This has become one of my favorite reviewers, a real skillful reviewer and not just one of those influencers. I wish she will review the Neptune 4 Plus and Creality 3 V3 KE also.

Best 3d printer reviews on KZfaq. The channel I always use to get the best information on this topic.

There is an adaptive speed setting which slows movement down as the print gets taller, this can be activated on the neptune screen settings. It prevents the ringing and imperfections.

Been looking at reviews on this printer for days this is the only review on KZfaq with a proper in depth look at the hardware.

For those that don't realise, you can easily push 0.8mm or even 1mm lines in vase mode with a 0.4mm nozzle. I have been doing it with near 100% success for years.

How is this channel not coming up ahead of all the brand boys? This is insanely thorough and very well thought out!

As always an excellent review. I have come to the decision over time that your reviews and opinions matter most to me when deciding whether to upgrade to another printer. Thanks Aurora Tech and please continue to keep us so well informed.

Excellent and very comprehensive review and not to mention the very direct and honest comments to the pros and cons of the model. My very first channel for 3d printers review. Thank you.

I usually speed up videos on KZfaq, but your voice is so calming. Thank you 😊

One of the best reviews I have seen just for the details and settings you used on the printer

Thanks Aurora for this review. I was waiting for this review. I was confused between V3 SE and NP Max 4. Now things are lot clear. She is my favourite reviewers and all her reviews are very consistent as she prints same model so that any machine can be compared with other.

i bought this printer today. thanks for the rundown. looks like it'll be solid for doing volume. trusting the universe on this business taking off! 🤘

OMG! The bloopers are great. Love that giggle.

this channel has become the best channel voor information and reviews of printers and other tech!!

Keep up the fantastic reviews!

I have been waiting on this review for a while now.

got a good chuckle when i saw the smiley face written on her hand great review, I'm considering this printer

in depth as always. klipper is very exciting for the consumer space

Impressive retraction performance on this printer.

Impartial. very well presented and explained. the best review of this printer that I have seewn in a few weeks of looking into it liked and subscribed

interesting, they must have updated that because it now has a 19min pre-sliced speed benchie, and damn its CLEAN too! The Aux fans really aren't needed unless its really printing at over 300mm speed, and ya, its noisy. Speed comes at the cost of needing better cooling, so noise is the trade off. Quick Edit: DO NOT USE GLUE on the PEI sheet, it is entirely un-needed, if you having issues getting things to stick, its your settings, not the PEI sheet. Also DO CLEAN THE PLATE with IPA (or hot soapy water) as PEI is picky about finger oils. I have no idea as to why Elegoo included a glue stick, because that just isn't needed for the type of plate.

Found your channel through the Next Layer channel. You guys are just across the bay from me.

Great succinct vid. I sent the max 3 back because of no klipper or easy lan access but Elegoo were amazing and miles better than creality with no questions asked. You are amazing...!

Very good video! Info is well presented and clear, very professionally done. I am on the fence about getting a bigger bed slinger, as you say. I am happy with my Elegoo Neptune 3 pro, so I have faith in the brand.

Excellent review as always! I especially appreciated your points on the weak power supply and the lack of input shaping at Max Z height. It would be interesting to test how much of a difference placing the printer on a concrete floor, instead of a desk, would have on quality near the top of the print, as the printer wouldn't slosh around so much. Keep up the great work!

Great video as always 👍😀

Hi, the upcoming big bamboo printer could be interesting. I hope they add a active chamber heating to that one. Anyways i like the bloopers part the best, there we can see the "always so serious face" Aurora smiling :)

I look forward to your reviews. They're always so in-depth and detailed. Thank you for all your hard work 👍👍

Excellent review! I’m just looking the market for a big machine. Ended up with the K2 max instead, but really like elegoo with stock Klipper.

i got a 20min benchy on my usb stick with my neptune 4 max. good review 👍

I want to print a Mailbox, this might actually be perfect! :) Great Video!

This is a top Neptune 4 Max Review. Thank you.

Fantastic video!

As always very cool and detailed review Would love to see klp1 kingroon

Those are good improvements over the 3 Max for just $40 more 😃

How old are these kids? OMG! Super high quality channel and reviews!

Man, that things massive

Made to make extra large project should have extra large nozzles, i agree. and steel on steel would last longer. Great review and suggestions.

3:10 - Instead of the traditional bed leveling with paper shim over each leveling screw, I now run the automated bed leveling routine and look at the offset values over each leveling screw and adjust them all at the same time. It's faster, easier and makes a more level bed. I usually do this 2-3 times to get a very level bed, then save the final automated bed leveling calibration.

Thank you for the review, was waiting for this one! :) It is very unfortunate they decreased the bed temperature that much, this really can't print ABS and those other more difficult filaments on any larger prints even if they advertise it. I need good quality ABS/ASA/Nylon prints, and this just doesn't handle those. Even if the little print shown on the review is "passable", anything larger and higher would just fall apart (I think). The proprietary nozzle is the second reason why I won't be getting this one.

Another great review, thank you! This machine is somewhat on my radar for a future purchase, but I will likely wait as it seems now is not the time to buy printers since manufacturers keep one-upping each other every month or two. Can't wait to see what is on the horizon. I am curious though, why will you not use Cura? Sometimes Prusa/SS is better, but overall Cura is still the best for many reasons (in my opinion).

Hi, I love your content. Best reviews on the web. I'd love to see a review on the Kobra 2 Max for comparison purposes. I'm torn between the two, and I'm sure there are MANY more in the same position...

I pray 🙏 @elegoo watches and implement the suggestions @21:14 before sending out the Gigas. I know they offer nozzel packs with the kickstarter, which is great, but many of the short comings with this printer could be deviating on a printer 200% scale of the Max. ❤

Thank you so much for upoding the config file. gracais

setting different x and y accel's doesn't usually work in klipper, as it doesn't support it on the mainline branch. If you have root access to the host, you can add some custom kinematics to get around this, but you need to use a post script to change them dynamically

Thank You!

First absolutely love the channel and content, based some purchases on your reviews, do you have a review or recommendation on smoke purification. Keep up the great work 🎉

Прекрасные и полные обзоры с аналитикой🔥

Still the best printer reviews on KZfaq! Too bad I did not watch this video before ordering the Neptune 4 Max otherwise I would have not ordered it. The POM wheels and the bed leveling are a deal breaker for me. I will try to send back.

Excellent review as always! Please share your Prusa profile.

The laugh at the end. 😂

Wow, I was highly impressed at the detailed and clear review that you did. VERY professional and highly informative. I bought the Neptune 3 MAX for large scale prototypes for items that are big. I needed at least a length of 16" to print some parts I was planning to do. But I can see from your review that the printing results are less than what I'm used to. I noticed in the background that you also have a Bambu Lab X1C which I'm enthralled with and like that kind of quality. So comparatively speaking the N4MAX doesn't come as cloooooose as I hoped, many of the big parts I need to make need at least SOME accuracy with large parts. Since you are so knowledgeable and very technical I wanted to ask: Since I don't care as much about pricing ($2500 would be pushing it but if something really was perfect I'd go to $3000) is there a large size FDM printer than you know of that can print at least in one axis as long as something 16" long that has better quality? (16" x 8" x 8") would be a good start. Thanks for any feedback. And super-appreciated the technical detail!

Thank you so much for the video! bought this printer because of your review! can you please share your prusca profile when you get a moment.

I'd love to see a video where you explain why you've moved from Cura to Prusa (or why you simply don't use Cura if that is more accurate)

Another great review. Where can I find the model for the tolerance test?

Great review as usual! Do you have the link to that accuracy test you did? Thanks!

I print with Nylon almost exclusively. It's a good idea to turn off ALL cooling fans for printing when using Nylon because it can cause all sorts of issues, including blobbing. So I suggest making sure the fans are off next time.

Where can we grab that honey comb box you made as a torture test? I would love to try it. Great video btw, thank you!😋

Everybody fighting for core xy share. Meanwhile Elegoo taking the cheap market with great bedslingers.

Klipper is everywhere now

good job kid

Weeelllll......."only reason is to print big" :-) Im looking for another printer with large bed, to print many small objects one at a time. Mainly because the printers run in an adjecting room while I work at my office. This channel does the best reviews, :-)

So following @Smokinjoewhite advice and my own printing at 0.8mm extrution lines. I did the trash can at 0.32mm layer hight with a 1.2mm extrution. It is so pretty. Will experiment with the 0.8mm nozzle on my CR-10s printer next.

Thanks so much for the review and tests! Could you use the bamboo lab X1 to replace the Neptune 4 Max hotend? My thermistor broke getting replacement but wanted something available

I would ask if I could adapt the nep3max to the 4.. but the proprietary parts in the hotend make me question its worth doing. Am curious about using its pad if I added an accelerometer to the nep3max but it might be better to go a different route

Aurora you can print a 0.7mm line width with a 0.4mm nozzle in vase mode. Also I bet that the retraction is "good" if you set it a 2.0mm mm with a fast speed direct drive ;) , try something like 0.3-0.7mm maybe as 2.0mm kills both speed and surface quality.

Excellent review as always, I already bought the Kobra 2 Pro because of your video , it is a fast, economical and easy to use option. I think the Kobra 2 Max is also a better option in the aspects I mentioned, has lower nozzle temperature capacity but i don't need to print high temperature materials . It would be interesting if you made a video comparing these two machines since they are the most similar in price and size

Thanks Aurora incl the downloadable profil in INI.....any chance you can make available same in JSON? thank you

I don’t know if it’s the same on the Max, but on my 4 Pro I’ve been just not using the auxiliary fans for the last couple months and I haven’t noticed any difference in quality. Maybe they’re necessary at 500mm/s, but really the printer can’t go that fast so I don’t think they’re really needed if you want your printer going quietly.

If I add this profile to PrusaSlicer for the Neptune 4 Plus is it just the plate build size that needs to be altered in the settings

I am still having problems with leveling and the first layer is getting snagged buy the fan behind it.

Hello Aurora, congratulations on your programs, I recently acquired this N4max printer and I have successfully used your profiles for the Prusa Slicer 0.4 nozzle, what parameter of your profiles would you recommend that I adjust for a 0.8 nozzle?

I like Elegoo interface and support. I didn't like Kobra Max. Is new Klipper Kobra Max better because of metal wheels? I don't like bed leveling screws/springs in Elegoo - bed level is off too quick.

Will you review the anycubic kobra 2 max?

Also, I heard that Elegoo has a very old compilation of Klipper on their N4 series - can you just update the machine via Fluidd and not have a brick?

Is it possible to upgrade the bed heater in the future?

Why dont you use cura anymore? Just curious

Hi, Does it come with acceloremeter? Thanks

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.

They should use the same steel guides used on Neptune 4 Pro, for X and Y axis. These rubber wheels will develop bumps that are spaced around 70mm.

How would you comapre this or pro version to k1? Stuck between 2 printers. Can't get a1 at reasonable rate where i live.

Hey Aurora tech love your vids. Keep up the good work. I would like to know why you set the machine to 8K and 4K?

Did you update the firmware or was it done prior to you receiving it? I am on multiple chat rooms for the N4M it seems everyone is forced to do a firmware up out of the box or they have a lot of printing issues.

hi do you have prusa profiles of printing LW PLA?

Hi! Does the Neptune 4 Max have the same print quality as the Neptune 4 Plus?

hi how is the model picture on the control panel 200x200/png

Do you have a good prusa profile for the Neptune 4 Plus?

My question; is this machine “upgradeable”? What I mean is are the cheap axis wheels the same size as the steel wheels? If they are you could purchase them later and upgrade. Is the power supply swappable? Meaning if you ordered a power supply for the mk.3 could you swap it in and get the higher bed temperatures? And I suppose if someone had a lathe or a mill they could make larger nozzles and the software would support them? If so, I’ve found my Christmass present.

The missing bigger nosel size and also that the nosel on the Neptune 4/4pro and the Neptune 4plus/max are incompatible are a deal breaker! Any Idea for a volcano hotblock seller?

On the pro using Klipper i get Unknown command Errors for M201 M203 and M205. Any way to fix this or do i have to set up macros in Klipper ?

I am a bit late, but how would you compare it to a Sovol SV07 pro/plus? I trying to decide between a neptune4 Plus and SV07 Plus, and both are very similar

Wait, you're comparing the time to the non-input shaping Prusa Mk4? They've had input shaping out for months! You should really update that number for the MK4

Which option is better ender v3 se for 242 CAD or bambulab a1 mini for 389 CAD

stl file from the tollerance test please?

Are you just kinda going off experience when you change your settings? I’m planning on getting one of these printers in the near future, but I’m not the most tech savvy guy out there and the settings worry me a bit.

So without the fans you said it was around 50, if you compare that to say a creality with a silent board I wonder what that would be???

vous me conseiller acheter ender 3 s1 ou neptune 4 ?

I was out the second i saw you pull out the piece of paper... We dont live in the dark ages anymore and i refuse to go back

Great review as always. I'm not sure what the point of the 'Max' is, sure it's a great 'value' but value for what exactly, it's too slow to take advantage of it's size, any print large enough to make the Max necessary is literally going to to take a WEEK at 200ms, and if it fails.... This is literally a product without a use case.

What do you recommend between this and AnyCubic Kobra 2, and why?
