As someone who backed the Elegoo Jupiter mostly based on Jesse's hype, and ended up with what's basically a beta test unit, I plead to those of you reading this- wait until the second revision at minimum.
The good news is they should hopefully have a firmware update available soon for me to test that will hopefully resolve some of the things I’ve called out here 🤞🤞
@hotshoestudios it's Great machine neptune 4 max. Mines been running 20 hours a day since January 15th and no major issues just occasional Littles ones like bed leveling when I haven't done it in over a week and sometimes having to change to a new nozzle gone through 2 nozzles so it's not that bad.
After my experience with the Neptune 4 series firmware, I don't have any desire to purchase any more of their printer products until they can demonstrate that they have better quality control and mastery over Klipper. Neptune 4 users have been depending on the efforts of a few individuals doing open source Klipper.
Oh man, any large print is anxiety inducing. I work with BigRep printers and prints running for 5-6 weeks is not uncommon... I don't sleep much when I have those running. 😂
I've started the pre planning for a 3D printed life sized Master Chief followed by a life sized Arbiter so this could be huge if they ever get it working full up ...
That would seem to be a trend in general. Ever since Bambu, more manufacturers have been making Core XY's, and it's only a matter of time before they all start integrating Klipper in some way.
@@ultra_phantomaj8300 Bambu just used what open source printers like RatRig and Voron had been doing for a while. Bambu just made it closed off and an appliance rather than a hobby in itself.
Let's just call it "non bed slinger" designs. Printers like this are easily enclosed, and their footprint isn't variable on the workbench. I like my 3 and 4 Plus printers, but so tired of dealing with adhesion issues due to bed movement and temperature variations.
@@eslmatt811 Correct. There is a motor on the X axis gantry controlling it's movement. At that size, I'm not sure belts would have worked in a typical CoreXY configuration. This might be a use case where moving away from belts completely. Magnetic levitation linear motor system might be a great use case for these extremely large printers.
That cable length is short on purpose, i can imagine this thing is drawing significantly more power than a regular printer. Increase cable length increase amperage.
that's actually a standard power cable for high amp power supplies. I think anything past 1KW uses that plug. It means the cable is thicker and can handle more power.
I'm excited for when more companies start coming out with large-format 3D printers in the commercial market and further bringing the cost down. Seems to be an ambitious step in the right direction.
Holy f... This is AMAZING. With a printbed that big you could make complete dirt bike plastics. or even atv/quad plastics. Making both custom ones, or just ones you cant buy anymore. AMAZING.
Jesus. Even at this size, the filament bracket is still mounted on the back. USB port on the floor? Why do these companies do this to us? Is it on purpose?
Excited for when I get my giga, looking to print molds for carbon fiber composite bodywork on my formula cars and maybe designing fixtures for work... Maybe even a life-size formula sim rig for my spare bedroom..
That is ridiculously huge. It's perfect for cosplay costuming and such. That monster head is awesome. It looks like a nightmare to adjust. Even just cleaning the bed plates, I'd have to worry about leveling again. It's such s cool novelty though.
Yeah the leveling was cumbersome and time consuming but man is the potential there to print some hugely awesome things. I will be having a lot of fun with this printer … until I break it 😂
I recommend buying a bunch of small weights. You can embed them in prints or just put them inside the middle of things like the ornithopter. You'd be amazed how much being able to control the center of gravity can elevate prints without having to do really in-depth engineering of the models.
the auto mesh calibration changes is because of the pressure point abl system. This is the same as the Elegoo neptune 3 machine I have, The value is always changing even though I changed nothing.
Peeps that backed it are going to have a lot of fun chewing through filament with this beast. Leveling was a bit cumbersome but man oh man am I loving being able to print just about anything on it
@@UncleJessy UPDATE: Got it delivered, and honestly got it up and running with no issues ❤. Your feedback along with many others made a huge difference because Elegoo listened 🤘! It is exactly what I was hoping for when the kickstarter was announced. I wanted to thank you for your hard work 🫡 because I would have been very frustrated if they didn’t make those changes and they would not have if some Pro Print Masters didn’t get their hands on it first. ❤❤❤
I was watching a video of a review of this machine and the Elegoo VP did say they are going to make another smaller model unit in the OrangeStorm line. He didn't say how much smaller though. Sounded like they were going to make a few of these in the entire line eventually. No time line given either. I'm guessing everything is based on how well the Giga sells.
Im wondering, with such a long filament line between runout sensor and extruder, isn't it going to wrap around the axis and interfere with movement? maybe even touch the print, possibly catch onto something and cause fail?
You may want to scrap the motherboard and install a Duet motherboard. With the expense of filament with such large prints, the quality of the motherboard will definitely matter. If your calibration sensor is infrared, the shiny surface of the build plate will mess with your calibration measurements. If it is a pressure sensor, then the plate may be too thin and cause surface changes due to uneven heating or flex during calibration. Hope this helps. May want to try a BL touch sensor to see if your measurements are consistent.
@Uncle Jessy - The power cord is a standard IEC power cable (can't recall the style number off of the top of my head at the moment) but one can easily buy the plug from a local electrical supply store (off-the-shelf component). That plug is required due to the higher input current requirements that the printer needs (power cord is probably on a 14 gauge wire setup... looks that way to me). How much does the printer weigh??? Looks totally awesome otherwise. :)
The larger the setup the more difficult it will be to regulate temps without a proper enclosure which = $$ and time. Most will probably lather the build plates with glue though..
Looks wild and I wish i could have got into the kicksterter pre-orders. I have a couple critisisms: Would love to see hookups for users to install their own shields for the front, back, top, and sides of the printer. Would also like to see a dark mode for the touchscreen.
Not sure if its available for this printer but I can confirm that on Elegoo's website the current version of their Cura for the Neptune printers is based on 5.6! I was super happy to not be forced to use 4.8 anymore if I wanted to use their fork.
I just received my DoWell 1610-10 It is 1620 x 1020 x 1020 and it prints extremely precise. If you want BIG and precise, it is very hard to beat this printer.
The same bed leveling issue happens to the Neptune 4 series. I would strongly advised to avoid it since it cost so much and leveling the bed with a probe is the BASIC skill a printer needs to have. Or purchase a different probe for it. Also, purchase a USB extension cord to position it by the pad instead of the bottom. The filament. I would set something up that is mounted to the wall and goes out towards the middle of the printer instead of using the back of the printer. Or relocate to the front instead.
Whatever room you build this in, it’s not leaving. My RatRig 500 can go through doorways, but there is no way that this is going through any doorway while assembled.
Those prints are... Impressive. A few issues, but this honestly looks pretty good. Wouldn't be hard to add an enclosure either, though a bit expensive. I mean, cardboard is cheap though. Given it can print stuff the rest of the market simply can't, I'm especially thinking car parts and large household items or huge models like you showed, it could probably pay for itself pretty quickly. Good stuff!
I've never had an interest in printing large items... until now. After seeing that rancor head, I'd love to be able to print out a giant beholder with gaping mouth and crazy eye stalks.
The printer looks amazing, it kinda makes filament seem like a bad option to have it functioning though, pellets should be an option or at the very least large spools (3kg and above) minimum.
Living Z offset/leveling -> Check tightness of things, such as the probe or heatblock on toolhead. I had massive pain on a Sovol SV07 Plus for _months_, it printed fine, but Z was always off. Turns out the heater block was loose from factory and it was live just enough to cause setting z-offset to be always wonky. tighten those 2 screws, and ever perfect first layers. I've seen other manufacturers leaving screws on toolhead rather loose as well.
As far as the spool holders being on the back, is it possible to just mount the top rail backwards? The logo might be in the back but it sounds like a worthy trade off
if you don't like the location of that USB plug, you are using a 3D printer... get yourself a 6 foot or whatever USB extension, you can get yourself a 90 degree plug to make it more low profile and print our a mount that you can have the USB plug in on the top... not too hard to do. If I had a monster printer like that, that would be one of my first prints / creations although frankly I have no idea what I'd ever make with a print bead that large.
Regarding that usb drive placement..... why not design a little flip down box cover big enough to git the usb drive while its plugged in, to protect it, and print it? Could be a fun quick little project?
I’m cautiously hopeful. The Neptune 3 Max is amazing out of the box, but the Neptune 4 Max is plagued with such problems. It looks like this Orangestorm is basically Neptune 4 firmware in a scaled up form factor.
Honestly I have never printed anything even remotely that size but I have a rule I stick to when printing big and big for me is 300x300x320 max build volume and I just print a very small (benchy size) version first, I have saved myself many times now by doing this, that said awesome video and wow what a printer 👍.
Doesn't look like a special/proprietary power plug to me. Looks like a standard C19 plug, which is less common than the C13 I think you're referring to, but given the ostensible amperage requirements of this machine, C19 was the more logical choice.
I noticed there's marks on the pei plates. Is that glue stick marks? If so, I thought that wasn't recommended for pei plates. I thought the reason for pei plates is to eliminate the need for any added adhesive?
Didn't realize the extruders weren't independent, that would have been so much cooler, but if I had one of those things would take one of those ultra detailed thrones they do for tabletop miniatures, cut it in half and have a full size one
I hope this pushes other companies like Bambu and Creality to do a larger core XY. I am about to buy a Comgrow T500 because I REALLY need a massive build plate and this thing is out of my price range since I missed the Kickstarter (1500 was a crazy good deal) but I'd happily pay Creality or Bambu for a 500cube core XY.
I've been kicking around, the idea of getting a similar sized Tronxy printer, and I have to admit that, after seeing this video, I'm going to stick to my guns. Both printers are similarly priced, BUT, the Tronxy has a one piece print bed. The thought of having to align four print beds into a single mesh, to say the least, scares me.
Maybe they can design a sliding rail system that can glide and lock into 3 position along the top of the printer.. front back and middle ( directly above center of heat beds ) that way if you run 4 extruder the filament and be at 90 degrees from print job? just a crazy idea for elegoo.. pass it on..
Currently prototyping a cosplay chest-piece on my Ender 3... this makes me feel some type of way just knowing THIS exists and that I could probably print an entire SUIT on that one build plate.
I would imagine that the people that use this would most likely have it up off the ground on a short table to keep it more away from ground dust and contaminants that gets kicked up while walking. I'm honestly surprised that the screen is mounted so high and not mid way down the chassis.
I want them to make a 500x500 or 600x600 version of this, but maybe with the 1metre height. Would be much more useful for most home users, you can fit an entire R2D2 on a 500x500x1000 printer and it doesn't eat your entire room, and could have a single bed.
Good to see what you've been up to! I wonder if they could make a small upgrade kit available to move the spool to the front? I imagine they would only need a cable extender, and some zip ties. Maybe a $10 add on?
It would be so cool if you could print a chair and actually sit in it. I don't know if PLA is up to the task, but I could see another filament having enough strength for that.
I am the same as this fella. I can no longer walk my groceries home in thin disposable plastic bags but I order PLA and PETG by tens of kilos. I find that very satisfying.
I cant wait to get this rancor head painted & mounted! Let me know what I should print with this!
Red
ok.. now I want a small 3D printer from you uncle 😡😡😤
A huge Mario and Luigi statue
Full size Slimer from ghostbusters.
thats so awesome, make dark helmets helmet, you can probably do it all in one shot full size now!!!
You should print a Spaceballs Lord Helmet helmet...
😂
absolutely 🤣

Yes!!! 😂

Should I buy an office chair or an Elegoo printer? Nah, I'll buy the Elegoo and then I can print myself a full sized chair!!
Heck yeah! I want to print my Escape Key stool I designed… but huge 😂
ESC key why not the whole keyboard. Ha
Elegoo printer is better option. Are you open to suggestions on your social media page?
After my experience with the Neptune 4 series firmware, I don't have any desire to purchase any more of their printer products until they can demonstrate that they have better quality control and mastery over Klipper. Neptune 4 users have been depending on the efforts of a few individuals doing open source Klipper.
Now you can actually go boating with the family in your benchy!
Print and Paint- Jaba The Hut
Nah pizza the hut
A failed print would be DEVASTATING!
Oh man, any large print is anxiety inducing. I work with BigRep printers and prints running for 5-6 weeks is not uncommon... I don't sleep much when I have those running. 😂
Especially if it is a massive print that could consume tons of filament
I've started the pre planning for a 3D printed life sized Master Chief followed by a life sized Arbiter so this could be huge if they ever get it working full up ...
I'm waiting on the v2 or v3 of this printer after they worked on all the kinks, but man it does look pretty cool.
You're kidding, right? The NM4 is a piece of trash and you think they can perfect this monster.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yea like fakuma said , 3max > 4max
i hope you finaly finish that magneto statue! now you have perfect printer for that
👀🤘
Maybe try a USB extension cable so you can route it up top. This printer is WILD.
Ohhhh that’s not a bad idea as well!
I wonder if the beds are moving around until heat soaked like I discovered on the N4M. That could be why the values are changing.
Need to do Castle greyskull. That would be awesome.
I wait till they offer a max version of it in the double size😂
The Creality Kar size printer
This really should be a granulate based printhead instead of Filament. You would save a ton of money and could recycle your prints at the same time.
I hope the Giga leads to more Klipper Core XY printers from Elegoo at a smaller size.
That would seem to be a trend in general. Ever since Bambu, more manufacturers have been making Core XY's, and it's only a matter of time before they all start integrating Klipper in some way.
@@ultra_phantomaj8300 Bambu just used what open source printers like RatRig and Voron had been doing for a while. Bambu just made it closed off and an appliance rather than a hobby in itself.
It's not core xy, you can see the x stepper moving on the y rail. My understanding is that core xy only scales to a point.

As long as the size of the conductors goes up, the resistance should stay the same.
@FunctionalPrintFriday which is why its short, bigger conductors bigger cost. I guarantee the longer one he got didnt have bigger conductors
that's actually a standard power cable for high amp power supplies. I think anything past 1KW uses that plug. It means the cable is thicker and can handle more power.
Correct, it is a standard plug, just not as common. Regularly used in commercial applications like my Eaton 5P 2200 UPS.
This thing is just waiting for an affordable pellet print head mod to hit the market.
OMG that Dune Ornithopter on the wall with wings spread looking like it landed on the wall would look amazing!

can tell elegoo is using this as a testing platform for a core xy printer thats smaller and more a bambu killer esk type machine

I understand that Klipper entered adaptive mesh bed( only on the print area) should be good for this printer and will save some time to start printing
That print save was amazing 🤌🏼🤌🏼

How much does the printer weigh??? Looks totally awesome otherwise. :)
At least there isn't a giant glass door to break
I see a lot of post about the Max having problems if you don't preheat your bed about 30 mins prior to leveling. Is that the same with this?
The larger the setup the more difficult it will be to regulate temps without a proper enclosure which = $$ and time. Most will probably lather the build plates with glue though..
Looks wild and I wish i could have got into the kicksterter pre-orders.

Use magnets to attach sides.

Just ordered a new mic because this rode wireless go was not good
It really really needs an enclosure to contain that bed heat (and the VOCs)
A problem I can anticipate is the whip that will happen when the last wind of filament comes off the spool
I want them to make a 500x500 or 600x600 version of this, but maybe with the 1metre height. Would be much more useful for most home users, you can fit an entire R2D2 on a 500x500x1000 printer and it doesn't eat your entire room, and could have a single bed.

what do you think? Will those nozzles fit onto the Neptune 4 Max?
How about printing a Space Marine helmet and heavy bolter?
What type of nozzles does this use and can it print more exotic filaments like carbon fiber nylon, silks, ext?
It would be so cool if you could print a chair and actually sit in it. I don't know if PLA is up to the task, but I could see another filament having enough strength for that.
I am the same as this fella. I can no longer walk my groceries home in thin disposable plastic bags but I order PLA and PETG by tens of kilos. I find that very satisfying.
