Neptune 4 Max

In my opinion, you don't need to use glue to print with PETG as a heated bed is more than enough adhesion for my N4Max in the basement. My normal routine is clean the print bed with Isopropyl Alcohol and make sure the bed is level and the Z-offset is setup properly then send it. I set my print bed t

Hey u/NeiaLancia , Congrats on your new 3d printer! Longtime Elegoo Neptune 4 Max owner here, that was the first printer I owned and started on and absolutely love it. I have over 1500 hours printing on it now and she still works like new. Just a few pieces of advice 3d Printing is a continuous lear

Hey u/GeneralPack4401 , check out the Elegoo Neptune product line. The Neptune 4 Plus and Neptune 4 Max will have more build volume than any of the Bambu products and like yourself, I started back in the day with early Makerbots. The Elegoo products are very budget friendly however they will require

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

Hey there u/Apprehensive_Ad_8982 , It's a good start! I own a couple Neptune 4's and I actually don't use the full pro bed mesh tool mostly because of how long it takes. I added the configuration on my printer to run the SCREWS_TILT_CALCULATE macro which focuses on the corners and middle edges of your b

I'm going to recommend toning down your print speed. If you're using Rapid PLA, the most I would do is 150mm/s if you're looking for quality and even then, 100mm/s would be better. I also don't recommend the adaptive layers because it can cause issues with print line quality as some are larger and s

Hey there u/Goodz-stuff , I have an OG Neptune 4 Max from about 3 years ago that I print on weekly. I see a few of the layers peeling and some stringing in your print - how new is your filament and have you already attempted drying it first before printing? Sometimes filament will absorb moisture wh

This! Not sure why so many people do prints with straight lines across large curved surfaces. There will always be plastic shrinkage, and I know my printer shakes itself out of level every print (Neptune 4 max). Plan for it to not line up and hide the seams.
