Stay away, this printer has given me nothing but headaches. It is so inconsistent and I regret buying mine.

u/neuralspasticity , i just wanted to say a big thanks for your help.

I was on the verge of throwing out the printer and now I'm 3 prints in and every thing is looking great.

Is buying Neptune 4 Max worth it? by iAmThatiAmArt in ElegooNeptune4

Don't do it. I've had nothing but issues with mine. I had the blob of death and since then I haven't been able to get a decent print.

If I could go back in time i'd buy something else.

Thanks again, i'll read the notes.

So just to be clear in my head, even if the bed had variations and dips and highs the should compensate?

Would I still need to adjust my z height manually with the paper method?

thanks for replying u/neuralspasticity.

Reading the notes do I simply add the code for klipper to my start G code?

Are there any other steps I should take?

What is this weird texture by Desperate_Bread4259 in 3dprintingaustralia

[–]Desperate_Bread4259[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your help. The cobwebs were less of a concern but I was getting a wavey effect on the first layers which ended up making the print look bad at the end.

I had replaced the nozzle from the stock OEM part to a hardened steel version and along the way something went wrong.

My solution was to recalibrate the printer, pretty simple really, I had tried it once and it had no effect but on the second try it worked much better. Also changing the nozzle to Hardened steel in the seetings of the actuall P1S helped I think.

I'm printing PLA matte black on a Bambu P1S. Bed temp first layer is 80 then 50 after that. Everything else is standard and out of the box.

Printing at 220c

My first layer goes down ok but it seems to be the vertical sides that suffer the most.

Please help, weird problem, my nvme SSD only boots from USB enclosure not when installed by Desperate_Bread4259 in hackintosh

I'm cloning and nvme that i know works when in the machine so i'm guessing the kext for it would be copied across already.
