I damaged my printer right after a few uses 🙈 After a print was done, I took the print bed off with the print and took it to another room to show someone else. When I returned to the printer, I clicked "Home" to put everything in the home position, not knowing that if there is no metal print bed, the printer will not stop going down the Z axes until you turn it off. Now I have a small hole where the nozzle worked its way into the heat bed. Yes it is my first Printer 🙈
@@florianmsn9941 that’s weird. I guess it has something to do with it being an optical sensor rather than the typical cr/bl-touch, but still that’s super strange that it wouldn’t stop.
Really good, clear video, it touched on points not mentioned in the offical ELEGOO video, like I didn't know the base plate was magnetic and just peeled off ! Very well articulated and very very helpful for a beginner. Thank you very much.👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Got the printer on summer sales from Elegoo 4 weeks ago, had it assembled but was "scared" to continue. Followed your instructions and is printing right now the buddha (8 minutes in). Used A4 pages to calibrate it and all seems well 🤞
Great video. Sometimes mine prints first few layers great then goes insane on x axis and proceeds to print wild layer shift. Sometimes it's just fine. Total pain in rear actually
Is there a way to level the printer in corners rather than just the one spot? I'm having issues with my printer being even at the front, but uneven at the back.
After 120hrs of printing I have issues with the bed leveling, like the extruder just print aligned only in the middle and right side of the bed but on the left there's like 1/2mm of distance from the bed and the extruder. Everything is tighten up and I do autocalibration+sheet a4 calibration but nothing changes.. Dunno how to solve that, it's a shame.
leveling is off-axis notice how it levels on the very right edge of the bed while not on the very left side... Just setup one today, the homing also is not centered at all.
Mine isnt printing so well. I wonder what i did wrong. Ir doesnt stick and starts to clump. I thought i could come to this video and see where ive went wrong but ive done exactly what you did.
Calibrate your machine. Check the temps. Check the flow. It takes trying to troubleshoot for this stuff to work. It’s not some magical thing that is perfect right out of the box and stays that way.
I got this printer in this week. But at the start of the print it purges/wipes filament on the edge of the bed while homing. Your video shows a blob. But mine does a streak and a blob, then moves to the center to print. Is this normal?
Vlad- could you provide the nozzle/bed temperature that you are using to print TPU on the Neptune 3 Pro? Also are you printing directly on PEI sheet? Thanks, Gerry
I thoguht I heard they re-added the wheels on the bed of the pro so people could manually level it due to some people haven't warped beds and an unusable printer?
Did anyone else notice when leveling it does not start in the center and the furthest point to the left is about an inch from the end of the bed. Is this normal mine does the same thing?
I am new to 3D printing. My intention is to print translucid models of old classic car indicator and brakes that I can not find. I am able to design them in blender but now I want to be able to print them. I am getting this printer next week but I am trying to understand what is the best material to use for printing and the correct nozzle size. Are the nozzle compatible with ender 3 model and is the best filament for my purpose the PETG ? I am confused about the size that I should use and the nozzle type. Can somebody who owns this model printer give me some advise?
If you're going to print car parts you'd need to print in PETG because it's a lot more durable and temperature resistant. As far as I know PETG had the best translucency, however it wouldn't be perfectly see-through like tinted glass. For the added strength a car part would need I'd recommend a 0.6mm or even 0.8mm nozzle size, standard V6 or MK8 nozzle would fit (they're the same, just different names). PETG is harder to get printing properly but it can be done, make sure to do your research and do plenty of test prints. For absolute best results to get light through, I recommend getting a 1.2mm nozzle and setting the line width to 2.4mm, that way you can have as few lines next to each other as possible for most of the print, which is much better for light to pass through. Lastly, I highly recommend using Esun brand PETG, of all the brands I've used theirs has been the easiest to work with. Good luck to you, and happy printing!
@@YourLocalRaccoon Thank you! I see myself facing a great deal of test and failures… I will follow your advise and try PETG with a different nozzle type

Who else thinks the elegoo Neptune 3 pro, plus, and max are the best FDM 3D printers on the market right now?
I love my EN3pro. The best 3d printer I have owned so far
I think they’re awesome for the price, unfortunately they’re not available anywhere, hopefully they’ll be back in stock soon.

My N3P will be in my hands tomorrow. Thank you for showing how to level this

just ordered my neptune 3 pro :) will be here on the 12th of december the latest.
Look at that mesh 10:40 -.31 to +.48
I couldnt even get mine to be that close and anything but tiny prints failed the first layer miserably.
Thank you, very grateful for your well presented video here…. Every portion was helpful for my set-up.

did u ever figure it out? I have the same issue
I just got one and i love it, easy to use
i LOLed when u blacked out the screen
What do you do when it dosent stick to the build plate
Thank you so much for this video it help me out a lot, this printer is a huge upgrade from my ender 3 pro
leveling is off-axis notice how it levels on the very right edge of the bed while not on the very left side... Just setup one today, the homing also is not centered at all.
the magnetic sensor is actually on the back left side of the extruder, from the front view, that is why is it off-set :)
13:15 LMFAO
im guessing that port could power a laser engraver attachment....look like mine would plug right in!
can you print an object in different colors

Hi, the top belt on mine is tight. Is there a way to adjust?
I got this printer in this week. But at the start of the print it purges/wipes filament on the edge of the bed while homing. Your video shows a blob. But mine does a streak and a blob, then moves to the center to print.
Is this normal?
Mine does the same
Same for me. Is it normal?
thank you!
hi what is the max tempeture nozzle for the elegoo meptune 3 pro. thanks men
Pretty sure it's 250c
Vlad- could you provide the nozzle/bed temperature that you are using to print TPU on the Neptune 3 Pro? Also are you printing directly on PEI sheet? Thanks, Gerry
Same as PLA. 200 nozzle, 60 bed but slower speed 30-40mm/s. Holds to PEI no issues.
@@Just_Print Thank you! You said this was a great printer for TPU so I'm going to give it a try 😁

Someone on Reddit mentioned that replacing the plastic spacers with metal ones solves these types of issues.
Has anyone conformed the settings are indeed save? I have had to reset them daily.
that buy link is the wrong link
@13:16 LMFAO!!!!! HAHAHAHA
13:24 I did that exact thing twice lmao
Did anyone else notice when leveling it does not start in the center and the furthest point to the left is about an inch from the end of the bed. Is this normal mine does the same thing?
Mine does the same so I’m going to *assume* it’s normal?

ELEGOO Neptune 3 PRO or Ender 3 S1? :D
The 3 pro right now is waaayy cheaper. $230 on sale at the moment. Go for it.
