print with some VERY PRICEY EXCEPTIONS. I suggest you get an FDM and a resin printer

[@TinSVM]

So the only difference between the PRO and the normal is that the PRO comes with u-shaped metal guide rails for X and Y axis?

[@rijlqanturis625]

I mean the main difference, and the main selling point, is that the Pro comes with Klipper firmware for faster printing...
