Neptune 4 Yea/Nea?
Neptune 4 Yea/Nea?
I'm in the market for my first non-resin printer and the 3 pro seems pretty popular. The 4's are now out and available and I was wondering what the community verdict on them is?
One of the best first printers right now is sovol sv06. It is basically a prusa mk3s but without the customer support and filament sensor. If you want a printer with lots of possible community mods, get yourself an ender 3(/pro/v2/s1/neo whatever) and mod away.
5The sv06 is my only printer and I really like it. Did have to take it apart to lubricate the bearings but that's not too hard
I have had really good prints with PLA, PETG and TPU

I've not been paying attention to the Neptune 4 reviews, but my 3 Pro is awesome and Elegoo have really great customer support
3I have a Mars printer which has been nothing but great

I have the non pro version. It has been great so far. My only annoyances have been the slicer software supplied by Elegoo is an outdated version of Cura and there are no profiles for the printer in any other slicers I've seen. You can recreate the profiles in the up-to-date Cura but it is annoying. There are also no custom nozzles yet and it uses a non standard size so none of the current 3rd party nozzles work.
2@parallax I can vouch for the Mars 3. To some extent it depends on what you are printing but 28mm miniatures are great.
2I just got the n4p and it's been pretty good. I'm still new to this hobby so I'm still tinkering to get perfect prints but all the tools and toys I've printed out have been functional and look good.
1How is the volume on it? I know the 3p can run pretty quite (in terms of printers)
2225*225*265mm it's been able to print everything I've thrown at it. I'm printing a bag clip right now and I rotated it diagonally and it's going at it pretty well.
