This is hands down the most solid video on this printer and program. At first I was like Wtf, but this hobby is kind of hard to get into. I’ve watched just about every video you can find on the software and printer and no one was more detailed than this. Props bruv

[@novascotiahobo1958]

Im a senior and your explanation was top notch. I will be referring back to it when my machine arrives! Hey I’m excited! Ya i need to get out more !

[@buzludzhamonument3d]

Ordered yesterday 13.09.2024. for €239,99 EUR. This gonna be the first printer in my life! Great video Vlad! Hope i can make my 3D print of the monument without many issues. Wish me luck!

[@hallowedhydra]

I ordered a N3+ yesterday!! So excited for it. Have you gotten yours yet?

[@buzludzhamonument3d]

@@hallowedhydra Arrived for 7 days! I use it every day till the night hours. I just can’t stop :)

[@Fractalqv]

@@buzludzhamonument3d how is it? I'm currently trying to decide whether to buy the N3+ or the ender 3 KE

[@buzludzhamonument3d]

@ it’s fine but i have won Creality K1C which is way way faster. But i will keep the Elegoo too.

[@Fractalqv]

@@buzludzhamonument3d wow congrats good for you, just a couple of months after your first one as well! Yeah well I think I’ll go with the N3+ just because of the bigger printing size tbh. I feel like that might just be more important than speed or whatever other features the ender 3 ke has

[@kriswingert1662]

@ 12:10: the wire should be parallel to the arm for the spool to prevent cable kink. This will also center the spool and weight of the upper gantry.

[@flightofapaullo72]

Just got my N3Pro yesterday and for a beginner, it's an awesome printer. Looking forward to this Plus. Great video!

[@marcoc.1646]

Great video. I'm new to fdm printing and I just got the Plus. I've almost finished the test filament that comes with the printer, and I wanted to know how to unload the filament and put in a new one. On some videos I've seen, on different printers, they do it manually, extruding some filament and then pulling it out quickly. Do I have to do it with the Plus too or can I use the function you show at 34:10? Thank you

[@MrTimmmers]

To level anything, only use 3 points, 2 on the back, 1 on the front. Or opposite sides. In a triangle. Level the 2 first, then the one opposite to match the two. Once it's level in a case like this, just snug up the rest to support it level. Any other way will take much longer.

[@elis51501]

I just ordered this plus sized printer last night, can’t wait to set it up and give it a go, great set-up/review video, liked and subbed, thanks

[@rusticagenerica]

How was it?

[@ChrissAlba]

This is a solid detailed review, amazing work and thank you!

[@jvacarpyadventures7045]

Great review and setup.. Answered a load of questions for me as got mine arriving soon. Thanks.

[@FarhadKazombie]

Great review! I'm expecting mine on Monday. Thanks for the insights.

[@damionbooth5317]

Thank you so much for this video! This is by far the best video I've seen for new users.

[@elis51501]

The draw back of not having a storage bin is a reason to print a cool storage bin:)

[@goatelope7539]

Super helpful thank you! Just got mine today, cant wait to get it up and running

[@thecreator8780]

21:02 I have a free wheeling tram wheel on both sides of the x gantry, on the left side its the top wheel and on the right side its the bottom wheel. Should I be concerned as no amount of spinning the left and right eccentric nuts changes anything?

[@efreeteater2270]

The best setup video! I had a lot of trouble with Elegoo's own, but this was sp helpful

[@colbycowley7549]

They just got this back in stock so I decided to order this one over an ender, anycubic, and prusa. Prusa just seems outdated even if it does work well. Can’t wait to use it!!

[@elsombrero2731]

can the Neptune 3 Pro use almost all the filaments (PLA for example) or are there many limitations regarding materials, due to the fact that it cannot print with a very high temperature?

[@paizonryker7101]

One of the best setup videos. Thank you.

[@LoganSumrell]

Sadly you can't order these. I would love to get a plus.

[@colbyc8181]

US is in stock now

[@KelliAmandaHoward]

matter hackers has them available for preorder on incoming stock if you’ve not ordered from them before you can sign up for their newsletter and get 5% off, which does work on the printer

[@Scarecr0w33]

[@nightfuryla2815]

Great video! Thank you. Could you please link the files for the models that you printed in this video?

[@standbymode7599]

My offset is -2.56 is that right? The back left adjuster hasnt got the same springs for some reason

[@YakovK09]

I set up mine and this video helped me a lot thanks! I was wondering, I’m sensing a squeaking on the bed (while it moving back and forward) how can I fix it?

[@mikaelflink1145]

how do i loosen the 2 bolts on the left side? my weels is to tight :/

[@docroberts1988]

I had to return my 3pro today . It kept having issues and over the weekend the screen locked up again and this time I couldn't get it to unlock no mater what I did . Unfortunately they didnt have anymore for an exchange so I had to accept a refund instead . When it printed the prints were nice in my opinion , but I dont know enough to get the machine to respond and get the touch pad working again . I like the look of this printer and when I try again I think I my upgrade to this machine .

[@MiljanBojovic]

Did you seriously tell us to watch the ELEGOO assembly video after you've shown how to do it in a precise way? :D That red rocket is soooooo cool and smooth I love it!

[@jmt4052]

Anyone knows if you can swap the power cable for a longer one, and if so, what details should I check before I burn down my house.... If this is not possible any special extension cords which are save enough to cover some distance? Usually I would avoid using extension cords for such devices but I can't seem to find clues on the internet....

[@Bobisfunny3887]

How tall is this printer with the spool holder

[@AlfieMaxMiMi]

It seems the 'Pro' prints a touch better than the 'Plus'. I assume it’s because the bed is springy on the 'Plus'?

[@HowDareYouu]

it doesn't show you on the LCD how much time untill the print it's done?

[@alvaromedina6049]

How did you installed on mac? I have a m1 macbook but when I open it says disco image is damaged so I can't install it. Please help me

[@saldimarca3922]

Great detailed video. Does this printer have an all metal hotend?

[@SamK0715]

How would you compare this printer with something like the Creality Ender 3 S1?

[@timlongo7039]

Mine appears to rub the bed as it prepare to start printing. Don’t want it scratching it Suggestions?

[@jeanfleming9687]

Mine didn't come with support bars

[@Cooperdude1011]

Hi! i just ordered my neptune 3 plus. Super exited to get it. But i was wondering which settings do you recommend for it? for example, im interested in printing armor and star wars helmets. And im a beginner, and im worried my prints wont be good. Please help!

[@zeraigon9833]

May i know if this better than ANYCUBIC KOBRA MAX????

[@DinaLorr]

Amazing review, I just pre ordered mine, never 3d printed before, I can’t wait 🙌🏾

[@YourLocalRaccoon]

Okay but when will it and the Max be back in stock.

[@duclinh84bk]

The biggest disadvantage of this type of design is combining the bed with the Y-axis. The bed including the print object is really heavy. This makes the Y axis always bed! With this size and price, the CoreXY is much better!

[@bartdelege929]

Great videos, i always watch twice before buying one, but i have a question. So for thé first file it gives you thé preview image, but when printing any other file it doesn't give any image, i tried thé JPEG script in Cura but doesn't work, Anyone having thé same problem and know how to fix it?

[@mitchelbenjaminsr1587]

Nice video How do I unload the filament when I’m done printing and wanna put my roll back in the Eibos filament heater..? Thank you

[@JustVlads]

If the filament is stuck, preheat the nozzle and it will come out easily

[@mitchelbenjaminsr1587]

@@JustVladsthank you… it’s not stuck.. can I just leave it in and turn my machine off..?

[@JustVlads]

@@mitchelbenjaminsr1587 Yes, you can leave it in the print head and turn the machine off but for longer storage its a good idea to put the roll in a sealed bag to protect it from moisture.

[@Raiyo_Kirigaya]

Whats your setup for the rocket?

[@colbyc8181]

Why don’t they have the extruder motor flipped and closer to the rail? I’d bet it would be better for weight distribution no?

[@colbyc8181]

Or make an in line version of direct drive so there is less outward weight and it’s more stacked on top of the nozzle

[@dark_matter8420]

How is this compared to the Ender 3 MAX?

[@rgordon1351]

This is a lot better.

[@suryudan]

Can't wait until I can order one!

[@yathani]

Awesome video intro 🤩

[@andyb7029]

Great review.

[@jayfray38]

I put in everything just as you did and these prints are coming off awful like it’s running to fast or something, I tried running the Budda 3 times now

[@estefanodarold5657]

Hello! If you used both, which one do you prefer? Ender S1 Plus vs Neptune 3 Plus. Thanks for the answer.

[@christerranova3059]

I followed your video to the t, and when I try to level it, the nozzle is too far away from the build plate. I turned the wheels all the way where they were loose, and it still won't get close to the nozzle. Any suggestions

[@freebobux4750]

same thing with me, did you figure it out?

[@jackzatz8589]

Thanks for another great review. Just ordered it - unfortunately could not do so thru the link (Lunar New Year related issue). But thanks again and again Vlad.

[@colbycowley7549]

I reached out to their support and they said it won’t be available until mid-end of February. :( I’ll definitely be waiting for it.

[@Erc294]

I bought mine January 6. And got it yesterday.

[@LooneyToonz408]

I just bought one on Amazon 2 days ago and got it today.

[@jeff5037]

I ordered one but I’m considering cancelling and ordering a P1P

[@yvairguy]

Oh yes, the unobtainable Neptune 3-D plus. Since you can’t actually buy one of these what would you buy instead?

[@elis51501]

When you compress the bed springs to half way, do you put an actual level on the bed to verify it’s level in all directions prior to the auto bed leveling?

[@meme5887]

Late post lol. But I'd assume no because you're not looking for level to floor, but level to nozzle.

[@killerrush77]

i did NOT get a clipper and spatula

[@sabast2150]

I am currently setting up my Neptune 3 plus and when I first turned it on after assembling it I pressed home and the nozzle went into the bed and left an indent, I tried leveling it but anytime I press home it will again sink into the build plate and burn a hole, has anyone had this problem?

[@AMForouzani]

I can't install Elegoo Cura or add the printers to normal Cura

[@sabotage3d]

Is it possible to reduce the ringing and ghosting artefacts?

[@JustVlads]

Yes, do many of the same prints with different speeds and see which looks the best. Also try belt tightness same way.

[@ryomabrunel8710]

awesome review! just got my plus in yesterday, was wondering if you switched the voltage from 230v to 115v as suggested on the screen protector? i could not for the life of me find that switch and was wondering if you have done it on yours...

[@JustVlads]

The printer voltage is preset to your delivery address. If you need to switch it, the bottom cover will need to be removed and the power supply can be switched.

[@ryomabrunel8710]

@@JustVlads ah great, thanks! I'll check it out and confirm.

[@chrisshaw451]

Think I may remove the bottom plate just to make sure that it is set correct when I receive my machine.

[@evilgremlin]

Please tell what actual MCU are on boards, it's single most important thing now. Almost everyone use close-but-not-clones of STM32 which are unsupported in vanilla Marlin. I can see this one is actual ST but not in every video it's visible.

[@mikejh6551]

Would like to see a speed test of this printer 😐😁

[@CuttinInIdaho]

Not being a jerk, but ABS needs 100c bed temps...over serveral printers, 100c always produces less warping if not enclosed

[@PixelForgeLab]

Elegoo or Creality ?

[@AMForouzani]

Would you please compare the noise of neptune 3 pro and plus while printing and standby Using apple watch or a device which we can see it in decibel

[@YourLocalRaccoon]

Why an apple watch? There are literally devices built solely to tell you the decibel level of sounds. And they cost literally a fraction of the price of an apple watch. Not to mention an apple watch wouldn't give you even a close representation of actual decibel levels as its microphone is relatively low quality.

[@AMForouzani]

@@YourLocalRaccoon yea but if you already have an apple watch it doe’s the job quicker than going an d buy a device also im happy with the apple watch results as few decibels difference won’t make any change in my experience with the device

[@AMForouzani]

@@YourLocalRaccoon what i want to know is the difference of the two printers, i dont care if they are 50-55 db or 60-65 i just wanna know the difference

[@YourLocalRaccoon]

@@AMForouzani decibels are non-linear, 60 is significantly quieter than 65, so yes "a few decibels difference" is a massive difference

[@charlesnunya2347]

You didn't measure the printer's footprint; you measured the depth of your desk. I would have liked to see from the printers back foot to the front foot, also side to side to see how much room it will take up on my desk. I don't need to know your desk is 24 inches wide.
