      @HutAb44 the fix pack is when you have an error but follow my steps to be extra safe: remove all items from memory card add the fix pack then turn on printer with memory card in printer after 10 minutes turn off printer and put memory card back in computer then remove the fix pack add the update pack to it and plug back into printer after update is done you need to put the UI update on a Sd memory card and unscrew the back of the touch pad and put the card into it it'll load by itself when you turn printer on then after everything completes itself turn printer off remove the card and put everything back together

    Received the Neptune 4 Max yesterday and got around to setting it up today... first order of business was to go ahead and update the firmware.
    If you follow the guide properly, you should have no issues. I successfully updated the firmware from v1.2.2.64 to 1.2.2.65 and then followed it up with v1.2.3.1 on mainboard and 1.2.14 on the screen. This isn't difficult, just be mindful of each step.
    Good luck and happy printing!

    • @Phirebirdphoenix
      @Phirebirdphoenix 3 місяці тому +1

      It seems to be a common issue that the recent update renders the machine inoperable after following the update instructions. Elegoo have sent people replacement EMMCs which they then have to replace. That's a lot of making up for manufacturing and/or software errors. When Crowdstrike pushed an update that bricked people's computers, we didn't blame the administrators. We blamed the people who pushed the faulty update. The issue isn't difficulty level, but thanks for the advice.

    Hey maybe next time just don't fuck it so bad that you need to make your customer jump through this bullshit for a relatively simple update that shouldn't have need to be done in the first place. This is such a massive pain in the ass and nothing I do is making this update work. I sincerely want my money back and will not be buying nor recommending elegoo to anyone in the future.

      It’s a little tedious but after you do it once, it’s not that bad. They should have made it so you can update it over wifi as both the 4Plus and 4Max have WiFi. Elegoo missed the ball on this as they did by using their own version of Klipper. Don’t know why they did this.

    Must say so far I’m not very happy with this product. You really shouldn’t have to do this to a new device.

    It’s OK, but I don’t recommend getting it. I ordered a new one off Amazon there wasn’t even a scraper. There was nothing loaded on the USB. I was missing a bunch of tools and stuff.

      Did you get the red Sandisk USB drive? Did you get a package labeled "Giveaway"? The sd card is in that black USB drive.
