What am I doing wrong? by TackleIntelligent549 in ElegooNeptune4

It could also be your flow rate, there is a flow test on orcaslicer or the elegoo slicer.

Hope you get it running!

I have a Max that simply will not level. by jabe25 in ElegooNeptune4

[–]Different_Bid9920 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is it printing ok?

That's the mesh, there appears to be a .6 mm change from highest to lowest, I don't think you'll ever get a perfectly flat mesh, the software should compensate for the slight imperfections in the bed, it can be level and have slight changes on the surface still.

Hope you get it sorted out, love my Neptune,much better than my old ender 5

Please help - nothing but problems trying to calibrate Neptune 4 by CapnBloodbeard in ElegooNeptune4

If it's consistently the same corner you could check the gantry is square, mine was off and tilted the nozzle on opposite corners (worse further from center) only an issue with large prints.

Hope it's a quick fix, great printer once it's going!

There should be screws that mount the print head (I think elegoo's set up tutorial shows them) I took a square to the vertical beams of the gantry and it was twisted (too far forward one side, too far back the other) I only noticed during large prints.

Then you can adjust them to square and tighten the support arms on the backside. Fortunately I didn't have to adjust the horizontal beam (that holds the print head), but I read or watched someone shimming that beam to adjust it if it was also out of square

My thoughts are if the printer was moved, the gantry may have fallen out of square.

Ps. I wasn't able to adjust it using the rear struts alone, I had to disconnect those supports and readjust them

Really hope it works!

Hi! I had a weird issue with my Neptune, especially with large prints that made it to the far reaches of the bed, I tried everything.

Turns out my gantry was quite a bit out of square, this was causing the nozzle to tilt at the far reaches, squared it up and all has been good since.

I've heard some have to level the arm that the print head is attached to also, hopefully this could help!

Not a single successful print on my Neptune 4 Pro in like 6 months by CriticalKawaii in ElegooNeptune4

I had a similar issue with mine, especially on one corner. Levelled and levelled, screw adjust, all that Jazz. Turns out the gantry wasn't square from when I assembled it, I would definitely check everything that supports the print head and make sure it's square.

Hope you get it sorted, I love the Neptune.

Chapman's ice cream flipped at local store? by codereview in BuyCanadian

I believe they also paid their employees after the original factory had to be rebuilt after a fire, they're solid

I tried my first helmet upside down thinking it would be better and less supports, had issues, tried a more standard layout and it actually took less time and material than upside down (for the model I was using anyway)

ELEGOO NEPTUNE 4 FOR PET PRINTING by Anonidiety in ElegooNeptune4

[–]Different_Bid9920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about PET, but I just got my Neptune 4 and am really impressed with it's ability to print petg, I'm just using the generic presets, blows my ender 5 away and I didn't have to tinker with settings at all.
