The Elegoo Neptune 2 is cheap, but is it worth it?!

[@DiskCart]

THANK YOU FOR THE SHOUT OUT! 3d printing imo is the cheapest and fastest way to revolutionize a game collection. I am looking forward to tackling this. I absolutely would not have grabbed a 3d printer had it not been for this channel so in a way my game collection is displayed better due to this!! Now I'm off to find more game room ideas!

[@davidcarter9322]

It's an awesome printer. My prints are great with minimal fuss leveling the build plate. I use along side my Ender 3. I recently put a new 32bit silent board in my Ender 3. So now all I hear are the fans.

[@greyfox78569]

It's quiet enough for me to have in my bedroom and have no problem sleeping.

[@TopSpot123]

Holy crap! A 3D printer that's cheaper than many paper printers! That's amazing.

[@RockerGaming]

haha, never thought of it like that, but honestly, you are right... the laser printer I bought a few years ago was much more than this!!!

[@DanofWar101]

It's so astonishing to see at which pace the technology is getting faster and cheaper! These 3D printer will become even more popular as the price goes down! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@Sayajiin2]

Thanks for that review! Really helpful! I'm glad price for good 3d printer started to be more affordable :D

[@RockerGaming]

I agree. Hint hint, if you dont have one, my kids love when I print them toys too... Just saying, lol.

[@Sayajiin2]

@@RockerGaming soooo true!! That's a good idea!

[@karlmee1234]

I know this video is almost a year old now, but try a plugin for cura called ArcWelder, it helps by changing some gcode movements to make the print head move less than it has to. It also compresses the output file to be smaller. I also use it on an octoprint setup I have

[@thegreatjonzini]

love that GameCube stand! Super sweet.

[@RockerGaming]

It really is, NGL, I need to make more of them, lol

[@Crystal_Dragon_]

Can't wait to get one when they're back in stock! I've been wanting to get a 3d printer for a while now and this price sounds hard to beat.

[@RockerGaming]

I have been really enjoying 3D printing and having a printer on hand has bailed me out many times as I can use it for everything from making things for the gameroom, to toys for my kids, to prototyping PCBs. You will enjoy having it around!

[@StarlinkNova]

Interesting! I'll be keeping an eye on this. I've been looking into getting a 3D printer for awhile but have yet to pull the trigger. This has me tempted though. Great video dude!

[@RockerGaming]

Cheers buddy, you should pick one up, while not applicable to my channel.... You would be shocked at the number of toys I am 3D printing for the kids, its kinda hilarious!

[@StarlinkNova]

@@RockerGaming Haha, I'll definitely consider it.

[@yoannnikolakopoulos632]

Love the new intro

[@RockerGaming]

I appreciate that dude!!

[@dccelly1615]

I need to get my mitts on one of these for sure. Thanks for the review. Rock on.

[@RockerGaming]

Cheers dude, these are fun and its crazy all the uses you can find for a 3D printer!!

[@thejeffchen]

"DrunkCube" - I like the name! ;) Thank you for including my design! Hope it makes people love their GameCubes more!

[@RockerGaming]

haha, Its like the cube has been drinking or I have been drinking, because it looks like its up on end! In all seriousness, thank you for making and sharing this, its a great a creative display!

[@DobbsyLondon]

Mario kart stuck in my head now...

[@puchomagic1872]

Gamecube and pro controller displays the look amazing nice work on the video

[@RockerGaming]

Thank you, next time I send you a care package, remind me and I will get some of them printed for you!

[@samfelic1920]

Great Vid... What Slicer you use and care to share your setting... mine stock it all over the place... Thanks

[@jcougar831]

Sold out

[@RockerGaming]

bummer, I think they said more will be available soon!

[@ganiman]

Get the silent board for your Ender 3 Pro, its really nice

[@RockerGaming]

100% that and a bltouch are on my short list of upgrades, I really like the upgraded build plate I nabbed for it. I appreciate the recommendation on that!

[@Sundaybrawl]

Seems like a fairly solid system, would you recommend something like this as an entry point into 3D Printing? Been looking to get into it for a while and am actually capable to do so now.

[@Naamis1]

As I recall, there seems to be a header on the MB for a BLtouch? Would that be an option? Only issue with this printer is, that it's not really available anywhere in Europe.

[@samuraivader3814]

You're alive!

[@RockerGaming]

haha, I am alive!! Its been a pretty crazy 2 months, but I am back!!

[@MichaelMartinez-pn6ur]

Can you make a sonic themed gamecube controller

[@RockerGaming]

I have a sonic themed controller in mind, not sure itll be a GC controller, but I really want to do one!!

[@TOMAHACK20]

It seems the link to diskcart's channel is broken

[@RockerGaming]

That is strange, it seems to be working for me. Here is the link kzbin.info/door/0rpPbtxnkegWkageb4eJFA if that doesnt work still, this one also works kzbin.info

[@lolzman2539]

I want 1!!!

[@Kushan_Patel]

Does it work with gcode files I already have or do I have to use the Elegoo software to make gcode files?

[@kingkirb647]

Ayy face reveal at 5:43

[@fenriswolfretro6729]

Can you print an Open MVS, with this printer? 🤔

[@RockerGaming]

Not sure the dimensions on that but that project looks incredible!!

[@3sotErik]

Would you say that this is competing with the Ender 3 Pro or the Ender 3 V2? Or something in-between?

[@RockerGaming]

I would say both but in different ways. The pro 3 was mainly used as a comparison in this video as that was my daily driver. The v2 has some of the features as this printer so I think that is a closer comparison. To me this printer feels like the OG ender 3 got mashed with the Ender 3 v2 and this was born out of it... Now mind you the Neptune 2 has features neither the Ender 3 nor V2 have (such as a filament run out sensor), but that is how I was thinking about while doing the review and doing research on the printer. Let there be no doubt the customer who is interested in the ender line of printers was the target for this printer.

[@3sotErik]

@@RockerGaming 2 weeks ago I had the E3 v2 in a cart & was going to order the next day. Then I woke up to an unboxing vid for this & have watched EVERY video I can find on this. I can't afford much, so my options are the E3v2 & some filament Or The Neptune 2 w/ a BL-Touch, maybe a glass bed, & a few different filament spools. It will be my 1st so I want to make the right choice.

[@marvindesanta]

Can someone tell me where I can find a GameCube MC holder I want to buy one.

[@RockerGaming]

haha, find a buddy with a 3d printer and have them print it for you, I have a link to the 3d file in the description!

[@marvindesanta]

Or you just print it out I send you PayPal Cash and you shipped it to Germany

[@jeremytine]

Quality control of Neptune 2 is horrible. I got 2 units both doa with multiple serious problems that should have been obvious to any QA tech not literally blind...

[@RockerGaming]

Ouch, I am really sorry to hear that... Hopefully they get that cleaned up, its a good machine once you get it up and running nicely!

[@jeremytine]

@@RockerGaming at least when the first shorted out, it didn't catch my house on 🔥. Did let out some magic smoke though.

[@garnerfishy]

hello (:

[@RockerGaming]

Yo dude, whats happening?!

[@garnerfishy]

@@RockerGaming ah nothin, just ordered a new set of GC buttons on ebay and planning to make a wii portable😁

[@RockerGaming]

Now that is something I want to see!! Best of luck with that build, make sure you share!

[@mana1706]

early gang

[@RockerGaming]

Heck yeah early gang!!

[@sheikh_goku]

€168 is a lot

[@PhiKehr]

Not for a 3D printer, or do you know cheaper models?

[@TheSlackassCrew]

@@PhiKehr exactly. Where is the cheaper better version at

[@RockerGaming]

I will say euro and GBP gets hit with some wicked exchange goofiness, but for real, this thing is pretty cheap in my book especially for the features out the box.

[@samuraivader3814]

As someone that in debt, yes it is

[@sheikh_goku]

@@RockerGaming sure sure, you have a valid opinion on it
