The real jerk is people still pretending Experimental Sugar Canes are somehow any more special and reliable, despite their sub being 90% troubleshooting. It's not either or, literally just buy a Qidi or the Elegoo CC to get the same thing for half the money, you don't have to tinker with jack shit.

At this time, they haven't announced a version or variety without the Canvas system. I will say, when I use my CC2, the Canvas is really nice if you have left over spools of the same filament lying around. I have 3 printers and when I have something like a 1/3 left of a filament roll, I add them ont

A lot of people recommend the ender and I've only had unending issues with it. This is coming from someone who is not new to printers. I think Creality has loosened quality control on the budget line and there's better beginner options with more up to date quality of life features if you are willing

Dein Druckbett ist wahrscheinlich uneben. Das hatte ich bei meinem Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus auch. Hier ist, was ich dir empfehlen würde: Tausche die Federn an den Schrauben zur Druckbett-Nivellierung gegen Gummipuffer aus. Verbinde den Drucker per LAN mit dem PC, damit du auf die Klipper-Oberfläche zug

Hey there u/Trenchcoat_Dave , Longtime Elegoo owner and veteran prop maker here, Congratulations on acquiring your new printer, although also sorry to hear about your printer related issues. I have one of the OG Neptune 4 Plus's and she's my most run printer at 3500 hours - they're solid workhorses.

EVA foam is miles easier to work with vs 3D printed. However you have to handmade every part with foam, unlike a printer. I use a 3D printer for my mandalorian WIP both armour and props, every piece of armor has been downloaded, sized and printed in my bedroom (Elegoo Neptune 4 plus). The advantages

I have an elegoo neptune 4 plus. It's a larger size and pretty cheap. Not plug and play like a bambu would be. There is some assembly and calibrating before you're ready to go. It can be a bit frustrating. With that said, mine has over 2500 hours on it. I've printed 2 life size droids and am current

Hey Elecktro_PR, I own 3 Elegoo products, the Neptune 4 Max (my oldest printer), Neptune 4 Plus, and the CC2 which I've used for about a week and a half now. Don't get me wrong, I love my Neptune's but the CC2 is "THE" total package I've always wanted when I started 3 years ago. Usage Summary: Like

Despite what others may say, the Elegoo brand was made as a functional and affordable brand to get you a product that isn't overly expensive but it also isn't made to be a "Premium" printer. Parts wear out, maintenance is required, and the manufacturer stands by their products in many times even pas

Bambulab P1s matches most of the specs for less than half the price, and exceeds that in speed and quality. Elegoo released their own version, the Centauri Carbon, which does much of the same stuff for even cheaper. Prusa XL matches the bed size and does color changing, and no bed slinger, creality
