@@gruffmadnessi hope it goes well for u! I have had mine for over a month now and I love it! I suggest staying away from cura for this printer. I used cura and it gave me alot of issues like gaps in my prints and weird seams. Switched to prusaslicer (which still has tree supports as well) and the printer now prints perfectly. Cura doesnt seem to work well with klipper. It did work fine on my marlin printers though.

@crazylegsmurphy 9 ай бұрын

Here is the issue with people who shill for print companies. When Jesse talks about the "non-standard nozzle" he uses really fluffy terminology and kind brushes it off. Whereas in reality, this could be a potentially huge issue. Hoping some third party or Elegoo will create enough to satisfy the market is a terrible strategy. What is worse it that your printer might find itself to be obsolete in a few months. What if Elegoo goes back to a standard nozzle? What if there are supply issues? What if Third party manufacturers simply don't care to make them? You could be a stuck with a printer that can't ever print again unless you find a way to completely replace the hot end. This isn't just something you mention in passing. It is potentially a major issue and as much as I like Jesse's videos, this really comes across as an advertisement rather than informing consumers.

@robsims6352 9 ай бұрын

You think Jessy is a shill for print companies? That's a pretty nasty thing to say. Now I've got that off my chest, the nozzle isn't a big deal really as you could just fit whatever hot end you wanted - a Volcano for example.

@leskeffel1986 8 ай бұрын

I received a pre-order 4-Plus directly from Elegoo this past Saturday (11 September) which has the exact x and Y axis noise issues Jessy talks about. I did the preloaded test print of the Buddha which came out perfect and I also printed a complicated large file of my own that came out absolutely perfect in-spite of the grinding noises. I thought it would be an easy fix based on Jessy's recommendation of using The Feral Engineer's process. His video was watched several times, taking lots of notes and the guidance he offered was followed to-the-letter. Long story short - I now have a two day old printer that still grinds in both axis, when homing the hot end rams into the bed and it has become impossible to level. Moral of the story - I hope your printer does not have the axis issues and if it does, live with it because the prints it did produce were amazing. If you do have issues and are able to resolve them via the Feral Engineer's process, PLEASE post how you did it. It's a great printer.

Excellent video. I preordered mine a week or two ago. There was a comment awhile back where someone had found some compatible nozzles on aliexpress. Fortunately I can make some myself in 0.6 or larger once I get a hold of a first one, but hopefully they’ll have that sorted by the time it arrives. I haven’t watched the video on setting up homing on Klipper yet but if it’s anything like Marlin it should be pretty easy to adjust the sensitivity where it can be done live with M codes.

Good review, thank you! How would you describe Elegoos choice to use only 85C hotbed in the MAX, while the smaller ones go over 100C? That limits the usage of filaments badly in my opinion. Sure they claim the printhead goes to 300C and can print ABS, Nylon,, etc. but because of the hotbed limitations this is a sketchy claim from them...

Sorry for the long message. Hopefully, i didn't miss a video about this, and hopefully, this is seen by Uncle jessy. But have you ever used glass filler for scratches on the screen of a resin printer to repair it instead of replacing the screen. I'm still new to resin printing and forgot to put a screen protector on my saturn s and the clean up put scratches on the screen and now it doesn't print well in the area of the scratches and I was curious if a glass filler would be a viable and cheaper fix then replacing the assembly all together.

Would love to see some videos on usage of ABS filament with the Nepture 4 Max without an enclosure. It's massive size (practical massive as opposed to the ridiculous Orange Storm which 90% of people don't have room for) is ideal for Cosplay Cosume Parts (from Helmets to Armor to Props) which typically do not require high level detail and instead are large enough in which detail wil come from sanding and painting the piece. So, logically ABS printing those parts seems most logical to have something that won't break or melt if you are going to a Convention in Las Vegas or anywhere in Flordia during the summer!

Sensorless Homing is what these printers have, what that does is Klipper (and the Mobo) can sense when the draw of the stepper motor increases/spikes when the head (or bed) hits the end. However it does sound like the early firmware, more like the printer.cfg file isn't programmed correctly and the sensitivity is set too low. Voron printers can do this too and its been a popular thing in the community, thought I do prefer still having the physical endstop switches in my 2.4 350.

I did both. The firmware update undoes the changes, but also has different values than previously. There is also something clearly different in the way the steppers are driven as they are louder, but the homing issues seem to be mostly fixed.

I'm not a fan of the false marketing about The Neptune 4 Max being able to print PLA/PETG/ABS/TPU/Nylon Filaments. Having a 85 degree bed relegates you to PLA, PETG, and TPU. The bed temp for ABS and Nylon are kind of a stretch unless you print blends with your fingers crossed, and some glue; not to mention you would also need an enclosure(makes sense). I wish they made a version with at-least a 100c bed, ideally a 120c bed. I realize that the power supply would need an upgrade too.

My 4 Max is shaking so bad the pla is unspooling. I have tried multiple surfaces and leveled over and over. Did yours do this?

Have you run the input shaping calibration?

Thank you for your reply. I got it figured out. It was a stupid loose bolt. My Neptune 3 worked so well right away it spoiled me. I learned a ton more about the machine this time around at least.
