This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

The Neptune 4 series printers offer remarkable print quality, fast speeds, and a range of user-friendly features at a competitive price point. However, they are not without their challenges. Initial setup and ongoing maintenance require a level of technical proficiency and patience, as users must navigate through various checklists and adjustments to achieve flawless prints. While the printer's performance and build size are praised, issues with bed leveling, noise levels, and occasionally problematic firmware updates have been noted. Overall, the Neptune 4 series excels in its print capabilities but demands a commitment to upkeep and troubleshooting.

Pros

  • 🖨️ Excellent print quality and huge build size.
  • 🔕 Operates quietly with minimal layer shifting.
  • ⚡ Fast printing speeds.
  • 💾 Beneficial features like Klipper firmware and interface.
  • 💰 Great value for the price.

Cons

  • ❗ High initial setup and maintenance effort required.
  • 🔧 Manual bed leveling process can be tedious and needs frequent recalibration.
  • 🔊 Noticeably loud operation, particularly due to the cooling fan.
  • 🛠 Some reliability issues reported with firmware updates and hardware performance over time.

Should I Buy It?

If you're technically inclined, patient with setup and maintenance, and in search of high print quality at a reasonable cost, the Neptune 4 could be a fantastic choice.

    • Quality prints at high speed
Size: Neptune 4
this is the first Commercial FDM printer I I have purchased. My other three I built myself. I’ve been into 3-D printing for a while now and I am very impressed with this machine. It basically comes in two pieces that you screw together. Pay attention to where your wires are. The connectors are pretty straightforward. Had it up and running in one hour printing 300 mm/s For fun. Be sure to use high-speed PLA plus when going fast can’t tell the difference in quality when printing at 1/5 the speed. Pretty amazing, Have had zero problems after five prints And counting. Printing with a layer height of .16 mm on the finish is impressive to say the least. It was printing so fast I thought it was definitely going to skip steps, But it just kept on Truckin. Can’t beat it for the price if you need an FDM grab one of these. It has everything you need, Auto bed level, Removable print bed, Direct drive extruder, Print cooling fan bed cooling fan, Ability to adjust settings while printing. I can only find one drawback, and that is the fan noise can be quite loud, especially when using the larger set of fans. But you only need that when you are printing super fast and need that layer to cool to be ready for the next. ... show more

    • Best large format printer at it's price point, but not for beginners...
First thing's first - the print quality and build size of this printer is excellent. There is no layer shifting, the printer is quiet, the speed is unbelievable, and the huge build plate makes it a breeze to print that cosplay helmet you've always wanted, or every part of that Thingverse toy in one shot. BUT... the journey to get to that quality is not for parents looking to get their kids into 3D printing for the first time, or anyone who isn't comfortable getting hands-on. If you want that, get an Ender or equivalent. This printer does not "just work" out of the box. Not even close. There's a pre-flight checklist that needs to be done before attempting a first print, then another checklist to do before subsequent prints. There may be a few more things to check, but here are the items I checked prior to my first print (which was flawless only AFTER the checklist). I'm making a review and not a guide, and there are dozens of videos and forums that will step you through the problems/fixes. Nothing below is complicated to fix, but they must be addressed prior to printing: 1. Are the screws on the z-arm tight? Nope. Mine weren't even finger tight. 2. Is the z-arm level? Nope. My left side was 1mm off. It might seem like nothing, but 1mm is 10 layer lines - a disparity like that is huge. Yes, the auto leveling somewhat compensates, but why force the printer to adjust for something so easily remedied? 3. Are the wheels on left and right of the z-arm properly tensioned? Mine were just OK, but some adjustment was still needed. 4. Is the voltage set to 110v if you're in the USA? Almost certainly not. You'll know if yours are incorrect because the bed LEDs will look like a light show at a rave as soon as the bed heater turns on. 5. Is the bed loose? Mine wasn't, but many are. Simple fix (sort of) 6. Is the bed level? Not from the factory it's not. Not even close. Set your z-axis adjustment, then go into the manual setting and set the 6 bed level screws... TWICE. Then check the z-axis one more time and you're good. 7. Is the bed clean? Just wipe the bed down with IPA and you're fine. The community has opinions on this - just use the IPA. No need to wash the damn thing in the sink every time. 8. There is test filament in the nozzle - be aware and run decent amount of your new filament through the extruder before starting your first print. 9. DO heat the bed up a print temp for a minimum of 20-30 minutes before printing. The large bed needs time to thermally adjust/swell before it's level across the entire surface. 10. Ditch that dated Cura slicer and upgrade to Orca. The Neptune 4 Plus profile is almost dead-on. 11. I would HIGHLY recommend turning down the jerk/acceleration on this printer. I set mine to half of the recommended settings. Yes, you'll lose some speed, but at least you won't have the print head flying around the bed, knocking off supports and delicate parts from your print. This printer can be a bit TOO fast at times, and there is often a direct (negative) correlation between speed and quality. Rookies see a peak 500 mm/sec speed and think this will be their new norm, but it's not. That kind of speed is limited to VERY specific applications/filaments. On a related note, cheap PLA can be printed at 200 mm/sec, but it's not ideal. Get PLA designed for higher speeds if you want to do it right. 12. Lastly, if you're printing anything more exotic than vanilla PLA, consider leaving that giant z-axis fan OFF. Yes, your layers need a few seconds to cool, but that fan will cause odd shrinking and adhesion issues if you're not careful. Don't think you need to use it simply because it's there. Pre-flight checklist is done! Your first print is amazing! BUT your second print is a mess. What happened? 1. Again - preheat the bed EVERY time you start printing a new batch, 20-30 minutes minimum. 2. I would highly recommend re-leveling the bed prior to each print session. If nothing else, check your initial z-axis clearance, then auto-level the bed, then print. Yes, it's a hassle. But it's the price you pay for such a large print surface. That 10 minutes of work will stop your print nozzle from dragging across printed areas, tearing off supports, or providing weak layer adhesion. Buy this printer. But understand that a few hours will go into the assembly and setup. Then a little time needs to be spent prior to each print. Follow those rules and you'll be extremely happy with this printer. ... show more

    • Truly a great value
Size: Neptune 4
I am replacing and ender 3 with this neptune 4 & I must say, it really is a nice bit of kit for the price. Print speeds are FAST. So far I've been able to get decent quality prints even when running the infill @ 250mm/s & the outside wall @ 100mm/s. It seems to handle first layer speeds of 100mm/s as well. Lastely the klipper firmware & interface is a really nice feature to have. I don't think I can go back. Now it doesn't have all the bells, for example internet is ethernet not wifi but really my expectations were exceeded at the price point Update: The printer no longer seems to boot correctly saying it can't connect and when it does boot it no longer seems to read any files from SD card or USB. Not really sure what to think at this point but now it's Essentially a boat anchor. Will update if the situation changes. Update: elegoo support quickly solved the issue and sent new firmware update with clear instructions. The printer is working great again. UPDATE AGAIN.... The machine lost zero and crashed hard, at first i thought maybe this was my mistake but it was quickly followed by the printer firmware failing and refusing to connect thus making this again a boat anchor. at this point i have more than 20hrs of my time trying to make this pile of crap work. Really its a shame as it seems like it would have been a great printer minus these glaring problems. ... show more
