Great post u/WriterEducational304 , Their support has been excellent for me as well in the past with my most recent one being a motherboard replacement (no charge) after my 3 year old, out of warranty, Neptune 4 Max had the print bed stop moving after roughly 3000 hours of printing. It's great to se

It's actually pretty simple. Neptune 4 Max is not supposed to print out of the box. It requires setup and calibration by the user. A1 setup is done at the factory (although it's not individually calibrated).

Let me say this unless it's a prusa or slow hours h2d h2c resell prices on printers are not great. Even on a printer just 3 months old.

Sure but show me some more 400x400 plus build volume printers for $360....The cheap neptune 4 max has its uses. This is coming from someone just as frustrated with its drawbacks.

When I got mine a few years ago I followed the instructions and my 1st print (Benchy) completed only the skirt and then failed. I then started reading the forums etc. and for years now my prints are flawless. what I did: Update the Firmware to latest Change to Orca Slicer Understand the Bed Leveling

Yea i definitely dont regret it..I went from spending days fighting my Neptune 4 max to just clicking a button and printing.. being so dialed in really makes you more comfortable changing settings and things to see what happens

I've seen it before where different PETG brands will operate slightly different. I use Elegoo's Rapid PETG and it prints like PLA, in that it's been very easy to work with without any real issues. I have a very large print going on with this filament that is going to take about a 1.5days to finish o
