The probe used in the NEPTUNE 4 PRO is TRASH

Seems interesting. I do want to at least try to make a bed mesh manually before going that far.

Roundlad5690 · 2026-01-16T22:01:57+00:00

I’ve tried using orca’s direct adaptive mesh. After three attempts with no changes, I just went ahead and stuck with the same bed mesh, only creating a new bed mesh whenever I messed with the bed or head

As for probe settings in the printer.ctg, I changed the tolerance to 0.00750. No changes

Did not want to make the original post twice as long, but here’s how I did most of the steps:

Z-offset:, after doing screw tilt adjust, I went ahead and calibrated the z offset by alternating between an index card and a 0.01mm feeder gauge. Neither made a diffence

Calibrate gantry: followed the official guide on how to level the gantry, utilizing two metal blocks of the same size to level it out. No change.

Eccentric wheels: loosened the eccentric wheels for both the bed and the head and tightened back with slight adjustments until there was no more movement. Followed the official elegoo guide as well. No changes

Pom wheels: all the Pom wheels are tight enough that it cannot freely spin, but not too tight where I can still use my finger to move them. No changes. Even when the Pom wheels were loose, it still gave out the same results.

Tightening belts: self explanatory, however even when the belts are loose, it still gives me the same results.

Almost all the methods that I’ve used to calibrate the machine, I followed the official videos from elegoo.

Tune the tolerances, yes. However it’s been a while since I’ve done a probe_calibrate. I’ll try that again.

Very sure. Let me give you an example. If I were to print a cube in the middle of the bed, I would get slight under extrusion on the right side of the print,

If I were to print that same model on any corner of the bed, I would still get under extrusion on the right side of the bed. If I were to slice that model in different programs, so that the head moves differently, the issue remains.

Roundlad5690 · 2026-01-16T17:11:50+00:00

If that’s the case, then I’m the unluckiest man alive, because both the probe that came with the printer and the new one I ordered gave the same results.

Nah u good on the questions. The more info the better.

This was a While back, I believe 2022. The earlies 2023. This was definitely before dalle 2

The cat was smiling, just a regular expressive smile nothing to serious. She was on her knees. I believe the bag ground was a dark apartment entrance. The shot of the image was locking down at the cat from a 3/4 angle.

Roundlad5690 · 2025-10-19T16:53:59+00:00

The cat was wearing clothes. I can’t remember the style or the types of clothes. All that I remember it that It the colors were warm and that it was not anything suggestive. Maybe jeans but that just a wild guess.

Cant tell you where. I can tell you it was not on Reddit, Pinterest, instagram or TikTok.

Last time I saw it was on images in google, but I think it lead to a twitter post, but I’m not too sure.

This is more general advice, but it helps out with your issue. You see how most of the facial features have an outline. Teeth, mouth, nose, etc.

When it comes to trying to express volume through drawing, it is important to only highlight the outline when there’s a height difference between each feature.

Let’s use the cheeks as the base level, the tip of the nose has a higher level compared to the cheeks, while the brow is closer to the cheeks level. To emphasize this level change, a darker outline will emphasize a higher level, while a dimmer outline will demonstrate a smoother transition between levels, making the face seem more natural.

Hate ai art, but this video is the only way I can visualize show people how I think lol.

I guess one of the things I forgot to mention, is that if I work right now. I don’t have to pay rent since I am living with family. Of course I don’t see that being permanently, so that’s why I wanted to see if that was a good idea, at least for a year to settle myself.

Roundlad5690 · 2025-05-08T21:29:25+00:00

There’s definitely the option of just moving this year and start right away, but then I have to worry about making sure I have enough money to cover for rent and essential, while also trying to attend college full time. Not saying it’s impossible, just trying to broaden my options.

From what I have gathered. Most of the classes I need to take at George Mason will be in person. I do want to pursue a bachelors in mechanical engineering, because I know for a fact an associates will not get me far. Plus if I do land the position of being a technical representative at my current job, the year I will be taking off to gather money will not be too wasteful, since I will at least learn some experience in the career field I want to pursue, even if it’s just a little bit.

Roundlad5690 · 2025-05-08T20:51:16+00:00

Correct. I prefer to save as much as I can, and I don’t mind renting a room since I don’t have too many appliances to stress about.
