Elegoo brags about the new “TC4 titanium alloy” throat pipe, but there’s still a chunk of PTFE tube in there, meaning it’s not an all-metal hotend. If you're not familiar with Slicing Software then it's the middle stage which takes your computerised 3D models and 'Slices' it into individual layers, usually 0. Please refer to the warranty policy below, as warranty periods and warranty rules differ according to the models and parts list.

Note: Please do not enter any PO Box address, otherwise your package can’t be dispatched by any express. The video included on the microSD card is helpful – and Elegoo was thoughtful enough to mention the video twice in the printer’s documentation, so that users are aware of it. I personally think that this a great spot for the memory card slot but I prefer the USB port on the side and failing that the rear. The parts list is almost identical to the Neptune 3 Pro with the exception of additional bolts to assemble the vertical braces.

As the machine is shipped with the X axis at the top of the gantry I, without thought or warning from the instructions, passed the wire behind the brace and into the print head.

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. There is evidence of slightly more stringing on the points at the top in comparison to the Neptune 3 Pro though it is certainly no issue. The self-developed mechanism of the direct dual-gear extruder guarantees an almost 3-fold extrusion ratio (3:1) and a stronger extrusion force for more precise prints.With an STM32 motherboard, all axes of ELEGOO Neptune 3 Pro are driven by silent stepper motors for quieter and more precise movement during printing, which reduces the noise as low as 47-48dB. Its simple auto bed leveling, PEI coated flex plate, and excellent direct drive will h Elegoo could be onto a real winner with the Neptune 3 Pro, and they’ve also announced they’re expanding the lineup with the Neptune 3 Plus, a 320x320x400mm version of this printer, as well as the Neptune 3 Max, a truly monstrous 420x420x500mm behemoth. Perhaps Elegoo was listening when we said the old Neptune 3 wasn’t very distinctive, because the new Neptune 3 Pro has become quite the looker. Common tasks such as changing the filament, clearing the print bed, and starting a new print are all very easy thanks to numerous features mentioned earlier in the review.
