😆

I was going to say the same thing, but I wanted to peruse the comments first. You beat me to it.😂

HAHA, I also saw that...afterwards checking comments, if I was alone :) very funny... so the printer is buggy... sad to see with my own eyes :) :)

me too :)

mind sux quality control sux sovol customers service would not reply not will to help

​@@ddizon666Try emailing multiple times. One of three got to them lol

Yep! I really don't know why they didn't use linear rails on this one. maybe we'll see an SV06 get klipper in the future!

Look into the qidi xmax 3. Core xy with heated enclosure and 330x330 build volume. I’ve been getting amazing prints on mine using abs at high speeds. I’ll have a review on that shortly!

yeah the shroud is a waste. i dont think sovol will do a max version of this, i dont think they have ever made a printer larger than 300MM. the big comparison between this and the neptune 4 plus is the built in accelerometers and the gantry struts which i think work better than the angle brackets here.

@@WildRoseBuilds did you have to patch the neptune firmware? there have been banging issues with homing the plus and max. So far, it's looking like if you adjust driver_sgthrs slightly and slow down homing speed to ~20-40, it will rectify the issue.

Its from a user called PipeCox, i think they have it on cults 3d

@@WildRoseBuilds I'll look for it thank you

did you try to flashing over USB? there should be a way to upgrade from an attached thumbdrive instead which i find has better results. as for slicer i'd stick to whatever they supply even if its a bit older. there's usually some funky start and end gcode you have to transfer to a newer version of cura.

@@WildRoseBuilds That is exactly how I did it. reformatted the thumb drive and copied the firmware file 1.0.9something. I then put it in the machine while powered off, rebooted it. then went Configuration>System>Upgrade. the thing spat out what looked about 2 sentences on Chinese in red text on an orange background. likely a critical warning (this was not displayed in the help video). the thing restarted once, then again, to no brain for the past 24 hours I left it running

@@WildRoseBuilds yes, i copied off the files and reformatted the supplied drive, loaded the update to it plugged it in, cold started the whole machine and pressed update after boot up as described in the video. It then put out a line of chinese text in a box at the top of the screen, yellow on an orange background. After a while, it rebooted, the GUI behaved wonky as hell, I thought it might have been a bad update, so i pressed factory defaults, pressed yes when asked, it pretty much bricked right then Trying to get a replacement display/driver for it now

Sovol sent me a new firmware chip in the mail, Yay! Ok, I've done several benchies, and put it to work immediately cranking out small, useful parts for my day job (my company buys them) This being my first printer ever, there is a lot of trial and error, fine tuning and the like. My biggest complaint so far, is when a print wrecks and sticks to the extruder. there is no Z axis lift command anywhere I can find that doesn't require homing first. What if it won't home? I ran into that this morning, with half the print stuck to the extruder, no access to it without lifting it first. I tried to, but all I got was continuous grinding noises while the thing pressed itself into the build plate. power switch. I finally got it off on the next try by shutting off the power just as the print head hit the corner of the build plate position. had to re level the bed afterwards, it got tweaked

Super cool! thanks for sharing!

this machines a bit bigger but yes the neptune 4 plus is definetly better haha

If only it wouldn't be such a flawed printer for its firmware

get anycubic max or plus

From reviews + owning sovol 07+ I would say neptune 4 pro i s top, sovol second and kobra 2 is a problematic garbage. Neptune 4 was unavailable when I was ordering so I went with 07 and It is awesome. Some minor upgrades (more in software than hardware) and quality and speed are outstanding. But I'm thinking about max size printer and will definitly go for Neptune 4 max.

From what ive heard the Neptunes are horrible as well with a lot of people not being able to even get a proper first layer

RIP to the lil guy :(

@@WildRoseBuilds 🤣🤪

i assumed it was 400mm but i think its actually 380mm tall

sovol is built by creality... there's your QC issue in a nutshell :\

@@TheFeralEngineer yeah that explains it, though I think Sovol has the less allocated to the QC budget.

@@CuttinInIdaho it's a giant race to the bottom for all of these companies right now. They're pumping out product faster than they can even finish testing their firmware and either bricking machines with field updates or having the machine go Skynet and try to shove the business end into places it really doesn't belong. Plus, they're installing a firmware that requires a hair more brain power and user intervention that people aren't used to, so there's been a ton of backlash due to the learning curve. I've got a slide in one of my videos that sums up the Klipper experience titled "klipper is not for teh dumbz" that I think is pretty on point.

I wouldn't call it less trouble and reliable considering how many first layer and auto leveling problem the Neptune 4 has. Elegoo even admitted that the firmware and leveling sensor are flawed.

That would be for the Kobra 2 Max, Neptune 4 is flawed in all of it's iterations.

Hang on, I’ve had excellent results with my neptune 4 pro. At first I had some strange layer shifts but realised that I had tightened the x-axis belt too much (it snapped :)) after replacing it Ive had excellent, and fast, prints.

That's WAY more than one word.

Oh also which Elegoo?
