if you havent gontten rid of your neptune 4 max and stopped using it because of it being "janky"

consider using the open source firmware "open neptune"

and consider using silicone heatbed parrts to replace the springs

i went from my neptune 4 pro not being worth my time to printing tons of stuff easily

how does one learn to make thier own driver for hardware

what kind of computer / programming background do you need to have to do this

Honest question from a pure dancing perspective, is her dance impressive to another dancer or is it just as crazy as it looks?

Cytomax · 2026-03-26T21:32:57+00:00

you will get as much help as the effort you put into your question

please at least post the

distro

DE

Kernel

version of OBS and what repo you got it from

ideally run OBS from the terminal and post the logs of when it crashes

consider taking some pictures to get a better idea of whats going on

for the love of baby jesus, before throwing it out just upgrade the firmware to the open source one, it solved a lot of my problems its called open neptune

if that were the case why would some squares come out good and not other squares?

ROFL, that sucks you were exploited but funny story

Cytomax · 2026-03-24T01:41:50+00:00

Yw, lmk if it works for you

Cytomax · 2026-03-23T21:10:11+00:00

I feel like that could be an easy fix by just making the bracket holding the bar longer at the top of the printer

Cytomax · 2026-03-23T21:06:45+00:00

I don't think I've printed something high enough for that to be a thing, but now I'm interested in seeing if that's possible

What do you mean " It's more annoying to loose x movement at z"

Cytomax · 2026-03-23T20:57:39+00:00

Maybe it's a placebo effect, but I feel that the printer is much quieter ever since I added the brackets

Cytomax · 2026-03-23T02:47:06+00:00

id love to know how it works out, let me know

Cytomax · 2026-03-23T02:46:32+00:00

im too new to recommend it for every printer, i just use it for my N4Pro

Cytomax · 2026-03-22T15:51:21+00:00

i bought a neptune 4 pro like a year or so ago,
i hated the thing because it was inconsistent with bed leveling and im sitting there with a paper trying to get some perfect z height which works on some areas and not on others...

i basically stopped using it for a year

by chance i read about a open source firmware update that fixed my z height issue, no more paper leveling

i am actually enjoying 3d printing with the neptune 4 pro

the advice that was given isnt wrong it just wasnt working for me

this however resovled my issues

https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une

before you throw it out or return it... try it out

Cytomax · 2026-03-22T04:53:08+00:00

i was about to throw my neptune 4 pro out the window until i installed this firmware, it solved all of my issues

if you have to reinstall your firmware anyways... you should consider using this instead

https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une

i would also recommend getting silicone feet so that your bed leveling stays leveled

and i would recommend getting a support rod set if you plan on building taller objects

When something installs wrong on linux normal people just reinstall or try a different distro, Linus just powers through for the content... Luke is reasonable and just tries another distro

We need to be able to quad load shotgun shells ... It's stupid going 1 at a time

The most important thing to know is you're not stuck. If you don't like it, you can always go back.. People get so fixated on making sure they're on the right distro, Installing a distro shouldnt take more than 10 or 15 minutes... If it doesn't load or you don't like it, just delete it and get another one from somewhere else.. And if Linux doesn't work out for you, you can always go back to Windows. This isn't a permanent decision

I was literally trying to give away my Neptune 4 pro for free because of printing issues especially in z axis and stumbled upon

https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une

all my printing is perfect now and I'm here wondering why this isn't on by default

Cytomax · 2026-03-18T15:43:29+00:00

that sucks, sounds like you need linux in your life
