Neptune 4 Plus Replacement (sorry if this doesn't fit the forum guidlines)

[grave herald]

I have an Elegoos Neptune 4 Plus. I've had more problems than successes, probably gonna sell it. What should I buy that will give me a similar build size while staying in the around $400-$250 range?

Did you update the firmware? The first 2 versions were out right broken

My issue rn is that I've been trying to print to print for the last 3 days. But every time I think the bed is properly leveled or the z-offset is at the right height, something happens where the filament just refuses to stick to the bed. And yes I clean the bed after every print

[brave shore]

Hmm i mean there are quite a few reasons why that happens. Have you tried applying glue or preheating everything

A absolut classic would be that abl is turned off in the startscript of your slicer

Abl?

Auto bed level

[grave herald]

That's what I use as a manual leveler. I got most of the stuff I do from this video https://youtu.be/C5ZZnfse4LI?si=QdUv7o8kbOca6a38

[brave shore]

Manual leveling is still a important part. Abl is more or less just the mirror finish 🙂

Can you post a gcode you used? I can tell you if it has the issue

Also can you take a image of your motormounts and the z leadscrew? I noticed a lot of companies have copied the bs setup thr ender 3 s1 had where the basicly fixed the leadscrews so tight it couldnt flex a bit and mesed everything up

Sorry for the late response, needed to take a break from this thing. Here's some photos

can't upload the file, says its too big

[brave shore]
