Printing Performance
While the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus boasts an impressive list of features, its printing performance is where it truly shines.
Dual-Gear Direct Extruder
Even with challenging filaments like TPU, the dual-gear direct extruder ensures a smooth and stable printing experience. The improved grip on the filament and strong pushing force reduce the risk of nozzle blockage and under extrusion, resulting in high-quality prints.
Larger Print Volume
To accommodate larger models or batch printing, the Neptune 3 Plus offers a generous build volume of 320x320x400 mm /12.59 x 12.59 x 15.74 in. This means you can print larger models or multiple smaller ones simultaneously, increasing your overall productivity.
Printing with the Neptune 3 Plus, you’ll appreciate the extra space to freely arrange your prints. Whether you’re working on a complex project or producing multiple parts, the larger print volume gives you the flexibility to tackle a wide range of projects with ease.
Bed Leveling and Print Quality
You’ll be impressed with the Neptune Printer’s ability to deliver high-quality prints, thanks to its advanced bed leveling system and print platform.
Auto Bed Leveling
One of the standout features of the Neptune Printer is its auto bed leveling system, which uses a non-contact high precision sensor to collect deviation data at 49 points on the hotbed. This ensures that the printing bed is perfectly level, resulting in a flawless first layer print.
PEI Magnetic Platform
To ensure excellent print adhesion and easy removal, the Neptune Printer features a PEI magnetic platform with a special coating and spring steel sheet. This allows you to simply bend the print steel plate to release or pop off your prints.
Magnetic attraction is strong, and the PEI coating provides excellent adhesion for your prints. The spring steel sheet also helps to prevent warping, making it easier to remove your prints without damaging them. This platform, combined with the 420W high-power hotbed, ensures that your prints adhere well and release easily, making the printing process more efficient and enjoyable.
Z-Axis Movement and Stability
For a 3D printer to produce high-quality prints, it’s vital to have a stable and smooth Z-axis movement. The ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus has some impressive features that ensure just that.
Z-axis Dual Lead Screw
Even with a single lead screw, the Neptune 3 Plus’s Z-axis movement would be impressive. But, with the dual lead screw design, you get an added layer of stability and smoothness. This means you can print with confidence, knowing that your model will turn out accurate and precise.
Dual-Motor Drive and Silent Drivers
Movement along the Z-axis is further enhanced by the dual-motor drive, which ensures that the lead screws move in perfect sync. This eliminates any potential wobble or deviation, resulting in a more stable printing process.
Plus, the silent drivers used in the Neptune 3 Plus reduce the printing noise to below 50dB, making it an ideal choice for those who want to print in a quiet environment. This is especially useful if you plan to use your printer in a home office or shared space. With the silent drivers, you can focus on your work without being distracted by the printer’s noise.
User Interface and Convenience
Not only does the Neptune 3 Plus boast impressive printing capabilities, but it also prioritizes user convenience and ease of use.
Removable Capacitive Touchscreen
Capacitive touchscreens have become the norm in modern electronics, and the Neptune 3 Plus is no exception. The 4.3-inch removable capacitive touchscreen is responsive and easy to navigate, allowing you to control your printer with ease.
Print Model Preview Function
If you’ve ever wondered how your print is progressing without physically checking on it, the Neptune 3 Plus has got you covered. The built-in print model preview function allows you to preview the model image during printing, giving you a sense of satisfaction and control over your print job.
Removable and handheld, the touchscreen also enables you to observe the printing progress by previewing the real-time comparison image of the printed model. This feature is particularly useful for monitoring complex prints or when you’re away from the printer, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your printing process.
FAQ
Q: What makes the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus’s extruder system stand out?
A: The ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus features a dual-gear direct extruder, which provides a better grip on the filament and strong pushing force for smoother filament feeding and more stable & accurate printing. This design greatly reduces the risk of nozzle blockage and under-extrusion, making it suitable for printing with a wide range of materials, including PLA, ABS, PETG, and even flexible filaments like TPU.
Q: What is the print volume of the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus, and how does it benefit users?
A: The ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus has a larger-than-average build volume of 320x320x400 mm (12.59 x 12.59 x 15.74 in), providing users with enough space to freely arrange their prints, print larger models, or carry out batch printing with high efficiency. This larger print volume increases productivity and flexibility, making it ideal for users who need to print multiple objects or large models.
Q: How does the auto bed leveling system on the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus work?
A: The ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus adopts a non-contact high-precision sensor to collect deviation data at 49 (7×7) points of the hotbed. The printer then automatically adjusts the Z-axis height to compensate for any irregularities and unevenness of the printing bed. Additionally, hand-twisting knobs underneath the hotbed allow for fine-tuning the print bed with a single twist, ensuring a perfect first layer print.
Q: What are the benefits of the PEI magnetic platform on the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus?
A: The PEI magnetic platform on the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus features a special coating and spring steel sheet for good adhesion and anti-warping. This allows for easy removal of printed objects by gently bending the print steel plate to release or pop off the prints. The 420W high-power hotbed can quickly heat up to 100°C, ensuring efficient printing.
Q: What features contribute to the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus’s quiet and smooth operation?
A: The ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus features an STM 32-bit motherboard, which drives the X/Y/Z/E axes with silent drivers. This design effectively reduces the printing noise to below 50dB. Additionally, the dual synchronized lead screws and dual-motor drive make the Z-axis movement more stable and smooth, avoiding printing deviation driven by a single Z-axis lead screw motor and improving printing accuracy and stability.
