About this deal

Though the printer has come from the factory with its belts pre-tensioned there are easily accessible knobs that allow you to adjust the tension if needed. The power switch and kettle lead connections are mounted on the right hand side towards the rear of the machine.

The XY axis adopts the belt tension adjustment device with a hand-tightening nut to conveniently and easily adjust the belt tightness. On earlier version the PSU fan seemed to run constantly, however on the model I'm testing the PSU fan reduces in volume as its work load decreases. The surface on the plate has a slightly textured finish which helps hide the printed lines on the first layer whilst encouraging adhesion when you need it. The touch screen base screws into the side, but one of the screws is in such an awkward spot we couldn’t get the Allen wrench in there, so we left it off. PEI magnetic platform with special coating and spring steel sheet for good adhesion and anti-warping, just gently bend the print steel plate to release or pop off the prints.In 2022, the Neptune 3 series of FDM printers has added three new partners, Neptune 3 Pro, Neptune 3 Plus, and Neptune 3 Max, they are very similar in name and shape, to help friends who are interested in them comprehensively To distinguish and understand, we have sorted out the following information, hoping to help. I thought they would be gimmicky - when in fact I'm finding them very useful for illuminating the machine whilst preparing and actually printing the models. Do this by placing a piece of ordinary paper under the nozzle and lowering or raising it with the buttons on the touch screen until the nozzle just scrapes the paper. The 4-wheel V-guide rail pulley is made of POM with more stable movement, low noise, wear resistance, and longer service life. It is mildly frustrating when the size of your build plate limits your options for designing and printing items.

On this Pro integration its a case of passing the filament effortlessly though the detector at the top of the gantry, pressing the comfortable lever on the top of the print head before inserting the filament a few cm's and then releasing. The other neat addition to the Neptune 3 Pro is the LED light bar at the top of the X-axis frame piece; At the same time, this is not always the most forgiving light (straight-down lighting is known to show print defects that are not otherwise visible), it does shine a light on the prints which are very nice to see and something I do miss on other printers that do not have it. Another thing I personally dislike about the Neptune 3 Pro is the screen, whilst yes it is an objectively nice screen; the 4.

The main drawback of this feature is that it only work when at least 10mm of the print has already been completed - I assume this helps ensure the print it continues with is unlikely to have warped whilst cooling. The rate of laser power drop is related to the frequency of use, working hours, and working environment. PEI magnetic platform with a special coating and spring steel sheet for strong adhesion and anti-warping, so you can easily remove or eject the print models by slightly bending the print steel sheet. It is not possible for us to draw any conclusions about you, and any data collected as a result will never be passed on to third parties.

Once the hotend is warmed past 190 degrees, you can insert the filament into the top of the extruder and let the wheels pull the filament through. Each one of these layers is then prepared as a series of paths for the printer to follow before it raises its print head for the next layer. However, this seems to have resulted in the need for a fan in the base which continuously moves air through the machine even when the nozzle and bed are not preheated resulting in a continues base level of 'noise' whenever the printer is switched on. Naturally it would feature refinements and improvements across the board, and unsurprisingly the 'Pro' designation highlights additional features to improve reliability, quality and usability. Having used the same sensor setup on the Neptune 3 Pro for a little while I now prefer this for several reasons; it reduces complexity of the print head, provides the system with earlier warning of filament run-out, and holds the filament strand whilst unloading/loading the print head preventing it from quickly knotting your spool of nicely pre-wound filament if you inadvertently let the end of the spool go.

This makes detaching a print super easy and quick, just wait for it to cool then bend the plate slightly - your print will pop right off. Smart resume printing: the printer will auto-pause when the filament runs out or breaks, and you can resume printing after a power outage.
