- Elegoo Neptune 3 PLUS is the biggest 3D printer I tested so far. It has built volume of 320x320x400 mm. But it is only the middle printer from this series. It is equipped with all important things, like flexible PEI, auto leveling sensor, filament sensor, dual Z axis, direct drive extruder, great touch screen etc.

Just found your channel searching for a thorough review for the EN3Plus. Mine arrives tomorrow and this video has made me more confident in my choice of printers. Thank you for the great review, Subscribed
well you've definitely solidified my choice in getting this Neptune 3 Plus, should be delivered in a couple days, as I wanted a larger format printer but didn't want to compromise on the features that came with it and the price is a bit hard to beat with all the features. As for the 6 leveling springs/knobs, could probably just get 6 spacers to go in place just like there was on the original Neptune 3 printer and replace the knobs with nuts with a little Loctite. but for the time being I have 8 extra yellow springs from my ender 3 v2's after I swapped out to the silicone spacers on those. excited to print out some bigger things, cheers!
Bed adjustment spring knobs allow for proper bed leveling when the bed is not perfectly flat. Cumbersome? Yes. Useful? Extremely!
"Ok Elegoo, you won!" LOL Thanks for another practical review.
Good review.
excellent video - thank you.
Another great video
To the point.
If you install the WiFi module for the mks in CURA, then you can see a picture of the model in the display.
Thanks for sharing your expirence with all of us 👍 😀
Thx for the info. I tried, but don't work. Can you point to some instructions?
Nice video. You look small behind that huge printer!
I am relatively new to 3D printing, whatis the step by step method to set up the build plate to be center to the extruded?
Greetings My Tech Fun - sir - have you had trouble with the filament detection sensor not pausing the printer if filament runs out? Thank you for your channel!
Hi Igor! It was off-center because the actual size of the bed is 330x330 👍 I would remove those lines you added, instead adjust the size of the bed from 320 to 330 and enjoy the full size of the Bed, centered, off course.
0,0 is still outside. The purge line is beside the bed (1.5mm X). You can see it shortly when I started to print the cube. 330x330 can be used with 0mm margin but the origin still has to be moved. Hopefully they will fix this in future firmware, then I'll delete those two lines.
Has this been fixed yet in a recent firmware?
Will you upgrade it to a metal hotend?
Very cool video! Thanks a lot for this! What version of Ultimaker Cura is that please? I have the Neptune 3 Pro but I can't find it in the latest Ultimaker Cura 5.2.1 under Elegoo.
By default it is not there. You have to download profiles and copy them into cura folders: www.reddit.com/r/ElegooNeptune3/comments/ykh9ri/psa_official_cura_52_profiles_on_github_neptune_3/
Ps I ordered this printer, according to UPS, should arrive this Friday:)
what is your Printables link? i would like to follow you on there.
can't wait to print the rolling dice you designed.
love watching your reviews, please keep them coming.

One question comes in mine when I see big format bed slingers, how mach weight can the bed handle before is stars skipping steps?
I just tried with 0.5kg bottle of water (tape glued), works OK, but yes, good question especially with MAX version.
@@MyTechFun it's a huge bed slinger, I was thinking in the 1 - 2 kilo direction. Its totally realistic to have such a heavy project on the size of a bed
How big and heavy is the box? I ask incase i need to ship it to another place? Thanks
I don't have the box any more. Weight of packaging should be on website. Maybe 20-30 kg(?)
Hi! Did you test the creality cr-10 v3? Is Neptune better choice?
I don't have CR-10 V2 but Neptun is a good choice anyway. It needs more time for adjusting 6 leveling knobs, but after that it prints great.
@@MyTechFun Thank you!
Nagyon klassz. Probaltal mar olyan gepet ami 2 vagy 3 színű tekercset tud kezelni?
Lotmaxx shark v2 és Sovol SV04. És épp dobozban vár a reviewra Bambulab P1P+AMS
Product sold out. I'm not surprised, with that price. I'm expecting next batch to cost more.
they're avail on amazon still btw, that's where I got mine
8:40 unscrew the filiment holder, slide your roll on from screw/non flange side.. re screw up....
Funny, at that moment I forgot about the back entrance :-) yes, useful tip. Thx.
Why can't you just put a lock nut on bed leveling screws and never need to adjust?
The springs wont be 100% the same over time so you would need to adjust again
"easier maintenancing"
The -ing variant of 'maintenance' doesn't exist in English.
"Easier to maintain / easier to service / easier servicing." 🙂
The support struts (rods): I'm guessing this is why most large printers are Core X-Y; on large gantry printers you need the supports to provide additional structural rigidity.
...
Yes, linear rods would make more sense on a machine of this size. Presumably their absence is a cost saving measure.
...
Needs LED's on the underside of the print head. Or better yet, mount the print head backwards. 🙂 Print looks good though, especially given the size of the machine.
...
"Correct informations" -> "Correct information". 🙂 "Information" is both singular and plural.
...
That TPU print was excellent, suggests a well-tuned profile.
...
Might also be an idea to replace the white PTFE tube with the genuine Capricorn equivalent though. It should then be able to handle ~260°C without significant degredation.
Oh, LoC, Igor will most likely make English mistakes to the end of his life - I live in Spain for 12 years already and I still make silly mistakes in Spanish very often…
@@GeekDetour When I try to speak another language I try to be as accurate in both prononciation and syntax / grammar as possible. And I've found that many non-native English speakers are the same way.
But if he's lazy then it doesn't really matter. 🙂
@@loc4725 nothing to do with "lazy" but it is good to point out those things you mentioned...it is a good way to learn.
@@themountain59 When I make mistakes pronouncing or using words I very much prefer it if the native speakers point it out. You won't learn if you don't know you're doing it wrong!
Oh, and I started Hungarian channel too, but that also is not my native language :-)
First. Maybe it will remplace my ender 3 max
