Elegoo Neptune 4 Professional: Extremely quick Klipper-enabled 3D printer

Retailing for a really affordable $299, the brand new Elegoo Neptune 4 Professional is among the most promising FDM 3D printers operating on Klipper firmware, attracting inexperienced persons and budget-focused DIYers. Its max velocity was doubled from its predecessor’s 250mm/s to 500mm/s.

N4 Professional’s motherboard options and quad-core 64-bit 1.5GHz ARM  processor that enables quick g-code file processing and motor management. The print recordsdata may be loaded offline by means of a micro SD card or on-line through USB or WiFi.

The 300°C high-temp nozzle with an prolonged hotend design to totally soften the filament, and you may discover a wider vary of supplies, corresponding to PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and high-temp filaments like nylon and carbon fiber. The max print mattress temperature was additionally elevated from 100°C to 110°C. To deal with the excessive printing speeds and excessive temperatures, the dual-gear direct drive extruder is provided with a high-performance cooling mode -the most vital visible distinction from the older Neptun 3 Professional, reviewed final yr right here on FirstQuadcopter.

ELEGOO Neptune 4 Professional options an clever segmented 235*235mm heated mattress for added effectivity and energy-saving and a hotbed overheat safety swap to forestall thermal runaway from inflicting injury or fireplace. The print mattress may be set to 100W to warmth solely the middle space (120mmx120mm), making it perfect for smaller fashions. The mattress may be set to 250W for bigger fashions, heating your entire floor space. 

The PEI magnetic platform contains a particular coating and spring metal sheet for good adhesion and anti-warping. Simply gently bend the print metal plate to launch or pop off the prints.

Key Options

• [Pre-installed Klipper Firmware] The Neptune 4 Professional 3D printer is designed to be quick and environment friendly. It contains a quiet Klipper motherboard and ARM 64-bit 1.5G essential frequency quad-core processor for enough processing energy, permitting it to print at an incredible velocity of as much as 500mm/s (really useful 250mm/s), and helps superior capabilities like enter shaping and stress advance to attain correct and clean fashions. The 8GB RAM can retailer over 400 fashions and fast entry when wanted.
• [Dual-Gear Direct Drive Extruder] The twin-gear direct drive extruder with a 5.2:1 discount ratio for clean and constant extrusion, mixed with the copper-titanium bi-metal throat pipe and distinctive air duct design, improves warmth dissipation and reduces nozzle clogging.
• [300°C High-temp Nozzle] With a high-temperature nozzle reaching 300°C, the printer can deal with many filaments, together with PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and nylon. The prolonged scorching finish design ensures constant heating and sooner melting and extrusion, leading to sooner printing velocity.
• [Intelligent Segmented Heatbed]With 100W+150W energy output, the slicing software program routinely acknowledges the mannequin’s measurement throughout slicing and prompts the peripheral heating zone if the mannequin measurement exceeds the central heating zone (120mmx120mm). The 2 partitions will also be turned on and off manually for extra exact temperature management. Moreover, the floor of the PEI magnetic platform is marked for steering.
• [Auto Bed Leveling + Auxiliary Leveling] With 121 (11×11) factors auto mattress leveling, you possibly can obtain constant and dependable prints each time with out the necessity for guide mattress leveling. Moreover, the auxiliary leveling by hand-twist knobs permits for additional fine-tuning of the print mattress’s degree for improved print high quality.
• [Efficient Heat Dissipation] It options two thickened double-sided 4015 ball-bearing cooling followers and 4×4020 ball-bearing blower followers behind the print head for fast omnidirectional cooling of the newly printed layers to forestall warping and enhance the general print high quality even at a quick printing velocity.
