    Fantastic video! I made the mistake of taking off my nozzle when the extruder hotend was too cold and I accidentally snapped one of the screws holding it in place. Wish I would've watched your video before I tried removing it myself. Thanks for the "straight to the point" video, extremely helpful!

  • @trikeonabike4949

    Most helpful video about this- because the other video (by Elegoo I believe) showed the extruder had to be taken apart (remove the cover and fans). This video was the simplest and straight to the point. And thanks, I did what you showed and changed my nozzle (was printing all sorts of things almost 24-7 for months now).

    • @BenMyhillJones

      Thanks! I am glad you found it useful. The elegoo video is pretty complex, and only really applies to their Neptune 4 Max and Plus printers. I find it really strange that they didn't make a video of their own.

    • @BenMyhillJones
      @BenMyhillJones  Год назад

      I am glad it helped! Good luck with your mobo, if the back EMF from spinning the motors manually damaged it, you could look into replacing the stepper motor drivers.

    I just got the Neptune 3 Pro a few months ago and wanted to swap nozzles. This is the only video that I could find that shows how. Thank you for this. The N3P print head is exactly the same style if not the exact same head.
    As a side note, I also took the plastic housing off mine which has the 2 side fans. This allowed me to clean them out as some dust webs were starting to form. Do this before heating up the nozzle. It only involves removing 2 small hex screws then pulling the power plugs from each side fan. The wrenches came with my printer to do this.

    Thanks for giving the details on the tightness of the nozzle when torquing.
    This helped a lot, I wasn't sure if there was a piece I had to take a part within the assembly (there is a brass stem the comes out from the heatblock, which is why I came here.
    To see that you can just take it off from it being still connected and on, was surprising. I thought I was going to have to take a heatgun to it.

    Just a clarification because my friend made this mistake, make sure you dont put the pliers on the thermistor, located on the upper right hand of the hotend block, you are likely to shatter the ceramic that holds it on and you will get thermal runaway

    I noticed you mentioned you have a CHT hardened steel nozzle... I would really like to get one of those, but its seems the manufacturer only sells regular flow hardened steel, and the only 3rd parties that sell them for the Neptune 4 Pro are overseas and will not ship to the US. How did you get yours? So far this is my biggest gripe about the machine... the proprietary nozzles. And if they're going to make a high speed 3D printer and market it as such, shouldn't they offer OEM high flow nozzles?

  • @albertvermeule5844
    @albertvermeule5844 2 месяца назад

    This is easier than the "official' methode on the Elegoo channel. I measured the block and decided to use a 9mm spanner instead of pliers and before i fed i the filament i first adjusted my Z offset and i did a pressure advance test after that, because i had put off replacing the nozzle for so long it was totally worn out.

    Thanks for the great video Ben, me and my son were struggling to figure out why our Neptune 4 plus was printing like garbage after only using it since Christmas. Turns out the nozzle has a chunk of filament stuck in it. Question for you- Can the filament be removed somehow or is there a site we should just pick up some new nozzles from? is there a brand you like or would recommend? Also when this printer is printing hatch X infill I hear the nozzle hitting the plastic. is that the Z height to tight to the bed on adjustment?

    @donaldhoudek2889 Год назад +3

    Hey Ben, GREAT Video. I just got the Neptune 4 Pro for Christmas/Birthday (3 days apart). The unpacking, assembly, alignment and test print went perfect. Elegoo did a nice job with instructions and of course the pre-watching of RUclips videos also helped. I am using the hardwired Ethernet connection and my home server sees it. The only issue that I have encountered is logging into the Ultimaker account, that is the only roadblock that I have encountered. I need to try again today. I was unable to select "Skip" to get to the 3D printer selection list and after trying a few times I gave up. I see that there is a firmware update already, so I need to get this issue resolved. Again, GREAT Video! Oh, one question... how many hours do you get out of a nozzle?

    • @BenMyhillJones
      @BenMyhillJones  Год назад +1

      Thank you so much! For printing non abrasive filaments (PLA, PETG, ABS, etc.) you can expect a few thousand hours. I am sure there are people with more hours on a certain nozzle, but the only real need to swap is if you get a really bad clog you can't undo or if you are going to print abrasives. Abrasive filaments need the hardened steel nozzle, which I do not know how long will last. Like many commenters said on me review video, you can also try OrcaSlicer, which I recently installed and have had success with. They say it improves print quality and has a stock profile for the Neptune 4 Pro, So I would definitely give that a try if you keep having issues with your ultimaker account.

      Hey Ben you seem really knowledgeable and must say your video was clear and straight forward. SUPER easy for a novice like me to follow. I have a couple questions for you. First about Orca Slicer, I can't get it to identify any of the projects I download. when i try to put it into the Orca Slicer it just doesn't show up, neither .sti or .3mf. Have you had that happen to you? Second I have a Neptune 4 with the extra fan "wall" on it. I currently don't use it and have it off. Is there a reason I should be using it? Whats the benefit? Thanks for your time in advance@@BenMyhillJones

    • @BenMyhillJones
      @BenMyhillJones  Год назад

      @anthonylong5870 I personally have not experienced many issues with OrcaSlicer. The X axis mounted fans are loud, but if you are printing something with lots of overhangs they can be real useful. If you don't use them you can just turn them off.

So any chance you can show how to do it?

Despite updating to the most recent firmware, the sluggish recommened print speed of 140mm/m in the previous email from Elegoo remains unsatisfactory. Since your printer appears to be functioning well, may I ask if you could provide your printer's config file and Cura profile?

    Ben, when you are looking for subject matter for future videos, maybe do one on Firmware/Software upgrades for the Elegoo 4. I am giving up on the Cura software install. I can ping the printer, my server sees the printer and the Static IP that I assigned to the printer shows up on the printer display and server. There are no firewall rules or port forwarding applied to it. A last ditch effort I created a "Printer" VLAN and all the other printers are working fine in it, but the Neptune 4 does not like it. There is some data being sent to and from the printer but I did not trace it. I believe that the issue lies in the Neptune 4. Tomorrow is another day!

Enter this address into a browser and it should connect you to the Fluidd dashboard. I have never used the Cura connect method, it is intended to be used with klipper.

    Hi Ben, do you have any advice how to print PETG ? The PLA is working fine with my N4 pro, but with the petg... no luck - 240/70C - fan on/off - won't stick - it's a mess

    • @BenMyhillJones
      @BenMyhillJones  Год назад +2

      Wierd that PLA works fine but PETG doesn't. I would try higher temperatures, 70c seems a bit low for PETG, I will go as high as 90C but for most I print between 80 and 85C. Depending on the filament you might want to go higher nozzle temp wise, I would try 250 and maybe even 260 if the adjusted bed temps don't work. I would also clean the bed thouroughly, it probably won't fix it, but it will eliminate another variable.

    I can't tell if I'm just stupid or something, but I just got my Neptune 4 Pro and just CANNOT get the nozzle off. I've followed these instructions exactly, but I'm just not strong enough to unscrew the damn thing. By now the pliers have taken big chunks out of the hopper and have scratched it all up. I feel really dumb. I mean this thing JUST came in the mail but I have been trying for almost 2 hours. Does it need to be hot for me to replace it???

      I don't know if anyone told you but yeah you should have it warmed up to get it out

    Yea this fucked my whole extruded. The pliers damaged the heat brake and the nozzle would never budge.
