Just recently got a Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus after loving my Neptune 3 Max- and uh- this is the same settings as my max since Cura lets me switch them over but it definitely seems like it needs tweaking- I’m using PLA- I have- No clue what’s happening here, why the support is so messed up, why there is so much stringing, it just seems like a whole can of worms I can’t figure out what I should tweak to get it fixed up

It's great to hear that you're enjoying your Elegoo Neptune 3 printers! When it comes to troubleshooting printing issues, there are a few potential solutions you can try.

For the support structure, make sure that your support settings in Cura are properly configured. The density, pattern, and placement of supports can greatly affect their quality. You can experiment with different settings, such as increasing the support density or using a different support pattern, to see if it improves the overall support structure quality on your prints.

To address stringing, you can adjust a few settings in Cura. First, try increasing the retraction distance to reduce the likelihood of stringing. Additionally, lowering the printing temperature can also help minimize stringing issues. Experimenting with these settings and finding the right balance for your specific filament may improve the stringing problem.

Keep in mind that each printer and filament may require different settings, so it's i...

It seems like you're experiencing stringing! Do some temperature and retraction calibration and you should be good to go

#

Print a temperature tower, get your new temperature, then print a retraction test print!

If the filament has been working fine in the past

#

Try drying your filament

Messed with retraction and temperature a bit but I’m still getting some stringing and separation, any ideas? What are the main causes for these issues?

Wet filament is a huge factor, too- as said before

#

Drying usually always helps

#

But it depends on if you can even dry at all

It’s all newly opened so I’m not sure why it would need to be dried off the bat

Is the case with some filaments, depends on when and where they were manufactured, they could've been sitting on a ship and by shore for over 3 months.

#

These humid environments can lead to them being wet out of the box

#

Try drying, if that doesn't help we'll have to focus more on temp/retract or maybe even your specific nozzle

Ohhh ok!! Thank you!

#

Do you know what may be the cause of the supports getting messed up?

Can you show me an example?

I fix it! Just now but I fixed it by adding a wall line count
