I'd love more tip videos like this for the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro! This helped me out a LOT.

[UncleJessy]

Hot damn! I've never ever done this before and for sure will be trying this out and seeing how the prints compare!

I subscribed because of this video. Clear and consice instructions for the PID calibration. That's been hanging over my head as I calibrate my first FDM printer and you made it infinitely more approachable. Thanks.

One last tip. Print a thin cube to save filament. Check the surface and adjust flow to get a nice top layer.

Changing the steps per mm value can be easily changed directly on the printer in "Settings/Advanced Settings/Motor Settings/E-axis pulse" and here is number of steps per mm for extruder. You don't need to do it via computer.

In my case running PID tuning doesn't work. Apparently firmware version 1.1 does not support the M303 command. It throws me errors and the printer freezes.

But Thank you for great video

Thank you very much for your tutorial! Neptune 3 Pro is my first (own) FDM printer and I find the print quality after tuning just stunning (especially compared to our Ultimaker S3 at work)!

[jeremygavisk]

Super helpful video! My extruder was only push 83 mm instead of 100mm and the PID analysis showed some big differences. Thank you so much!

[PokeJulyTCG]

This is my first printer and ordered another one. Would love to see more Neptune 3 pro videos!

[alexanderpopov]

Excellent guide, thank you! Don’t forget sending M500 to save the new parameters.

[wesleydutoit]

Did exactly what you said, and Bada Bing bomb. PERFECT prints! And I mean super close to resin quality! Thanks for all the work you do my dude😁

[FrancoCN]

Your PID adjustment tutorial was PERFECT. I'm printing a new calibration cube as I write this comment!

[MrSpazbomb]

Thank for making this clear for new people like me. So much information out there that is way too confusing, incomplete, or just assumes this is my 10th printer.

[GuimRH]

Easy, quick and right to the point. Thank you!!

These sound like fantastic tips that everyone should do. I ordered a Neptune 3 Plus but it hasn't arrived yet. I want to do this when I get it set up, I'm a complete beginner and unfamiliar with the software you mentioned.
Will these changes we enter stay in firmware for the life of the printer?
Will they have to be re-entered each time we update the firmware, and should we go through the procedure again or just use the same values?
If you could talk more about what you're doing that wold help complete beginners like me. Thank you for an excellent post.

Thanks dude!
For some weird reason my neptune started under extruding and other stuff. whatever I printed turned out to be Kanye glasses. Now it's a lot better. I'll probably do a deeper dive with the teaching tech method but it's intimidating. this tutorial med the level of entry much lower.

thanks again

Thanks for the video. Just got my Neptune 3 setup and I am brand new to 3d printing. Fortunately I have a background in CNC/machining and a lot of this makes sense. But the video definitely helped!

[Hawk]

If I ever get home again (not looking likely) and I get my CR-10S running these ideas have some helpful hints I'll happily use.

[leomessi]

This video and this chanel's content is gold. Keep up the great work!

[Enrique-ipfq]

Exactly what I was searching for. Thanks a lot sir!! Real life hero!

[krislukiwski]

Dang! None of this I have ever seen online for tuning any FDM printer. Been struggling with my Neptune 3 on getting adhesion and proper layers placed since I got it! Thanks for the information, gonna go do this now.
