ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus 3D Printer

Product Information

The Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus* is worthwhile for everyone who is looking for a large format 3D printer with all essential features for a good print quality. It offers a direct drive extruder as well as excellent print bed adhesion due to the PEI print bed. The 4.3-inch removable capacitive touch screen can be operated by hand-held or fixed on the base. Built-in print model preview function to preview the model image before printing and observe the printing progress. They are extremely similar and share most features. However, there are a few differences that may influence your buying decision. The printer features auto-levelling to compensate for any undulations in the print surface. The printer takes no less than 47 readings across the entire print surface to create a digital map of the surface which it then uses to adjust the printing height as it moves around the platform. Should the compensation required be too drastic there are large knobs placed on the underside of the platform in six locations. (Three along each side). This will allow you to manually remove most of the unevenness before the printer then re-runs its levelling procedure to make final adjustments automatically.

The dual synchronized lead screws and dual-motor drive make the Z-axis movement more stable and smooth, avoid printing deviation driven by a single Z-axis lead screw motor, and improve printing accuracy and stability. With STM 32-bit motherboard, the X/Y/Z/E axes are all driven by silent drivers to effectively reduce the printing noise to below 50dB. While the settings are a good start, they are usually not optimal for the filament you are using. There are a few settings that you should calibrate to get the best results from the Neptune 3 Plus. These include the print temperature, retraction, and flow rate. Ultra-Quiet Printing] XYZ axis adopts TMC2225 silent driver and E0 axis of TMC2209 silent driver, which ensures more stable and smooth movement at a whisper-quiet below 50dBA. V-guide roller made of POM for stable and accurate motion, quieter, wear-resistance, and longer life. The Neptune 3 Plus is equipped with a 4.3-inch touch screen for great usability. 8 different languages are supported: Chinese (Simplified), English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, German and Japanese. Removable Capacitive Touchscreen】The 4.3-inch removable magnetic capacitive touch screen can be operated by hand-held or fixed on the base, with a print model preview function to preview the model image during printing, and observe the printing progress, supporting multi-language freely switch.

The Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus ticks all the boxes when it comes to FDM 3D printers.

Resume Printing from Power Failure: Power failures can certainly occur during a printing process! Under such circumstances, printing will stop and not resume until power is restored. ELEGOO Neptune 4 FDM 3D Printer with Up to 500mm/s High-Speed, 121-Point Auto Bed Leveling, 300℃ Dual-Gear Direct Extruder, Printing Size of 225x225x265mm³ /8.85x8.85x10.43 Inches RSG leveling system] The 16-point RSG leveling system with a strain gauge pressure sensor on the print head to record the distance between the nozzle and the hot bed at each point. Once the sensor scans any tiny variations and unevenness, it will automatically compensate each point by adjusting the Z-axis height to ensure the same distance between the print nozzles and the bed (about 0.1-0.2mm). And Neptune 3 comes with a larger build volume of 220x220x280mm than Neptune 2. Auto Bed Leveling + Auxiliary Leveling】Achieve excellent first-layer adhesion and print quality with the 121 (11x11) points auto bed leveling system. Additionally, fine-tune the bed's leveling manually with the hand-twist knobs for optimal alignment and printing conditions. ELEGOO 3D Printer, Neptune 3 Plus FDM 3D Printer with 49-Point Auto Bed Leveling, Dual-Gear Direct Extruder, Ultra-Quiet Printing, Removable Capacitive Screen, Larger Printing Size of 320x320x400 mm / 12.59x12.59x15.74 Inches

With an STM 32-bit silent motherboard, the X/Y/Z/E axes are all driven by high-precision stepper motors to effectively reduce the printing noise under 50 dB. ELEGOO Neptune 4 Pro FDM 3D Printer with Up to 500mm/s Printing Speed, Auto Bed Leveling, Dual-Gear Direct Extruder, 300℃ High-temp Nozzle, Intelligent Segmented Heatbed, 225x225x265mm³ /8.85x8.85x10.43 Inch Printing Size The printer is equipped with a wide, double Y-axis to ensure increased stability of the print platform. The belt tensioner can be easily adjusted using a rotary knob. The axes (X/Y/Z/E) of the Neptune 3 Plus are powered by the STM 32-bit motherboard. Thanks to its low noise it makes printing a pleasure!Crafted in a practical and elegant design, Neptune 3 Plus features a gantry structure. The plastic housing weighs only 14.1 kg. Smart resume printing: the printer will auto-pause when the filament runs out or breaks, and you can resume printing after a power outage. ELEGOO Neptune 4 Plus FDM 3D Printer with Up to 500mm/s Printing Speed, 300℃ High-temp Nozzle, Dual-Gear Direct Extruder, 320x320x385mm³/12.59x12.59x15.15 Inch Printing Size Reliable Extrusion System】The double-gear metal extruder is designed with a spring elasticity adjustment and a special titanium alloy throat pipe for smoother filament feeding and more stable & precise printing, greatly reducing the risk of nozzle clogging.

The Neptune 3 Plus contains all the features required for fine-tuning the printer, including the manual and auto-level menus as well as configuration options for changing your printer's settings as well as acceleration and jerk, making it simple to make adjustments. A coiled cord that connects the LCD to the printer and enables screen removal makes it much simpler to change options and load prints thanks to the magnetic cradle. After calibration, I tested the print quality on different objects. I printed the two vases in Cura Vase Mode and the two articulated objects with enough infill to make them stable enough. Especially with the articulated objects with their many details, you can see the excellent quality. With the direct drive extruder, you can also process flexible filaments like TPU. The Neptune 3 has a Bowden extruder, its successors have fortunately switched to a direct drive extruder. Filament Breakage Detection: If the filament breaks during printing, the printing process will be stopped and will not continue until the error is fixed.Unlike most other 3D printers, the Neptune 3 Plus has six adjustment screws under the print bed, not just four. This is simply due to the size of the print bed and allows for finer tilt adjustment. Features & Design Large Print Volume We then decidedto try something a little more intricate with a few more parts for the final print. Gambody's Klingon Bird of Prey is shown here; it is printed in several pieces, and gears are included to allow the wings to move from the normal to landing position. This print made good use of the build volume because we could fill the bed with parts, and, as with earlier prints, we used the same slicer settings with the exception of a few minor support settings adjustments.
