I went from an elegoo neptune 3 to the p1s with ams. My gawd, i cant believe the difference. The p1s is so much better, easier, faster, more intuitive than the nep3. The differences between the p1 and the p2 would be wasted/lost on me. I couldnt be happier. I know there are "better, faster, quick ch

I have been VERY satisfied with mine since the day I got it and have nothing bad to say about it. It's not multicolor (yet) but that was never the reason I got it. It's become my "fire and forget" system (and I still have and Ender 3 S1 and an Elegoo Neptune 3 Max.

I have a bambu A1 and an Elegoo Neptune 3 Max. Bambu is as close to plug and play as you can get in my opinion, and it's in your price range. You will still need to do some research on settings. It's a learning process and there will be frustration along the way.

Partial answer - I have the Anycubic Kobra S1 and use the Anycubic slicer - which is based on Orca also. I just downloaded Obscura's image album of settings and then went through mine to manually create my own profiles. I've been super pleased with it. You should be just fine to use the Elegoo Slice

I do For new users, Elegoo Slicer is easier than custom setting up Orca or other slicers from my experience. You don't have to use Elegoo's Slicer but the defaults are great for getting a user in the ballpark to print. Once a user has more experience, they may consider trying some of the other slice

My guess would be the z offset was still too high. I have a Neptune 3 Pro, and they recommended using paper to adjust z offset. I'm guessing the same thing on the CC. Once you get things resolved, I'd recommend doing a live z offset. Setting your z offset while doing a test print. I made instruction

You might want to check out the new posts. This is actually the first one I made. Since then I‘ve made like 3 more about even more mods. Here’s the newest one: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooNeptune3/s/S4zjb8jbZT I actually had quite a good experience with the N3P. I mostly just upgrade it for the f

I have a 3Pro. I ran into an issue in Cura where if I design a cylinder with 3 walls (a screw-top pot, actually) then Cura insists on doing a full 360deg travel move around the model immediately before the next outer layer, regardless of wall printing order setting, causing underextrusion at the Z s

I sliced it myself using ElegooSlicer and all default options. It was my first time turning it on so I wanted a baseline for tuning. My other N3P is running klipper and is doing wonderfully. But I wanna make sure this one is functional before I connect my pi. So it doesn’t fry it and they both becom
