As someone who is running older printers with a sonicpad to get klipper functionality. I am interested in seeing how these bed slingers compare to the core xy options that are out now. Hoping for a deeper dive into that. Awesome to see some promise already.

[@SullivanOwen]

Since Elegoo announced the Giga with larger nozzles, I'm optimistic that they will be available at least by next Spring when that's supposed to be available. I have a 4Pro and was considering adding this, I'm using the Neptune for rough drafts before doing slow AF final prints in my BCN W50 and have had a ton of issues with supports, stringing and under extrusion so I think I'll be waiting for now to see the status of larger nozzles and sorting out slicer issues. I dislike Cura and will have to look into Orca, unfortunately the BCN also uses a skinned Cura and it's been hard to find an alternative that lets me do enough tweaking to supports to ensure successful prints and can support the IDEX on the BCN. Thanks for these reviews, it's super helpful to sort through all the options!

[@dmacid420]

[@shoumikahmed6373]

I think cura is not ready for high speed printer.For example, speed is not adjustable for the first layer after support. You need to slow down whole top and bottom layers. If elegoo provide software support neptune 4 pro will become one of the best printers.

[@Liberty4Ever]

My Neptune 4 Pro has been running almost nonstop since I got it probably six weeks ago. It's great. The only issue was the LED on the print head dimmed to almost nonexistent after 100 hours of ABS prints directly over a 110 C print bed. I'm waiting for Elegoo to make a Neptune 4 Pro Max with steel rollers on steel rails. I think that will be a significant improvement for print quality and reliability on a fast large format printer that is accelerating a relatively heavy print bed. Elegoo should have used a Volcano compatible nozzle for all of the Neptune 4 series. They all print the same materials at the same speed. Making proprietary high flow nozzles when there is already a standard is not customer oriented. It's not as bad as some of the proprietary stunts Qidi has pulled that convinced me not to buy any more of their printers (I bought seven), but it's still needless market complexity and hassle that we don't need.

[@nanneborn4523]

Hello, I also want to buy a neptune 4 but there are a lot negatieve reviews. What slicer to you use?

[@Liberty4Ever]

@@nanneborn4523 - I use PrusaSlicer. I loved being able to send G code directly to the Neptune 4 Pro via the Fluidd web browser tab rather than previous printers where I had to load the G code onto a micro SD card that was then plugged into the printer in the most awkward position imaginable. Then I started sending the G code to the Neptune 4 Pro directly from PrusaSlicer. It's as easy as 2D printing a document from LibreOffice. Why did it take so long before Klipper made this happen? I'm now a huge Klipper fan.

Odd elegoo told me its not for sale and i dont see it on the website, how did you get it?

[@randomguynumber88]

I also have this printer. Been having the same issue with the Z offset, and a myriad of other issues. The Z offset issue actually scratched up my print surface real bad, and I had to buy a replacement. This machine with that issue and the complete lack of profiles or info to make your own is truly not ready for release. The amount of hours and filament I have wasted to tune it, only to realize that no matter how well I tune it, I still have to be there to manually adjust the bed and Z offset at the start of every print, and if I’m not fast enough then I have to cancel the print and start over. I’m really disappointed. The hardware seems good, but this shouldn’t have been released, it’s half baked at best and a huge headache. I want it to get fixed, I want it to get good, but I’d suggest to others that it’s not ready yet so maybe hold out on buying until you hear these teething issues are fixed.

For anyone wondering: maximum quality print / resolution / layer height for the Neptune 4 max in the Elegoo Cura software is 0.12mm. Profiles are 0.12 High quality, 0.16 Normal Quality, 0.20 has 3 profiles: Fine Quality, Fine strength and Fine fast, 0.24 Medium Quality and finally 0.28 Draft Quality.

[@meadmaker4525]

That Magneto Samurai mask was INSANE!! I'm sure it'll be beautiful when painted, but it looks incredible in that Galaxy Black! Wow!! Did Elegoo ever get back with you on the 0.6 nozzle issue? It's been 9 months, so I would assume they've got them to market by now, but you never know. Looks like Orca was the way to go with that printer, too. Amazing difference in the Silverhand statue between the 2 slicers. I'm gonna guess the "other" printer you compared it to in the video was an X1 Carbon, given the stats. Pretty comparable results. I thought I wanted a core X/Y for my first printer, but this bed slinger is impressive enough it might have changed my mind. Especially given the price point.

[@jonrrobinson]

Looks great! It would be good to see a comparison of print times, for the same model, with older machines, to get an idea of how much faster these prints can be - if that would be interesting.

[@Geoff_W]

Offset changing like that is usually due to bad v-wheels. Try swapping them out for Triangle Labs v-wheels, they usually provide a much better experience on any v-wheel printer.

[@boulderdash555]

It is actually due to Interpolate setting set to True and stealthchop set to 999999 in 26 firmware. 43 has some stuff addressed, but not fully.

[@Geoff_W]

@@boulderdash555 how would that cause the offset to change in the way he describes? From what he said is happening, it SOUNDS more like the bearings in the wheels have come loose from the POM tires and are creating inconsistent movement...at least from what he said of the issue he's experiencing.

[@reasonablebeing5392]

I have an Anycubic Chiron with a huge bed. My solution was to build a wooden wheeled cart with heavy locking wheels. That way you can roll it out of the way when not in use or wherever you have the space for it when you are printing. That way it does not take up valuable counter space. The shelf underneath can hold tools, filament, etc. Maybe you can collaborate with a woodworking creator like Bob from "I like to make stuff?"

[@proaudiorestore8926]

So just a counter to the “mystery” $1200 printer: 1.) it’s sibling can be bought for much less with pretty much the same performance and 2.) Elegoo’s biggest problem is in their eagerness to release new machines, they tend to forget the printers that have come before them. Firmware updates, upgrades etc? Forget about it. If you want that you’ll need to buy their new machine. Make no mistake, elegoo can make some impressive machines, I was blown away by their Neptune 3. Less blown away by them dumping the product like a hot coal 3 months after release so they could support the Neptune 3 Pro. It’s something they have to really work on in my opinion. That said, I still think bang for buck, considering size, this printer is hard to beat. Just please support them better Elegoo!

Hey Awesome video can't wait to see more. Thought you should know at 15:30 your volume changed and went quieter.

[@lefmicro]

Have this printer myself and love the results but had a couple of issues. First the gantry wasn't square, I actually had to shim it to get it truly square. This was causing me to have inconsistent layer heights as the print got higher. 2nd the bed sensor doesn't give a consistent z on home. I frequently have to change the offset +/- .1mm to get a good first layer. 3rd... they used a very old distro of Debian that will not support updated versions of Klipper and the Fuidd interface they have chosen gives incorrect data like stating the start time of the print is the projected end time. Of course because Debian is so out of date, the arguably best choice for camera support, Crowsnest can't be installed. The included camera support will keep the camera up for an hour or so but will need a system reboot to bring it back once the camera is shut off by the system. I put in a ticket with Elegoo and they were very insistent that nothing of the software be changed and the z sensor is working as intended. With all that being said, it's a good printer, it just needed a little more tech savviness on the software end in my opinion.

I have a Neptune 4 max. Nothing but issues. I am on the current firmware loaded 3 times to try and fix my issues. 1. Input shaper errors out. 2. Printer stops randomly before finishing model, print head just stops where it’s at. The digital display does not show an error it still thinks it’s printing the temp still shows 215 and 70 on the bed. But the bed and print head are cold. 3. Elegoo rapid filament broke of in the extruded and in the tube below the gear melted in the extruder. I am not able to get it out with out breaking the extruder. I have been working with support for over 2 weeks I am currently waiting on extruder replacement. But I believe that that they need to send me a mains board because of my issues. Well it looks like I the part will not show up until next year sometime. Right now I have $500 paper weight. If you are interested in this 3d printer wait 2 - 3 months to see if the issues are fixed.

[@pbhogan]

What you said about having to adjust the z-offset constantly made me instantly perk up. I've been having a similar (maybe the same?) issue on my Neptune 4 Pro and it's driving me absolutely nuts. I'll get one or two good prints out of it and then it seems like I just can't get the first layer to work at all even on the most basic print. Check the bed leveling and everything is fine, but if I adjust the z-offset manually beyond what it should be, it seems to help. Really hope they get out a fix for whatever that issue is. I'm going to try the power-cycling tip for sure and see if it helps.

[@UncleJessy]

I thought I heard there was a new Neptune 4 firmware update that helped resolve that. I haven’t checked to be honest though

[@cluna92377]

I had the same issue and I had to hurry out and let it run without check and absolutely destroyed my tool head when the filament caked on it. It also caused the printer to go in error mode and the motherboard now needs firmware reflashed. Unfortunately there are no parts available for the 4 max yet and as of now no new firmware updates either. Don’t take me wrong it’s been a great printer and I love it. I made the mistake of not watching it for a few layers and adjusting the z-height and that’s on me.

[@imagesh1]

On my Neptune 3 Max (running Klipper) I'm pretty sure this issue is just a thermal expansion situation. If you fire up the printer and start printing the moment the temp is stable the "gap" is different than if you let the printer sit "at temp" for 15min or so and then start printing. In any event, do the bed level at the temperature conditions you will be working at... always printing on first fire up? Do the bed level immediately after you've hit temp. In my case I ALWAYS let the printer idle at full bed temp for 15min before starting to print, and that is the point in time I did the bed level. That way if I abort a print shortly after starting, or immediately launch into another print, I don't have to worry about waiting for thermal expansion on a "cold" printer...

[@pbhogan]

That could be. I have typically done my bed leveling after heating the bed to 60 and nozzle to something like 140 (so it doesn't ooze) but I haven't let it just soak heat at full temp for 15 minutes. I installed the latest firmware (turns out I was not on the latest) and still having some issues, but I actually now suspect there's more going on. I get a lot of gooeyness that strings and globs all over the bed even at lower temperatures and that's destroying adhesion. Once I get the initial layer down it's all fine from there, but that first layer is a doozy. I'm using Overture matte PLA filament fresh out of the box and it's consistently happened with six rolls ordered on different occasions. I get slightly better results at higher temperatures (225 nozzle / 70 bed) but then more stringing. So, I'm not sure if maybe it's the filament or retraction or bed leveling or flow or something else entirely. I'm just not experienced enough to know what I'm looking at when it's going wrong.

[@imagesh1]

My Max is in an enclosure, and I run the bed at 100C printing ABS, so these thermal issues are even more magnified. I chased this issue for days when I first started printing, but having a consistent approach to WHEN I start printing vs WHEN I did the bed level was the key to success. Again, let the whole printer come to temp and stay there for 15min, then do a bed level, then always start your printing run after a 15min warm up and this Z offset issue will go away. I do have another alternate bed level profile in Klipper/Mainsail that was taken just at first bed warm-up to temp, but I only did that after I understood the full issue, and you darn well sure don't want to get the profiles mixed up... :)

[@sinnedyesmar]

Hey Jessy, would like to get your profile for the Max4. I've had mine for over 6 weeks and am struggling to see the point. A machine this large needs an enclosure, and it will never print fast due to the mass of the print bed being slammed violently back and forth. This is causing the y axis motor to skip, layer shifting, etc. Bed-slingers and speed do not mix. I note in your video that your speeds are very medium. Try those in sport mode....

I've had mine for a about 2 weeks now. I'm enjoying it so far but it does have some quirks I hope get sorted through a firmware update. I've experienced the z offset issue you mentioned but it's very random. I've been printing out the large parts of the Robot Devil model from Droid Division over the past few days and the printer has been on the whole time, z offset was consistent til this morning when all of a sudden it needed to be adjusted up by .08. The size of the bed makes it very prone to big movements from temperature change so like you I am glad it has the leveling wheels. The Elegoo Cura is a big turd, I wish they would just come with finely tuned profiles for the more popular slicers. The potential for this machine and what it can enable me to do are tremendous. This printer combined with the Creality K1 I picked up a week before this arrived have transformed me back into a maker instead of a 3D printer. Which is incredibly freeing to have such reliable tools.

15:29 I'd love to hear any updates on fixes for the Z offset issue. Seems pretty annoying.

[@Theguys1212]

How loud is it if you are printing without the turbo fans?

[@robertomontano5700]

Can't wait to see what you will do with the Orange GigaStorm

[@UncleJessy]

Clearing some space for it ;)

[@StumblingBumblingIdiot]

@@UncleJessy Will be awesome to see! Only thing that disappoints me is how slow it is. I was hoping with a HUGE printer they would get the speed even higher especially with corexy. Wonder if they will have adjustment wheels 😑

[@GaryTabarJr]

Did you scale the helmet at all, or just print as is?

[@amiga2091]

I have this and use Orcaslicer but, can't get settings for bigger layer heights. Using a .8mm nozzle and can't get than .28mm. Help?

[@Impuritan1]

I’m still new to Orca, but when you set up your printer profile did you make sure to set it to that nozzle size?

[@thehorseman1806]

Can a computer-savvy beginner use this machine?

[@danastratton61]

I suggest a dryer box for your filament. A dual one is my suggestion. I got mine from Amazon I think.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

I hope someone offers an enclosure for a machine this size. Long prints do much better in an enclosure, not to mention containing the VOCs/Nanoparticles that printing generates.

[@tombo7719]

So did you get an OrangeStorm Giga and testing it? I backed it, know tons have.

[@dack4545]

If you do the got to home command on the tablet , load filament on the prepare screen , squeeze out one run wipe of the nozzle by razing Z to clean snot off then run Print ,The Input Shaping on these is Crazy smart .before i put a 8 kg square outdoor tile on my PC bench we were rocking an rollin with NO tile and print perfect ,i cant really say that the heavy tile helped the A.I Anti wobble seemed to not care about motion sickness LOL and was no difference in print quality wether its bolted down or going of on its own like some sort of crazy machine trying to change the world , one of the smartest things i heard on a 3D Printing channel was use one of those receipts you get say from the $$$ store in America there really thin 0.6- 0.7 mm .these Elegoo printers want a fair amount of squish in the purge line before you start to print isn't like two flat lines overlaying each each length ways Re - Z an bed level other wise bad things are going to happen i Know some of the so Called better printers are closed in ,but in fact cooling the print rather then slow cooling the print in an enclosure isn't really achieving anything but adding to EXTRA cost of your printer , its my belief that the more expensive printers arent really giving you anything extra than say a dust shield and really Custom spot on printer CFG .with that said id rather save my self 600 + odd dollars and spend it on filament and use one roll tinkering with the settings and be 15 rolls or so in front of someone who bought the $1200 printer its embarrassing really i think Elegoo is Like Toyota the went they saw they conquered in small iterations and came up with the best Quality Printer for the Price and still looking at the rich kid saying Bet you Pink slips i can beat you .

[@cuentoscortoz]

Glad to see I'm not the only one having issues with that T-rex haha

[@DatBlueHusky]

im getitng this soon, being its been out for awhile its gotten cheaper and much better firmware and software now for it. I hope this will work well, if not ill just return it. My plans are just printing some helmets and simple boxes so nothing i really care about for quality.

[@rustyv6274]

I preordered this machine and my biggest issue is that I just got it last week and they drop the giga is coming out. I may send this back for the giga

[@dennismcclain1290]

Wish the cr10-smart had the bed leveling wheels… but that’s why I bought the Neptune

[@DanMorris-y7b]

I just got a membership to Flexi Factory But I can't find that T-Rex. Your link doesn't work. How can I get it?

[@Dan_Murphy]

I don’t think it’s acceptable for a company to try selling printers with proprietary nozzles anymore. That alone would steer me away from this printer. The cr-10s pro was the same way, and I ended up replacing the hot end which with that fan on this printer might not be possible…

[@worthstream]

Yep, I was going to buy this until that point in the video. It's a real dealbreaker.

[@UncleJessy]

Yeah, I wasn’t too happy when I found that out as well. Fingers crossed other manufacturers jump on it as well

[@chrishechtl8330]

Very cool and thanks for the video. I've been waiting for weeks to see it. I'm curious, how does it print with other materials? Can it print in the Elegoo PLA + at speed? Or PETG? I'd love to reprint a few R2-D2 parts with it and print other droids...

[@UncleJessy]

Yeah I’m going to be throwing down some other materials on it here in the next week or two. Including some flexible marwrials

[@chrishechtl8330]

Cool! Can't wait to see how it goes. I just finished a life size bust of a Utah Raptor with feathers. (glued on) I wonder how fast the Neptune 4 could have printed it?@@UncleJessy

[@rendez2k]

I'm using your Patron profile for this printer and also getting a lot of stringing so any updates / advice would be appreciated. Excellent video and printer (so far!)

[@rickmellor]

You called out same the issues I’ve had with mine. I’m liking the machine but really want to switch over to Orca. After living with Bambu Studio for the last year Cura just feels like a step backwards.
