ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus FDM 3D Printer with Larger Build Volume of 320x320x400mm³

Dual-Gear Direct Extruder
The new dual-gear direct extruder with a better grip on the filament and strong pushing force for smoother filament feeding and more stable & accurate printing, which greatly reduces the risk of nozzle blockage and under extrusion, and printing well with PLA, ABS, PETG and even flexible filaments like TPU.

Larger Print Volume
The larger-than-average build volume of 320x320x400mm/12.59 x 12.59 x 15.74 inches gives you enough space to freely arrange your prints, print larger models, or carry out batch printing with high efficiency.

Auto Bed Leveling
ELEGOO Neptune 3 Plus adopts a non-contact high precision sensor to collect the deviation data at 49 (7x7) points of the hotbed, and then automatically adjust the Z-axis height to compensate for any irregularities and unevenness of the printing bed. There are also hand-twisting knobs underneath the hotbed to fine-turn the print bed with a single twist, thus ensuring a perfect first layer print.

PEI Magnetic Platform
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. The 420W high-power hotbed can quickly heat up to 100°C.

Z-axis Dual Lead Screw
The dual synchronized lead screws and dual-motor drive make the Z-axis movement more stable and smooth, avoid printing deviation driven by a single Z-axis lead screw motor, and improve printing accuracy and stability. With STM 32-bit motherboard, the X/Y/Z/E axes are all driven by silent drivers to effectively reduce the printing noise to below 50dB.

Removable Capacitive Touchscreen
The 4.3-inch removable capacitive touch screen can be operated by hand-held or fixed on the base. Built-in print model preview function to preview the model image before printing, and observe the printing progress by previewing the real-time comparison image of the printed model.

This is hands down the most solid video on this printer and program. At first I was like Wtf, but this hobby is kind of hard to get into. I’ve watched just about every video you can find on the software and printer and no one was more detailed than this. Props bruv

Im a senior and your explanation was top notch. I will be referring back to it when my machine arrives! Hey I’m excited! Ya i need to get out more !

To level anything, only use 3 points, 2 on the back, 1 on the front. Or opposite sides. In a triangle. Level the 2 first, then the one opposite to match the two. Once it's level in a case like this, just snug up the rest to support it level. Any other way will take much longer.

Just got my N3Pro yesterday and for a beginner, it's an awesome printer. Looking forward to this Plus.
Great video!

@ 12:10: the wire should be parallel to the arm for the spool to prevent cable kink. This will also center the spool and weight of the upper gantry.

Great video. I'm new to fdm printing and I just got the Plus. I've almost finished the test filament that comes with the printer, and I wanted to know how to unload the filament and put in a new one. On some videos I've seen, on different printers, they do it manually, extruding some filament and then pulling it out quickly. Do I have to do it with the Plus too or can I use the function you show at 34:10? Thank you

This is a solid detailed review, amazing work and thank you!

The draw back of not having a storage bin is a reason to print a cool storage bin:)

[damionbooth]

Thank you so much for this video! This is by far the best video I've seen for new users.

They just got this back in stock so I decided to order this one over an ender, anycubic, and prusa. Prusa just seems outdated even if it does work well. Can’t wait to use it!!

[jvacarpyadventures]

Great review and setup.. Answered a load of questions for me as got mine arriving soon. Thanks.

I just ordered this plus sized printer last night, can’t wait to set it up and give it a go, great set-up/review video, liked and subbed, thanks

[FarhadKazombie]

Great review! I'm expecting mine on Monday. Thanks for the insights.

[goatelope]

Super helpful thank you! Just got mine today, cant wait to get it up and running

[efreeteater]

The best setup video! I had a lot of trouble with Elegoo's own, but this was sp helpful

[MiljanBojovic]

Did you seriously tell us to watch the ELEGOO assembly video after you've shown how to do it in a precise way? :D
That red rocket is cool and smooth I love it!

[paizonryker]

One of the best setup videos. Thank you.

I had to return my 3pro today . It kept having issues and over the weekend the screen locked up again and this time I couldn't get it to unlock no mater what I did . Unfortunately they didnt have anymore for an exchange so I had to accept a refund instead . When it printed the prints were nice in my opinion, but I dont know enough to get the machine to respond and get the touch pad working again . I like the look of this printer and when I try again I think I my upgrade to this machine .

The biggest disadvantage of this type of design is combining the bed with the Y-axis. The bed including the print object is really heavy. This makes the Y axis always bed! With this size and price, the CoreXY is much better!
