Thank you!

When using BL5K, you are trying to get all of the numbers to be roughly the same. However, on a fixed bed printer, like the Neptune 4 Max, you can't (directly) change the center location, so use that as the reference you compare all of the other points against. Also, I recommend using Probe All and making a lot of little adjustments, as opposed to trying to get one point perfect before moving to the next.

​@@SandMMakersThank you very much for your response and help with this. It is greatly appreciated. If I understand you correctly. Lets say my nozzle is .110 off the center of the build plate. That should be the number (.110) I aim for. Not the exact ".00". Then set the Z offset to desired distance? Thank you for your suggestions and help.

Glad you found it.

Thank you!

Thank you for watching our videos! To prevent viewer confusion, I try to only make one change per video.

In descending order of importance: Y. X, Z, extra diagonal braces, belted-Z. The last one is really more for the fun of modding than anything else.

Thank you!

Glad I could help

If you are getting readings that vary by 0.15mm, then you either have a mechanical problem or your probe is not working correctly. However, please note that the probe has an inherent error bounds of about +/- 0.025mm. This is a property of the probe and is out of the control of BL5K.

I'm also getting this error. What could be the mechanical issue?

Thank you for watching our videos! I'm not affiliated with TBStron3D, so I didn't design the kit, nor do I sell it. I just made the installation videos to help out anyone that needs them.

The current version of the kit uses a new, MUCH easier mounting bracket. This bracket came out after I made my Neptune 4 Max videos, but you can see them in my Sovol SV07 Plus Y-axis video. That portion of the install is almost identical across both printers.

Thank you for watching our videos! I needed to take a break for a while, but I'm now back and working on a number of new videos.

@@SandMMakers Awesome I will keep checking in 😁☺☺I am also looking into the idea of adding an extra stepper drive+motor for the Y-Axis there is a 5th driver slot on the motherboard could help prevent skipped steps for heavier prints I might be going a little to far but I would like to print double the Height, and already figured out how to do it but the weight of those prints well I expect issues!!! unless I can add an extra stepper motor of cores..

I'm actually planning on creating a video about adding a fifth stepper driver to enable dual independent-Z. With that mod, we can have automatic gantry squaring or at least MUCH easier gantry squaring. I have a list of about 4-6 videos to get through before that one, though.

Thank you for watching our videos. Setting up WiFi on your printer is going to be printer model specific. I can really only suggest consulting the printer's user guide.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I have not been contacted by any printer manufacturers regarding bundling BL5K with printers.

Thank you for trying BL5K! The software moves the probe, not the nozzle, to the intended probe location.

@SandMMakers should the probe be in the same location reference in the software as what the machine indicates? I guess what I am saying is, when I probe the locations with the software, they are different than probing using the printer.

@@SandMMakers so I was comparing probe locations. Ex: Bed Leveler for probe 3 is at 201.5, 191.5, while klipper is showing probe at 225.750, 171.050. Is this supposed to be the case?

BL5K reports the location probed while Klipper reports the location of the nozzle. Since the probe, not the nozzle , is used for probing, the numbers/coordinates will not be the same.

Thank you for watching our videos! Please check the video list in the channel. Links to videos don't really work well in the comments.

@@SandMMakers dont need a link just the number of the video 1,2,3,4?

You can change the end points of an axis in the printer.cfg file. However, the Y-axis linear rail kit should not alter the X-axis or the Y-axis. Are you sure the base plate was reinstalled correctly?

Thank you for watching our videos! For bed leveling, please see our Bed Leveler 5000 videos.

Thank you for watching our videos! I'm not affiliated with TBStron3D. I'm just a UA-cam content creator that documented how I installed the kits on my own printers.

@SandMMakers oh that makes sense. TbStrong3d linked directly to your videos from their website.

​@@SandMMakers TBStron3D has been linking to your install videos instead of writing install guides. This is where the problem is.

Sorry to hear about your printer damage, but thank you for watching our videos! I'm actually working on designing a better, 3d printed, mount for the badge clip. Not sure the release timeline, though.

Thank you for watching our videos! Our newer videos do not contain background music.

Thank you for watching our videos! Our newer videos do not contain background music.

Thank you for watching our videos! I upload STEP files because they are a higher quality format that better allows for remixing. Are you using a slicer that doesn't directly support them?

Thank you for watching our videos! I can only assume POM wheels were chosen for cost reasons. Linear rails (especially, higher quality ones) are significantly more expensive than POM wheels and Elegoo focuses on the less expensive portion of the hobbyist 3d printer market.

Thank you for watching our videos! Did you update your z-offset?

Thank you.

Thank you for watching our videos. I'm not sure if TBStron3D will be releasing more modifications for the Sovol product line, but I do have videos applicable to a wider range of printers, including my Bed Leveler 5000 videos.

Thank you for watching our videos! In my opinion, the mod priority is (in decreasing order) Y, X, Z, additional diagonal brace, belted-Z. I'd really only recommend the belted-Z if you are experiencing bent Z rod problems or you just enjoy modding printers. X and Y provide the most improvement to your printer.

The most important mods are the Y and X axes. Those are the two that have the greatest chance of letting you print faster. The Z-axis mod is really a quality of life mod so you don't need to deal with POM wheels. The belted-Z mod is really only for if you are experiencing bent lead-screw issues or just enjoy modding your printer. I don't recommend the belted-Z for most people that just want to print stuff quickly.

Thank you for watching our videos! While I haven't used the printer a lot since installing the belted-Z mod, I can confidently say the X, Y, and Z mods are definitely worth it, with Y and then X being the most important.

Ok, I will answer myself. If you want to use physical endstops, you must remove XDIAG and YDIAG jumper at first. Then watch for "diag_pin" in printer.cfg (tmc2209 stepper_x and stepper_y section) and comment them both... Everything else presented in this video is correct. I also recommend bend X-endstop metal plate (90° angle, approx. in half of its length), so you move x home position little bit further from switch itself. It might save your printhead cable from colliding with left frame - you can notice it at time 28:56

Thank you for watching our videos and for looking into this! I haven't encountered this problem before and it is the first time I'm hearing of it. I wonder if it is related to OpenNeptune or maybe a design change in the Neptune 4 series printers.

Thank you for watching our videos! While I prefer EP1, any NLGI 1 or 2 grease without additives should work.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching our videos! I had to take a break from 3d printing for a short while, so I have not had the time to extensively use that printer since making the video.

Thank you for trying BL5K! If you bed a bed with a fixed center, aim for all points to be the same as the center. If your printer's bed doesn't have a fixed center, then try to get all points the same.

Yes, I to would like to get the Z rail mod kit. Just ordered the X and Y rail kit. Mine are suppose to be her middle of January 2025.

Since I'm not affiliated with TBStron3D, I'm not familiar with their plans to release new products.

Thank you for watching our videos! When dealing with POM wheels, you generally need to make a lot of little adjustments to get everything square and tight. You can't just tighten one POM wheel and expect everything to become square. Also, POM wheels can easily become damaged or deformed (especially if tightened down too much). Sometimes, loosening the POM wheel and waiting overnight can cause the deformation to go away.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Just received my x and y rails yesterday and they are indeed heat shrink wrapped. After reading your comment about this I unwrapped the ends first and put some cable ties on to stop the carriage slipping off the ends. Thanks for the info on this.

Thank you for watching our videos! I already released an install video for the belted-Z mod.

Thank you!

What model printer are you attempting to use with BL5K?

Thank you for watching our videos! While the Neptune 3 Pro doesn't come with adjustment wheels, there is a mod to add them. Basically, you would remove the bed, drill out the screw holes, replace the existing screws with longer screws/knobs/springs, and then reinstall the bed. Especially since this is a permanent mod, I don't recommend performing it without giving it significant thought and planning first. The mod is also really not needed for the vast majority of Neptune 3 Pro owners.

If you have a Marlin printer, use USB. If you have a Klipper printer, the printer just needs to be connected to your home network and have an IP address.

Please create an issue on Github and I will help resolve this issue.
